Opens WOD 15.5 (2nd attempt)
Hoping to break 8:00 this time and I know it won't be easy. Very little margin for error. Need to pace this perfectly.
Strategy is to break first 2 rounds into 10/9/8, 8/7/6. Round of 15 will hopefully be 8/7 and last round unbroken on the 9.
Rowing-wise, need to hold a pace of 1205 Cals/Hr at a minimum and hopefully a lot faster in the last round.
So, I was executing this strategy perfectly until the round of 15. I did 8 reps but then couldn't get 7 in a row without breaking (4/3). Last row of 9 Cals was sllooowww and things really started to unravel a bit. Last 9 thrusters were not U/B. Did 5 and then barely squeaked out 4 (last rep VERY questionable!!). New time is 8:09. Content that I did a lot better but not satisfied because I fell short of my goal of breaking 8:00. That being said, I gave it all I had. Had nothing left to give at the end.
