Athlete Notes:
If you’ve been around the blog for awhile you may recognize this one from last year. This year we’re taking out the 60 second rest and seeing how consistent you can hit each round. We want to see you pushing the pace and then seeing how well you can hang on. The reps are short so transition quickly. Hit the run at your mile pace, unbroken on the pull-ups, unbroken on the wall balls, and smooth and consistent on the box jump overs. Remember we’re hitting the jump overs as open-style from 2022 so work on jumping, spinning, and stepping off the box.
