"gaucoin"
6 sets for largest rest time:
Power Clean x 2
Push Jerk x 2
Squat Clean x 2
Row 350 m
(weight used is 155# for males, 100# for females; your watch is set on a 2 min 30 sec countdown timer for each round; the rest left over after each round is your total score; i.e. start the timer as soon as you start your 1st power clean, whats left after the row is your rest and your score for round 1...repeat; if you fail to make the 2:30 cut off in one round, finish the round, but minus those sec to your total rest time at end)

How many DU's would be comparable to 350m row? Or any other suggestions for a good sub? (hopefully something without equip as theres none near the lift platform)
Thanks
jon, DU's don't compare...i'll allow Mr Aucoin to choose your modality...Geoff?
So just curious....hw exactly was this last comp scored?
Well I'd go with a run for a sub, and because I'm a far better rower than runner I guess a 400m run would do the job.
I've got a question; how the heck did my name get associated with this WOD? You'd think something named 'gaucoin' would involve wall balls, rowing and then maybe wearing really tight clothes.
Hello everyone, I'm a new to the blog. My names Alec Wipperman I am a 20 yr. old attending Florida Gulf Coast University with a Human Performance degree in the process. I met OPT at the Big Dawg Challenge in Naples were I currently live. I heard great things about the OPT blog and the programming that goes with it. Can't wait to start meeting all the people who follow this blog as well. Let the fun begin! :)
This is epic and Aucoin didn't even know it! It's going to be my last grinder before Saturdays local all affiliate Pilgrim Wars challenge.
Question:
I´m competing sat 27th. It´s a uphill race 3.5 km with 14% incline all the way. Calfs will probably burn...forever.
I´ve been planning to mimic the 2 weeks before comp 25th sept and 13th nov (7-9 sessions this week and tapering next week) and put in a few hillruns, use little weight and also try and loose some bw (nothing crazy, but stop eating like a horse/bear).
Does anybody have any advice of how to plan the coming 10 days considering food and training?
281 secs
215 seconds rest.
I will be modifying training for the next 10 days as I am running a 12 mile tough mudder event on the 21st and will need a bit of tapering leading to and a bit of recovery following.
bear, go back and find a comp later in spring or early fall years ago as there might be some peak running in there...hill running for a bigger guy is calf flexibility and hip flexor endurance...and learning how to use the arms uphill will take some practice...
some workouts from my hill racing years vault...
1.
2 min up high grade @ race pace (just under lactate threshold), run past crest and run down slowly focusing on recovery and breathing x 6-10
2.
2-4 hour constant incline hike/climb @ 75% MHR once per week in the foothills
3.
30 sec sprints uphill with spring and high knees; walk down full recovery x 8-15 (used 20# pack with this a few times improperly actually and suffered from it - i can actually remember the set where i knew i had tipped over into overtraining, the successive race blew)
4.
russian step ups and more russian step ups (that's not a lie but also to welcome Alec - pasety russian - love it!)
anon, scoring was done precisely before but would take me 3 days full to look at vids and rank folks...i just could not do it after we had 100 entries last year and it took me 2 weeks to score...so this is a comment but also a note to ask if there is anyone interested in doing the data, i'm cool with that
the scoring would have been placing based for this one...
the main idea of the comps is to fine tune the engine, see where things are based on getting something you might not have prepared for...and see where you stand, one can do that by looking through the scores
hope that helps fix that
49, 40, 37, 33, 32, 13 (had to fix bar, no clips and on the 2nd power clean i pulled too much with my right side)

Hey coach I have following your workouts for two weeks now. I have a competition on December 11th should I keep follow the most recent workouts or is there something else I should follow?
I've been having some hamstring issues the last couple days so taking a little bit of time off to deal with it.
Also getting some ink down tomorrow so will have to let that heal up before getting back into it.

anon, give me your details on the comp and i'll tell you what might help..thx
steve howell, ensure there is a hidden letters "BD" in there some where in the ink
Did some russian step ups today, then some more step ups. Also a few C&J with a strongman "log". Felt funny.

It said the workouts will be hitting all three energy pathways and all 10 general physical skills. The site is at Dallas Community School, the facilities will include a gymnasium, 4 soccer fields and a 10 acre field in the back with a running trail.
Got my brand new pair of Risto's in the mail today. STOKED! Can't wait to hit this WOD tonight.
Kyle, comment on how you like them. I was thinking of upgrading my oly shoes soon.

I would classify that as a little TMI but thanks for sharing ;o)

Barbell complex felt great...rows were tough the last 150m.

anon, how many energy pathways are there?
Three. Phospagen, glycolytic and oxidative.
Winter has arrived with a vengance Going to add some strength conjugate training to my routine for a bit so will be modifying for awhile.
Today did ME strict press with chains - that was fun 85# plus 20# chain. Plus some accessory exercises.
Will hit todays wod tomorrow.

321 sec rest.
Great workout, felt solid at 155, but hit a mental wall on the last set. Couldn't force myself to get the squat cleans after the push jerks without letting go and taking a few breaths. Rowing was very labored, but I tried to smash through to maximize rest time (aka stumbling around gasping for breath).
Great workout!

Bar work OK but last 100m on row each round was all mental. Rest period each round spent resetting rower to 350m. That was a task!
:33, :30:27,:27, :15,:3
about 2 min. rest.
120 sec.
first day back as rx'd after a few weeks away.
134s
the row was strong but the sqt clean killed my time.
R1: 27s
R2: 20s
R3:-5s
R4:-15s
R5:-30
-3sec rest.
This smoked me..the rowing really slowed me down. I did the cleans and jerks within less than 30s then the row would take me to just over 2min. my transitions were slow and I took too long rest in between which made made me go over the 2:30 time frame.
Great WOD!
1):51
2):42
3):43
4):41
5):39
6):34
total: 250 sec
notes: pc/pj/sq.c felt good. rounds 4-6 on the rower were rough.
Also, nice work to all dawgs who competed this past weekend. I tried hard to make it happen, but my schedule really wouldn't allow it. Very disappointed I couldn't participate, but look forward to the next one.

@ David X
I'll give you a full report after I've used them... which should be quite a while now. I followed the "Follow This and It's Guaranteed to Fit" shoe sizing chart to a "T" and they are too small. The size I need is out of stock so I'll have to wait.
Totally Bummed.
Total Rest: 256
As for the style though they are OK. Not at all flashy, but I like that about them. I got the black/brown shoe (thought it was going to be black/silver). There are two shades of brown which is weird but they look well made.
