Cool Cruel Summer is Tomorrow Night!
Get ready, get set, and get pumped because tomorrow night is the June Edition of the Cool Cruel Summer.
Join us for the workout Angie starting at 4:30pm (doors open at 4:00pm for warm-up) and stay for drinks and dinner!
Don’t forget that Suerte Tequila will be on site mixing Paleo Margs for your post workout pleasure. And, ok, if you can’t make the workout but want to come by to cheer folks through a 100 pull-ups and sip on a Marg, you can do that too!
Is this your first Cool Cruel Summer? Awesome! Simply show up at 4:00pm or later, put yourself in a heat, warm-up and ask the coaches any questions you may have, and experience all that is summer at Roots!
See you there!
Hello, How long will the heats be for Angie tomorrow? I would like to do RX as I have in the past but if there is a short time cut off then I’m thinking maybe this WOD is better to do at open shop. Thanks!
Hi Molly, heats will be 20min but we have multiple clocks so it’s not a big deal if you go over the 20min mark. Just come in and get your wod on and we’ll take care of you!
what’s the best approach for retesting a benchmark?
1. Do it same rep scheme as last time and hopefully beat your time?
2. Add some reps and see if you can do it in the same time?
If you add a ton of reps it will obviously take longer even if you’ve improved, so how would that be a “retest?”
Maybe there are pros and cons to each approach? Blargh, I am probably overthinking this.
Regardless, looking forward to tackling Angie tomorrow!
Maggie, let’s chat when you get in tomorrow and we’ll figure out the best route. You’re right, there are a lot of different ways you could go about it, but it really comes down to your priorities. Do you want a true retest or do you want to push yourself harder? There is no wrong answer.
