Today was 20.2… a slow long grinder. 20 minutes with three movements – 4 dumbbell thrusters, 6 toes to bars, and 24 double unders. The score sheet thought 30 rounds was do-able. Solcana’s scaled version was a little heavier than the official so I ended up using 25# dumbbells, did hanging knee raises, and single unders. I appreciated that there wasn’t a penalty for single unders (usually the number gets doubled).

I ended up with 24 total rounds of this work in 20 minutes. I went out a little fast, but settled into a pace, the work felt quite repetitive but it was nice that everything was so short so you weren’t really getting bogged down finishing any one movement. The key in mind was to just keep moving and to not go too hard out of the gate. I was quite happy with my effort and was beat at the end!

I came home and rested for a little bit. Today was my “onboarding” session at LifeTime Fitness. We joined so that I could have a place to swim and also so we could have a place with childcare for the kids. Plus we get a sweet discount through work! The trainer I met with was cool and was asking a lot of questions about how 20.2 went, he was doing it later. LifeTime has a sweet area setup for HITT work similar to a CrossFit gym. He offered some nutrition advice and we did an InBody analysis. Basically this is a body composition analysis. My current weight is 202, 96lbs of skeletal muscle mass and 16.4% body fat. We talked about ways to increase muscle mass and decrease the body fat.

After our session I had some time to kill so I did an easy 5 miles on a bike and then rolled out my back and legs. It felt pretty good. Then the kids and I played in the pool for awhile. This particular gym only had a lap pool so we just played around in a lane.
