Yesss, glad I didn’t miss this one, always love some sprints! The band resistance was pretty rough and at some points I really didn’t think I was moving forward at all. Towards the end of each my legs were giving out and I’m pretty sure Dave was easing up on me quite a bit. The last sprint without resistance was awesome, though. Despite the warning from Chris, still didn’t fully expect the difference on those first couple steps and almost lost to the gravel but after getting moving it felt like I was flying compared to the previous rounds!

The met-con may be the first team workout where the peer pressure was actually in reverse with encouragement to fall faster. I didn’t need that encouragement, though. After doing endless burpees while Troy killed the first plank, everything else fell apart. The worst was the renegade rows and oddly what I had expected to be truly awful – the v-sit – wasn’t all that bad. By the end, though, we were barely getting in 3-5 burpees while someone held the DBs overhead or that round would have sucked pretty bad, too.

This combination probably was very effective in sweating out a week’s worth of bad eating on the road so looking forward to being closer to 100% tomorrow then really, really sore when it kicks in on Monday.
Yeah Inchworms!!! 🙂 So bummed I missed this one! 🙁
