Finished up Hunters work. Decided to do EMOM
Did 20lb WB 20/10 all sets except last was 22/8
400m row around 1:55
Did 12 pullups and 12 strict rind dips because I can’t do MUs yet. Just know able to butterfly with my shoulder issue so I’m stoked
25 cal bike done in around 1:20 each round except last was around 1:10
I think I paced too much.
Last time I did this it hurt way worse. Or I’m just getting more fit lol

Ok future thoughts. On emoms like this should I try to pick a more aggressive pace on the row and bike. Say hold sub 1:50 splits and try to hold 1:10 on bike. or up the calories and distance ?

It will depend on the time frame. You want to adjust so that you can maintain the time frame and be challenged to keep it under toward the end.
