2,500m BikeErg
35m Sled Push (450#)
This was murder. The sled push, specifically.
I had 450# on it – 360# in plates (8 x 45#), and then the sled weighs somewhere between 80-100#. But, of course, everything comes down to the contact patch and the floor surface, so the weights of sleds are really hard to equate. What is hard on one surface and one sled, would be much easier or harder if either were swapped for something else.
Anyway, the sled push was very difficult. I want to say it took me about 30 seconds each way, and it just wiped me out. I was resting at least 30 seconds before starting the second push each round, and then getting back on the bike was the absolute worst feeling. My legs were jelly.
I was really proud that I hadn’t stopped the sled once in eight pushes (four down, four back). And then, literally 10-feet before the end, on the last push, something happened and the sled just seized up and stopped moving. I thought I had just literally run out of gas at that point, but there was a suspicious skid mark on the floor which makes me think something happened – it slipped off its caster, or something. (See my prior point about the sled and the surface playing very heavily into the effective effort.)
Rough, rough workout. I was a mess when I left the gym.
