Fitness-3/30-"Sumo-Thruster War"

Tuesday

No lift today, just one hell of a wod. "Sumo-Thruster War" was on the docket today, 20 minutes of pain:

30 seconds thrusters, 115#
30 seconds rest
30 seconds sdhp, 115#
30 seconds rest

repeat for 20 minutes

score=192

I went after this one with my bud and teammate Jonathan by my side. It was a good war indeed as we offset in order to work while the other one rested, a good battle back and forth. My goal was to go after this one hard until I hit a wall and then scrap to finish every round with the same amount of reps as in the round I "crashed." And I did pretty well to do that. My goal going in, however, was to hit 200 reps-I wanted to average 20 reps per minute of work. And I fell 8 reps short which seems like a lot but when you break it down, that's less than an extra 1/2 rep per interval. When I think back to the times I dropped the bar when there were still a few seconds left in the interval, I realize I could've gotten those 8 reps easy. A little disappointed with my resolve during this one but a great wod none the less.
