Today's little workout was....
30:00 of rowing
Every 2:00 perform 10 Thrusters @ 115#
Where do I begin? There is only one word that I can think of to describe this one....horribleness!
I started having thoughts of tapping out on this one at about 10:00 in. I don't think I have ever done over 100 Thrusters in a workout before and certainly not with more than 95#! Today I did 150 with lots of rowing in between. Let's just say that 115 felt like 155 by the time I was done. I am feeling the lactic acid buildup in my quads already. Can't imagine what tomorrow is going to feel like.
This was a good man-test for me. I really suck at Thrusters and there is probably no other movement that is more mentally challenging for me. I wish I could say I killed this workout but the fact is, it was all I could do to just get through it. After 30:00 I had managed to row 3,600 Meters between 15 rounds of Thrusters. My strategy was to row at my lazy 50% effort of 2:05. By the later rounds I was pulling at about a 2:25 pace and taking several seconds of rest before I even started the row. Like I said, this was not my finest hour but I got through it and I live to fight another day!!
