The Mill: Well tomorrow will be the whole WOD for time so it should get interesting. Today I sat down on the rower kind of stretched, kind of loose, and kind of focused. Not a good combination for this WOD or any WOD for that matter. There are too many movements to be "kind of focused" and still have a successful/productive workout. So, I stood back up and continued to stretch trying to transfer my focus from the muted Saved By The Bell episode to my workout. It was harder than I thought. Sometimes early morning workouts make me zone out while stretching and preparing. I repeated over and over during the warm up that it's only a 6 minute WOD. It's a suck filled WOD, but nonetheless it's only 6 minutes. Unlike EVA which I finished in 53:37. That sucked, too. So 6 minutes isn't that bad. I decided, since it was right in front of me, to use the TV as a focal point during the rowing. I concentrated on rowing, but I wasn't just staring at the clock throughout the workout. It's was non stop and I had a game plan to double my score from the 3 minute WOD. I felt pretty good throughout the workout outside of the Toes 2 Bar. But I got through them. I broke the sets/reps into fives so I wasn't counting straight through to 20 which helped for the T2B. I fell one short of my workout goal, but not too bad.
Make It Happen!!
