#26point1

I redid 26.1 on Monday with the intent of taking a few more risks and trying to give myself more time to finish the second set of 40 wall balls. I did! give myself more time - I got about 45-50 extra seconds, which meant I made another 17 wall balls, and finished with a score of 264 reps. which I'm extremely happy with. that put me comfortably in the top 10% in the region, which is huge for me on a workout that was not typically something I would do well at.

and then on Friday I did 26.2 which was

with a 15 kg dumbbell. I was pretty happy about this - my ring muscle ups are not pretty but they are consistent and serviceable. I knew I wasn't going to finish - I don't have 20 RMUs in me at the moment - but I knew I was going to get through the first parts pretty comfortably and give myself at least 10 min to get some muscle ups. I told everyone I wanted 10 haha, and I got them in 5 sets of 2! which, honestly, I only got because a) I've had ring muscle ups in various states of quality for nearly 10 years, and b) I'm very strong. I haven't done one in months, but I can kind of trust I have a handful in the bank at any time. so that's bumped me up the leaderboard a fait bit, as expected. at the moment I'm within to top 200 in the region, but I'm expecting that to drop a little as people redo, but I feel pretty confident that I'll stay in the top 10%. no need for me to repeat this one, I'm not going to magically find any more muscle ups in the next 12 hours haha.

I went effectively unbroken on the lunges and snatches (only put the DB down to change hands on the lunges but didn't really stop moving). I went 8-6-6 on the pullups and 6-5-5-4 on the chest to bar pull ups, and I think that was perfect for me.

I only need to be in the top 25% in the region to make it to quarter finals, but I've been in the top 10% every year since 2017, so I'd really like to keep my streak! this year is looking very consistent - usually I have an event where I place in the 80-85th percentile, and that's usually the grunt work event, but this year the grunt work one went quite well for me!

I did 26.1 this morning which was

so EXTREMELY leggy. I was a bit nervous about it but felt like I had a pretty good plan to break up the wall balls. ended up with 247 reps, which was 19 wall balls into the second round of 40.
