Test 6: Helena Handbasket
Fridays evening event had split heats for TV viewing. Most of the men went first, then all the women, then the last heat of men. So the top women and men’s heats went primetime, which is sweet. What it did mean however is that heat 5 men went 2 hours after heat 4 and had a late night, but we all started the next morning at the same time for a mass start. Night time come down after events can be tough. Bringing your system back down, getting out of the venue, eating, showering,etc. It takes longer than you want. I made a joke earlier in the day that I hoped I could work my way back up to 9th before test 6 so I could stay on track for my comeback plan, but have an early night, and I absolutely nailed it. I was in 9th by 1 point behind @dallinpepper . Finally starting to dial in that execution 😂.
Last workout today was Helena, a twist on a benchmark. They did a great job setting up this workout. A staggered normalized the run distances on the start and there were no real transitions so it was all gas. 3 round workouts are pretty brutal. First round fresh and fast, last round you push since you’re almost down. Middle round you wanna die.
In my heat i wasn’t sure who the threats were, but was hoping we had some fast dudes to pull the heat along. Everyone ran out hard, but at the first corner the Group slowed a lot. I was stuck in the middle and had to work my way out into the front to get a bit more pace. The rest of the workout was straight forward. The bar muscle ups were unbroken, push the snatch but be clean, too fast and the no reps roll in. I drained the blisters on my fingers before the event they wouldn’t pop into a wet mess on the bar. It mostly worked but they still got pretty juicy during. Sorry lane 4 women 🤷🏼‍♂️.
Coming into the coliseum from the run every time the cheers were awesome. I had a fun race with @jellehoste , no he didn’t elbow me.
I got to go home early and watch the heat 5 boys on ESPN. I really wished I was in that heat. They all were quick. I managed to sneak in just ahead of most of the heat by about 1 second. Good enough for 6th, but a close call.
I was glad I’d be back running with the big dogs on Saturday.
