I couldn't be happier to see the row event be judged by power ratio. What the power ratio does is benefit those who can generate a lot of power relative to their bodyweight...being relatively light, this makes me happy. This morning, I weighed in at 171 lbs. I won't be able to put up the top time, but I will be up there.
Workout 2 will be tough, considering it is only 5 minutes after the row, but my grip is much stronger now and my snatch technique and overhead squats have improved a lot in the past few months. Again, I won't be able to put up the best time, but I will be up there.
Workout 3 should be my best. This one is all about sustained enormous intensity for a short duration and rewards those who can transition their body very quickly through movement. I think I can get very close to putting up the top time for this.
Workout 4 is anyone's game. It is balanced, quick, and will require a tremendous amount of focus and heart in order to get one of the top times. It will be up to who really wants it more.
Overall, I feel my chances are very high at placing well with these workouts if I can bring the same focus with me as last time around. You don't have to win any of the workouts, you just have to do well in all 4 to win. I'm confident I can do well in all 4. Game on!
You're going to do awesome Colin!
