Notes:
The workout is “won” today on transitions and on the bike. It isn’t about how fast the lunges or deadlifts are, rather how fast athletes can get to the next movement. Rather than walking or chalking up, running to the bar and bike gains back a lot of time on each interval without much added effort. The deadlifts do not have to be unbroken, but the urgency between sets and the urgency to get to the bike has to be high. Once at the bike, effort is rewarded with an exponential caloric return. The harder you go on the bike, the better the score and the longer the rest.
OPEN GYM (optional):
