I was actually writing yesterday’s blog having not yet done 20.2, and so had no idea what I was actually talking about…ish!
Guess what, it sucked and…left its mark. Embarrassingly so when attempting to walk a dog in public, the little bugger dragging me off my feet and causing excessive plantar flexion (link) and a strange facial expression. Wuoldn’t it be wonderful if everyone just understood, without even having to say the words twenty point two. They just saw the pain in your face, your uneasy gait and didn’t look twice when you were walking backwards down the stairs.
Instead they ask…”are you ok?” “What have you done?” The next 5 minutes is more awkward than the build up, trying to fine a way to explain what CrossFit is; a double under'; dumbbell thruster and toes to bar.
Forget it. Just respond with…”what are you doing tomorrow night at 5:30?”

Okay, now pay attention, as I shall say this only once…
With a continuously running clock:
00:00 - 03:00: Max distance handstand walk (5m blocks)
03:00 - 13:00: Set a 2 Rep Max Deadlift
13:00 - 18:00: Rest
18:00 - 26:00
For this 8 minute period, complete as many rounds and reps as possible of:
1/3 of the distance completed in the handstand walk
8 Deadlift (@50% of above)
E.g. if an athlete completes 12 lengths of the HSW they perform 4 in the AMRAP. If they deadlift 120kg for a double, they do 60 for 8.
If you can figure out what to write up on the whiteboard, go nuts…
