I redid 16.1 today. I scored 249. A few more reps than last time but didn’t quite get the 10 rounds finished. 9+15. Rest up everyone!

So impressive! Your score and the fact that you could redo it. I am still too sore to think about redoing it. Such a great score!

Thanks Leticia! It was equally as awful if not worse especially the first three rounds until my legs got the blood flowing.

I have a question for the coaches, as I am not sure if I should re-do 16.1. Originally I was planning on today, but I still felt so fatigued and beat-up from Friday, I did Saturday’s workout at an easy pace instead. I scored 216, which isn’t bad, but not great, was hoping for 9 rounds. In the end, I should be able to get into the top 200, hoping for top 100 at end of open, but should I redo anyways just to move up a bit, when I probably won’t make the top 20? I guess I am… Read more »

Hey Pete – I am so sorry I am just seeing this. I don’t know if this is too late or not but I would assess how much more of an improvement you think you can achieve and how much it will push you to be in the top after the 5 weeks. If it is worth it and you will recover well, then go for it today.

Second attempt at 16.1 today…went from 159 to 172 reps…so a 13 rep improvement. I’m much happier with the effort I put forth this time. I was a little short of my goal of 7 rds but I had pacing check points to stick to and that helped me a lot.

Great job! I’ll take a 13 rep improvement when I retest tomorrow 🙂

Did you set pace check points every round or just a couple?

Has anyone seen significantly better results from doing 16.1 again? If so, what changes did you make?

I redid Friday’s on Sunday but abandoned at 17:00 minutes. Left quad locked up and decided not to push through and risk injury. Upper legs had not fully recovered, which really started to surface in the 7th round. Just a minute earlier I was right on pace to do better. My first score was OK (192) but not great. Went too hot out of the gate on Friday, and nose dived in round 6-8. I feel anything over 15 minutes is wheelhouse for me and 8 rounds should be well within my capacity. But so it goes, onto 16.2.
