We have been starting to seriously amp up the training in preparation for the qualifier coming up May 16th and Saturday was the first of 3 two-a-day workouts to take place in the next few weeks.
The first workout called for completing the following as fast as possible:
-2k row
-6 rounds of 30 box jumps, 24" box
-6 rounds of 10 wall-balls, 20# ball
time=17:39
I rowed a 6:55 2k which I was fairly happy about. For the box jumps, I felt lighter on my feet than I have in a long time. And the best part was, I had extra gas in the tank that I haven't felt in a long time and was able to push a pretty mean pace through the jumps and wall-balls. Could have been faster, but they are much improved.
The second workout was performed 4 hours later and was 3 rounds for time of:
-10 deadlifts, 275#
-50 double-unders
time=4:30
Not much to say about this one. It was what it was. I certainly could have been faster if I would have strung out the double-unders. I didn't make the second and third rounds unbroken. I had another gear for this one, kind of bummed I didn't hit it. Again though, the good news is I had another gear/more gas in the tank. The strict nutrition is really paying off.
