Gotta start off with an apology. I didn’t fully communicate that this workout would likely run over. Quick math is under the best conditions that was going to take 38 minutes of Thang alone (not counting disclaimer, warm-up, coupon handling, instructions, repeating instructions, clarifying instructions, discussing form to then amend the instructions). Because that wasn’t communicated – at least at Disclaimer and probably best in a Pre-Blast – today’s workout did not meet the RS standard of timeliness (“Recover, Recover” +/- 30 seconds of 0615) and for that I offer up my self-flagellation here in this back blast. Accept my offering.

For anybody stealing this backblast in the future – some hard lessons learned:

• Use a 2-stage timer if you got it or one of the Pax has it (something that can do 8 minute time, then 2 minute time). YHC only had one stage and the Iron Pax direction was clear about the 2 minute (no more, no less) rest period
• This workout is not appropriate for a 45 min plan. Adjust as necessary. It is, though, perfect for a 1 hour AO…which is what Rolling Stone became today.

Proverbs 19:21 – Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.
