Houston we got a problem. My engine is either broken or simply missing.

No expectations for these wods, but these scores are just beyond ”bad”. Wish I had any kind of good excuse, but me being out of shape and in bad conditioning just is what it is.

Missed the very first clean of that event, which made me scared of them. Rowing.. Seriously I just stopped after 6-700m, was about to step off the rower and call it a day, but Rika urged me to keep up and I decided to finish no matter what time I would get. Kind of barely what I did too.

Two positive things, 1: all MU’s unbroken and easy, no wonder in that tempo, and 2: Wall Ball and TTB technique worked really well! Everything unbroken and with a better engine I would have had a good score here.

Not too worried or surprised to be honest, gonna stick with the Outlaw program and perhaps carefully supplement with some disgusting rowing and running intervals to get conditioned for the FiCT in 3 weeks time.

Namaste!
