Eager to share everyones discomfort,burn off some Betty Blue Breakfast and show off a little I just did this morning's WOD (interestingly I did the first one pretending that there were no penalties for slowness later on and then tricked myself by revealing that I was lying and I actually would have to do 10 burpees if i didn't get within 10 secs of that first time - I got me good!)

1- 1:32.7
2- 1:38.4
3- 1:38.7
4- 1:39.3
5- 1:40.3

Even though as I said this morning I anticipated a linear deterioration, in retrospect mine looks pretty textbook in that the first one is done with 100% energy, 3 mins to recover 95% of the energy then 3mins to recover 95% of the 95% and so on. so after the first one a tapered deterioration makes sense.

dead lifts at your place tomorrow brett?? im in if your doin something anyway, keen for another group session(?!), let me know...

Steve said...

awsome side profile to by the way, is that 'blue steel'??

Graeme_M said...

who ever say's that heavy weights' (insert fat guy) row's faster then the skinny people is such a damn liar....

My last 2 rows @ 1:39.9 were nothing but death, especially the last one i tried to get more power into it and slow the stroke rate down, that was good for about the first 100m but then i hit the wall of, can't get enough O2 in and i wanna talk to pukie...

I briefly saw a sub 1:30/500m pace for about 6 strokes then the wall smashed me.....

I should really find all the CF journal articles and video's on rowing and take some notes to correct my form, and hit that sub 1:30/500m, since I'm not content with my 1:34.4/500m PB...

See you all tomorrow, maybe...

Tomorrow we are going to attack "The Bear" A barbell is taken from the ground to the rack(either full or power clean or dead lift and hang clean) then a front squat is completed before hitting the overhead position via either a thruster or push press, the bar comes down onto the shoulders for a back squat before heading back overhead. 5 attempts at 7 'laps' looking to increase the weight each attempt.

Should be fun! 2PM as usual.

Chris said...

well the bear sounds appropriate for the food I've shovelled down my gob today. I really need to work it off so I'll be there tomorrow.

Geez, it was a nice b'fast at Betty Blue. I'm sure that Brett beat us for time getting the plate finished :D

Scotty.A said...

He is an eating machine! I'm just happy I finished, must have been the bourbon and pizza training. I've been pretty solid in that dept for awhile now

Good session today and I'm looking forward to tomorrow :D

Matthew said...
