Wow, was my legs ever made of syrup, today was that day. Didn’t time the intervals in the hill, just divided each run in three parts which I did at approx 70, 80, 90-95% speed. Never went to max, but each round was taxing me more than the previous.

Felt quite smashed when I got to the gym, took me a good hour before I even could push my self to warm up. Ring series went ok, gymnasticswod stretch before definitely helped my stiff hammies.

Metcon was same feeling as hill sprints all over, no fast gear to put in with any of the exercises. Did like the Ring PU’s though, way harder than regular ones, had to single kip almost every one. Hopefully a light swim session and then two full days of rest will be exactly what I need to feel fast on Saturday’s competition!

Namaste!
