AMRAP 20 min
row 250m
21 SDHP (I used 25 kg = 55#)
15 pull ups (green band)
I got 3 rounds plus 250 m. The workout wouldn't have been so bad if we didn't have to go up and down a flight of stairs and across a basketball court to get to the C2s. I say we because I did it with two guys named Mike who also CF. One of the Mikes is an absolute powerhouse. I think he got 4 rounds, but then again, he stopped his timer when walking to and from the rowing machine, and I treated it as a rest while the clock was still going, so who knows... I definitely felt the pressure not to rest as much during the SDHPs because of that long walk.
This is the first real met-con I've done in a while, and it kicked my ass.
I think next time I'll attempt women's Rx of 65# on the SDHPs, as these didn't take as long for me as they did for the Mikes, who were doing theirs at men's Rx. I also want to go down a band to blue on the pull ups, but I knew I wouldn't make it through if I tried to do that today.
We did this one today, Saturday. It did not look so bad on paper, but it was a hellacious workout - pulling in three directions. Great upper body workout. Energy level about 30dB below full tank trying to recover.
