400m running with 199HR, DB thrusters, L-PU, Row

WOD#110 3 x (400m@6min/mi + 15 squats) 10:17@188/199

Max HR reached 199! which is a huge increase from previous high of 196. The 400m interval with tiny breaks were uncomfortable but not really that hard. The difference was that these intervals were done in Nike frees as opposed to Supernovas for similar wods before and that made world of difference. The runs were very smooth. No issue wtih heel pain.I messed the wod spec by reading the squat counts at 15 instead of 50 as Rxed. This was not intentional scale down. In fact, I am not sure its a scale down at all if the running became more intense due to shorter squat sets.

WOD#111 Twins 2 x (3m min Row/20ElevatedPush/20DBThrusters60#/20L-PU) 42:15@146/173

The DB Thrusters at 60# were killer. I have done quite a few Thrusters at 65# using barbell (eg. Fran) but DB was a whole different ball game. It was quite difficult getting through the "sticky point" and then maintaining proper straight line without a twist on overhead portion of push. The trick which helped me get through last few sets of 3 reps was hard breathing followed by holding breath before squating. Rowing was fine. I was disappointed at scores (650m/630m) for 3min rowing but I am also hurting a bit from interval runnung yesterday. Elevated pushups were easy. I did all 20 in on go in each round. L- PU contiunue to be tought and I did them in sets of 3/4 with some back support. I did manage to get legs straighters for last 2 of each set of 3 L-PUs.
