10 Rounds for time
9 Thrusters
35 Double Unders
As predicted – Double Unders! No Open is complete without them. I’m pleased to note that I’ve come a long way from my first open in 2015 when I could only get about 10 in a row. In this workout, my first 5 rounds were unbroken. And then my rope broke. That cost me a bit of time, first trying to fix my rope and then going to find another one. Nothing like having to think quick when you’re breathing hard. The next five rounds were a bit slower as I couldn’t string as many together as I would have liked, but it’s all good. Thrusters were split up into 5-4, and then 3-3-3 after round 5. Last round was a push and managed to get 5-4, which I’m really happy with. This one sneaks up on you and I tried breathing as much as possible but Round 6 is where things start happening. Round 8-10 were strange as in my mind I wanted to get back on the bar but my body didnt want to – I had to physically tell myself to get back on it. I was thinking between 10-15 minutes max for this workout but I totally overestimated the power of jelly legs on double unders! It really humbles you. All in all a great 5 weeks of testing one’s fitness – thoroughly enjoyed it!
