12/14 Big Dawg Challenge Day 1

Day 1
1.
"Combined Jump"
For inches/reps:
10 min establish 3 max distance broad jumps

Overlooked that this was a combination of 3 jumps or maybe I would have done 1 more. I did 5 and each one got better. 6'1", 6'1.5", 6'5", 6'9", 6'10".  Never done standing broad jump before.  Not exactly my specialty.  

Rest 1 min
10 min establish 3 amrap sets of DU's unbroken
(scored as total inches for 3 jumps plus total reps for best 3 max sets)

122, 122, 116.  No mulligans.  Old PR was 103.  if the 2nd set wasn't mental then I don't know what is.  I remember hoping that I'd hit 100 again and then I did and kept going and didn't know when it was going to stop…I never imagined I could do more than the first set and then I suddenly couldn't.  Oh the power of the mind.  Arms fatigue first. 

 

Combined three best jumps.  Tape Measure starts at toe of Athlete and scoring is from heel of where athlete lands.  Tape measure visible during movements.  

 

DUs – as many sets as you choose in 10min time frame.  Best three attempts = score. 

Rest 15 min

This was never really terribly hard.  The toughest part was transitioning from C&J to rower.  First 100m or so would feel shitty.  I kept it aerobic to not mess up the C&J. Could have pushed the edge there a bit, & was acknowledging it during the workout as to where I could pick it up, but kept choosing not to.  T/L area of back quite fatigued by the last two sets of rows.  

(Scored as total time; dq in place if athlete does not compete reps unbroken; no pause on ground)
