On a separate note... I have a friend who had the pleasure of knowing Brian. I told him we were doing this workout and this is what he said:

"The funny thing is that Brian's idea of a good workout was walking down to the local Krispy Creme for a baker's dozen."

So if you want the RX+ today, eat a donut in honor of Brian. I'd do it right at the end of the third round. I wish I had read the email before I worked out!

Have fun with it. It sucked but when I thought about how bad it was I felt really lucky to be alive.

Tidmore said...

Tim P. since you are so fast up the rope I think an Rx+ is in order.

Check this guy out-

I know I am probably going to be made fun of for this one.. but My feet hurt when I do rope climbs, does anyone strategically pick the type of shoe they wear for rope climps.. like a more sturdy one? Or do a different spot to put the foot that holds the rope in place, I don't know most of my slowness is because how much pain my feet are in and obviously still need techinique.. but ya know

Mike P said...

Holy crap! That was awesomely awful . . . I'm clearly doing something wrong on rope climbs, b/c on the 13th one, my arms pretty much said "go screw" - and that was the end.

Can't wait to tackle this one again.
