8th & I
3 rounds, for time, of:
15 thrusters (100)
12 burpees
9 pull-ups
?
Notes: So frustrating! The camera and timer stopped working 25 seconds into the workout! As a result, I have no actual data on this workout. I completed this same workout in 8.44 last November (thrusters were done at 95#). I'm pretty sure I got under that this time around; however, I can't be sure. Thrusters felt strong today, both legs and pressing. I went unbroken on the first round and then broke 5/5/5 and 5/4/3/3. It was more of a global conditioning issue than a muscle failure issue. Burpees were brutal on the heels of the thrusters. I never stopped moving, but I was moving awfully slow. Pull-ups were unbroken and not bad at all. I did a good job of transitioning between movements. This one took me deep into the pain cave. Spent a good minute on the ground post-workout before regrouping and doing a 5-minute cool-down of incline walking on the treadmill. Next time around, I'll force myself to go 8/7 and 5/5/5 on the thrusters to eliminate two rest periods.
A freight train is strong, powerful, and steady across long distances. A freight train only goes "off the tracks" if it gets going at a pace faster than it can sustain. Bobby Scott Performance believes that a large volume of sub-maximal efforts paired with intelligently programmed bouts of intensity will develop a strong, powerful competitor with a huge aerobic base -- in other words, "an aerobic freight train."
Nice work! Looks like a tough one. Thrusters and burpees are brutal back to back. Good fight, I'm sure your time was better this time around.
