Tonight was the pretest for Jackie. It was hard, but didn’t take as long as I thought it might.

As a refresher Jackie is 1000m row, 50 thrusters at 45#, and 30 pullups for time. We did a nice long warmup and then setup for the workout. Hannah challenged us to break up the thrusters into 25-15-10. And to take it a little easier on the row so we’d not be completely gassed.

I was the first off the rower in something like 3:45. I went for the Rx with the 45# barbell for thrusters and made the first set of 25 as Hannah suggested. After a break I was able to get 10 more and then another set of 10 and finished with a set of 5. I just really needed to set the bar down to give my shoulders a break. My legs actually felt ok during the Thrusters.  Done with that I hit the rig for pullups.

I’m usually good for several rounds of 3 at a time. So I was quite pleased with getting two rounds of 4 in before doing a few rounds of 3 and ending with 5 sets of 2. Pullups will definitely be an area that small improvements can go a long way.

My overall time was 13:45.
