Tommy V as Rx'd...heh heh heh...


Okay I went into this with the stubborn determination that I was going to do every bit of this as Rx'd regardless of how long it took me. That mind set coupled with my fear of heights made for an interesting WOD.


All Thrusters were done unbroken with relative ease...mostly due to the fact that it took me ages to do all the rope climbs so I was pretty much recovered. I probably could have gone faster on the climbs but, as I mentioned above, my fear of heights and the thought of fatiguing at the top of the rope and falling 15-20 feet to the floor did not appeal to me.


That being said, I took my time and made sure I was ready, admittedly mentally more than physically, for each ascent. To give you an idea of my approach to the WOD...I had a conversation with a couple of guys in the room in between several ascents, stopped to tape my fingers...which look like hamburger now ...and texted my wife periodically between ascents. Nevertheless I completed the whole thing from beginning to end...


The grand total time...almost don't want to post it...but will anyway...was...38:20...there...I said it...totally abysmal and knowingly missed the metabolic intent of the WOD, but like I said...I did it Rx'd...and that was my goal...
