Friday 9 Mar 12

Rest day.

Well, tomorrow's the big day. Open workout 12.3 calls for AMRAP in 18 minutes of: 15 box jumps (24 inch), 12 shoulder-to-overheads (115#), and 9 toes-to-bar. The big number that jumps out is the 18 minutes. I haven't done a workout of this length , with competition-style intensity, in quite some time. I've been training more in the 5-7 minute domain. The 9-minute event at SuperFit was absolutely brutal! I think this length of a workout will require some form of pacing. My goal is to keep myself moving just past the point of discomfort. I think the push presses and toes-to-bar will slow me down just enough that I'll stay below the "red-line." I'll try to get my rest when I have to break up those movements. I have the goal of 10 rounds in mind, but it's not really based on anything. I've never done toes-to-bar in a metcon before, but I plan to give it my best shot!
