Going through a mock 2018 Regional over the next few days ... looking forward to testing out these workouts.

AM Workout (0530) 

2018 Regional Event 1
'Triple Three'
For time:
3000m Row
300 Double-Unders
3 Mile Run

*Time cap = 49 minutes

-Result =

38:30 ... splits were:
11:10 (row)
15:15 (DU) = 4:05
38:30  (run) 23:15 (ran two 8:00 miles and a 7:15)

This would have been 6th place at the Atlantic Regional and 47th of 316 overall of all Regional men; further, it would have been 37th of 43 Games men in 2014, with me placing 1 second ahead of Rich Froning who did get 37th that year; overall really happy with this time. I didn't really know what to expect coming into this workout. My plan was to be right around 11 minutes and 15 minutes for the initial splits... didn't know what to expect out of the run, paced it out with two 8 minutes miles and then picked it up on the last one. Overall felt very fit on this... glad I came into this after two days of rest. Body was feeling great.

PM Workout (1800) 

2018 Regional Event 2
'Linda'
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps for time of:
Deadlift, 295 / 220 lb.
Bench press, 195 / 135 lb.
Squat clean, 145 / 105 lb.

*Time cap: 17 minutes

-Result =

-Cap + 53 (Finished round of 7 + 4 bench press) ... this is a bit depressing in contrast to my performance this morning. I am well aware that I am terrible at benching. This performance would be last place at the Atlantic Regional and 305th place overall of 315 regional men ... anyway I went on to finish and completed all the reps at 28:04 ... this is a PR and the first time I've ever done 'Linda' as Rx (last weigh in was at 194.4# about two weeks ago). Overall I have to be happy that I am able to do this workout Rx, even if I am far over the time-cap. Dead-lifts were all unbroken and most of the squat cleans were unbroken ... I am just a bad bencher. Sets went 6/4 ... 3/3/2/1 ... 3/3/2 ... 3/2/1/1 ... 3/1/1/1... 2/2/1 ... 2/1 ... 2 ... 1 ... ROUGH.
