14:17 Two polar opposites crossed paths to form a strange relationship on the open road of possibilities, one that was predicted to manifest itself in a rough start and even worse finish. There is no middle ground between the jack hammer and the micrometer. The ability to speed shift between the two opposite gears is the best strategy for managing the torment of compounding fatigue. Spend too much time in neutral and get fined. The highway is full of freewheelers and freeloaders. Don't be one. There is no mystery to this ensemble. One look at the map and it is clearly a MU work out. When have dead lifts ever been rest? In this case they were, although brief. There is no way around the check points. You're gonna get stopped. The only thing you can control is for how long. The more you burn out on muscle ups the longer you'll be waiting. The best way to approach this task (unless you are a muscle up expert and string them together like congress does with pork) is to treat a muscle up like a body weight snatch or something similar in skill and complexity. Under the fatigue of dead lifts the power meter will be running at half speed. In this case, all the subtle nuances that work together in the execution of the complex movements must be present and pulling their weight, literally. I was only able to string 4 or 5 together and after missing one I backed off and employed the double and single technique while minimizing rest. I'm not sure if this is true but it seemed easier/faster to do single muscle ups with minimal rest than to string them together. The most daunting issue here is rest control. Minimal rest will win BUT missing too many muscle ups will lose.

ReplyDeleteHowever, Bou did the job in 22:29. The mu's really became the focus of it all.
