Okay, so trial number 2 of 14.1 went pretty much as expected. I was able to get more a little time to get into the snatches of the 7th round. Unfortunately not enough gas in my tank to complete them but I am satisfied with 304.
14.2 - 3 mins to do 2 rounds of 10 OHS and 10 C2B. If successful, 3 mins to do 12 OHS/12 C2B, etc...
I did this Friday evening after a Thursday night of beer tasting and late night dinner. Not exactly a recipe for success but it is what it is. 123 reps. 7 OHS into the 2nd round of 14s. Smoker. I went after it and by the time I got to into the 14 pull ups in the first round there was nothing left to be able to string them together. Appeared we needed a different strategy. The strategy was to conserve as much energy and strength possible to be able to get through the 14s. Mission failed. Tried again Monday morning. Round of 10 was slow and conservative. Round of 12 tried to be slow and conservative, but again after the first set of 14 OHS, I didn't feel like I had enough to string together consecutive C2Bs so I went for singles. I finished them with about a minute to go. I tried to string together as many OHS as possible. Got to 8. Had to drop. Picked up and did 2. Dropped. Picked it up and finished the last 2 to finish at 130 reps. I probably should have tried to do some amount of consecutive C2Bs in the first round to get myself to the last round of C2Bs, but oh well.
So a 600 place finish in 14.1 and a 798 finish in 14.2 leaves me at an overall place of 547. Interesting math, but it is what it is. Still leaves me in possible contention for top 200 but I'll have to pull out something special for these last 3 workouts. I am thinking the 798 finish will be my worst as we don't do a lot of pull ups and certainly not C2Bs. Hopefully these last 3 workouts will give me something to put up something big. If not, I suspect I'll stay at a respectable top 5-6% but certainly not at the top 1-2% they are looking for to make it to the qualifying rounds.
