16.2 Done
I attempted to do the 16.2 workout yesterday, but I am both pleased and disappointed in my performance. I got 71 reps, which is 25 toes-to-bar and 46 double-unders. I was pleased to get so many doubles, but disappointed that my score was so dismal in the grand scheme of things. My toes-to-bar went pretty well, I was able to get I think 10 in my first set, then 5, then 3, then singles to finish it out. But the double-unders happened in sets of 1-5 and it just took too long. My doubles are actually improving, and I got a PR yesterday of 7 consecutive double-unders, but they're not anywhere near where they'd need to be to do well in a workout like this. I am most likely going to attempt to do 16.2 again on Monday just to see if I can get past the first four minutes.

I definitely think you should try it again! I find both double unders and toes to bar frustrating as I can sometimes string them together, other times I can't. Eric suggested doing double unders every night after you workout. You're tired, so it's a good time to work on your muscle memory for doubles. He rocks his doubles now, so I think this would be a good plan!
ReplyDeleteWhile I'm not doing great in the Open RX category, it's helped me set new goals for next year. I must get stronger legs. I must get my toes to bar and double unders where I can string them together. We just have to take the positives out of these experiences and make plans for next year! Now go rock your 16.2 again and get to those cleans!
