She's not making me, but the SRLF is a major factor why I'm a regular there.

 

Monday 12 February

Endurance day

Pick your poison for 10km: Run, Row or Assault Bike. Suggestion was to go for what you'd normally avoid, in order to work on weaknesses

Score: Ran 10km in 74' 15". That's one hour, fourteen minutes and fifteen seconds. I hate running.

Sounds like me and my spartan race.

Yep. Did that.

I'm good.

Rowing is amazing.

My partner and I used to row almost daily.

I miss it.

(Pondering that, now)

This sounds like the endurance specialty classes they do at our Box, i avoid them like the plague..

Saturday 17 February

Rowing class

20 Rounds of:
20" @ 32 SPM (100% pull)
40" Rest

Score: 2.316m and a new PR by 688m but I'm thinking it's a fluke. After each round, the rower showed the distance done during the round, but the total kept on logging distance from the leftover force of the final pull.

Tuesday 20 February

Rowing class

4 Rounds of:
1000m @ 28 SPM (***)
1' Rest

Score: 17' 46"

[DarK_RaideR]

Thursday 22 February

1 hour of (Power, according to the SRLF) Yoga. Plenty of hip and hamstring stretches, broke a good sweat which isn't a regular for me doing yoga.

[DarK_RaideR]

Sunday 25 February

Crossfit Games Open 18.1 (Scaled)

AMRAP 20'

8 Hanging Knee Raises

10 Dumbbell Clean and Press (5 in each hand)

14 calories on the rower

Score: 267 reps (8 rounds + 11 reps)

 

Cross-posting workout comments from my challenge thread:

Quote

I kept moving at all times, to the point where I got a compliment about it from my judge post-workout. Even breaks were "programmed" into my pace instead of pushing till I could go no more and resting till I could collect myself, proof that my mental game and pacing have improved. I think the rowing classes are largely to blame for that, as well as the technique that had me blazing calories on the rower without burning too much of my own gas and catching a breath instead. After the 4th or so round I had to break my knee raises to 4+4 due to failing grip strength, also catching a short breath between the 5+5 DB reps, but it was all part of the plan;short,planned breaks and immediatly back on the attack. Spent by the end, but having kept a constant pace through the entire 20 minutes, I don't think there's anything that could have gone any better. Probably the first time I'm 100% satisfied with how I handled an open/competition workout.

Your cross post is the difference between competitors and people who just show up. Exceptional work.

Tuesday 27 February

Rowing class

16' at 22 s/m and 25% pull

3' rest

16' at 26 s/m and 50%

plus a 30 burpee penalty for not storing the DB and rower after I did 18.1 on Sunday

[DarK_RaideR]

Thursday 1 March

Yoga class, lot of emphasis on (lower) back stretches. Good stuff.

[DarK_RaideR]

Saturday 2 March

Crossfit Games Open 18.2 and 18.2A (Scaled)

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 reps of

DB Squats (17,5kg)

Bar facing burpees

For time, cap at 12'

In the remaining time until the time cap, score 1RM Clean as 18.2A

Score: 11'30" and a 94lb clean. Pretty disappointed, as I got like 6-8 no reps on the squats and the bar came up flying, I didn't even need to squat. Probably had more in the tank than I thought and certainly could have cleaned more weight.

 

Sunday 3 March

Shot No2 at Crossfit Games Open 18.2 and 18.2A (Scaled)

Score: 9'41" and 156/71kg on the Clean for a lifting PR

[DarK_RaideR]

Friday 9 March

Crossfit Games Open 18.3 (Scaled)

2 rounds for time with a 14' time cap

100 Single Unders

20 Overhead Squats (20kg)

100 Single Unders

12 Pull ups

100 Single Unders

20 One-arm Dumbbell Snatches (17,5kg)

100 Single Unders

12 Pull ups

Score: 616 reps, which is 1 full round, one set of SUs, the OHS and 32 SUs after that.

Comments: No grip/arm/shoulder issues, which probably means I was ok on the technical side and not overstressing the same body part. Did real bad on the stamina/breath/heart rate front though, got gassed out too soon with my diaphragm stuck and feeling knife stabs between my ribs which slowed me down and forced me to take unnecessary breaks. Also, my quads just refused to jump any rope after each set of OHS. Might re-test on Monday, not that sure yet as I gave it all I had anyway and I'm not so sure how much better my body could perform the second time round.

Tuesday 13 March

Rowing class

20' for distance, 28 s/m at 75% pull

Score: 4128m at an average of 26 s/m. Wasn't feeling it and the absence showed.

[Kishi]

Eh. Regarding 18.3, that just looks like a gasser. It's not meant to be survived. Frankly, I don't know that I would have made it through the pull ups; I probably would need some kind of inverted row, and even then...

According to the leaderboards, only two people in the whole world made it to the end of 18.3
