There are no words to describe how bad 15.5 felt. Holy shit. That was fucking terrible.
When this one was announced, I was pretty indifferent. I knew it was going to hurt but I didn't think it would hurt THAT badly. This one isn't super great for me, I'm not a huge fan of thrusters. Stephen and I decided that my game plan was to keep the calories between 975-1000 cal/hour on the row and break up the thrusters 12/9/6, 9/7/5, 8/7 and then go unbroken on the last set. On the 27 and 21 calories I was able to hold my pace but on 15 and 9 it definitely slowed down. It wasn't a drastic change but it was slower than my goal pace. I was able to stick with the plan on the thrusters for the 27 and 21, but once I got to the set of 15 I hit a wall. I broke them up 7/4/4 and I was resting way too much between sets. I definitely need to cut down rest time between sets when I redo it on Monday. The last set of 9 thrusters felt like the walls were closing in and my body was going to explode. It was so awful.
This is the most painful workout I've done in a very long time, I think the only other workout that compares to this one is the OPT row/KB/burpee test. It took me a solid hour to recover. Jesus. I figured I would end up around 10:00 but Stephen said I need to be faster than that. When I redo it on Monday I'm not going to change anything on the row, but I'm going to break up the thrusters 9/9/9, 7/7/7, 5/5/5 and go unbroken on the last 9. I also need to rest less between sets of thrusters. I'm dreading doing this workout again. On the plus side, I know how painful it is so I know what to expect. On the down side, since I do know how bad it's going to feel I'm afraid I won't want to push as hard. But I'm just going to have to go there again.
