Wow, so talk about another workout that just does NOT play to my strengths!! This one is all about the HSPU's, not just for me but everybody. I knew that I'd eventually hit a wall with these if I did not pace it right. Strategy was to break sets very early and try to maintain sets of 3 through the round of 12.

I had a gameplan that was right down to the second and I figured best case, I could get through the round of 15. That's about as good as it gets for me. I knew that would not be within miles of an elite score. Best case, I am able to avoid dropping too far and still stay near top 50 WW going into last week of Opens.

I executed my gameplay fairly well. However; I had some tough reps in the round of 12 and probably should have broken into even smaller sets in this round. I got to the round of 15 HSPU with PLENTY of time on the clock (maybe 3 or 4 minutes??) and needed all of it to grind through all 15 of the HSPU's. Final score was 60. Not terrible, but I would have loved to have been at least 66. Will try again on Sunday.
