We've got a really fun gymnastics and cardio pairing today with big volume on that midline and grip! Since there is no rest between each couplet we should try to find a sustainable pace out the gate and maintain or build on that as we get deeper into this one.

If you’re limited on bikes and need to manage a large class you can split athletes up into 2 groups and delay the start time, however it’s likely athletes will still end up having to wait on a bike with this format. Another option would be to add in another machine (or run) and have athletes alternate which machines they use.

“If you know your opponent, but not yourself, you will lose 100% of the time.” – Samurai Proverb
To “keep up with the Jones” is an old expression about competitive neighbors. A power struggle - or perhaps better said popularity struggle - of status on the block. To “keep up”, one must be on top of their investigative game, predicting the next big move so they can outmatch. That may be a nicer lawn or a fancier family Christmas card.
As we visualize these friendly rivals battling it out on the block, it’s safe to say that both sides... will lose. There won’t be a winner there.
We can study our competition to great length. And, we will indeed learn some absolutely beneficial statistics. But all the external statistics in the world won’t move us forward until we turn the investigative glasses to: ourselves.
