General Training Notes:
This open workout is FAST. Adler smashed the time in 6:13. It goes without saying that the reps are expected to be completed unbroken if you want a fast time. From there it’s going to come down to burpee efficiency and consistency. If you blast yourself too early on you might hit some dropoff, so find that consistent pace that allows you to acccelerate the movement as the reps decrease. Just remind yourself that each round is 6 reps less so that pace needs to increase as the reps decrease. Make sure you practice your burpee approach. Some people will benefit from stepping out of the burpee before jumping over in order to maintain your heart rate. If you jump/jump out of the gates you might blow up early both heart rate-wise and in the arches. Use the practice rounds to determine what that pace will look like for you and then hold yourself to it.
