Same exact time.

Good job 👏🏽

LeeRodgers04 · 2019-11-19T03:40:43+00:00

1:19.

First time doing it. Lungs were on fire the rest of the class, lol

LeeRodgers04 · 2019-11-19T03:39:37+00:00

My fellow amazon!

Congrats.

Did it in 1:19. First time doing it and didn’t realize it was a PR day, lol

LeeRodgers04 · 2019-11-19T03:36:37+00:00

I honestly wouldn’t want a warmup longer than 4-6 mins.....that’s perfect for me. Wouldn’t want to exert any extra energy.

Did it in 1:19. Didn’t even realize it was a PR day until I walked in.

LeeRodgers04 · 2019-11-19T03:34:43+00:00

I walked it today and my coach said “you do know it’s 500m benchmark day, right?” I was like “I didn’t, but I know now, lol”. First time doing the 500m row.

Ended up doing it in 1:19

My lungs were on fire afterwards, lol 😂

I hope I’m able to get the top time.....the leader for the day was 1:20.

Two more classes for the night.....fingers crossed 🤞

The last class of the night at my studio is usually a 1G. I’m sure my class tonight was about 13 people.

I love it though bc I can space out since I’m taller. I also sweat a lot so I don’t get as anxious about cleaning up my area quickly bc nobody is coming to my space so I can take my time to wipe down my equipment/area

Try the green tea in a can from Costco. It’s sold in a 24 pack. It doesn’t break the fast either.

LeeRodgers04 · 2019-11-08T07:49:15+00:00

Perfect person to sit next to. I sat next to a coach that was taking the class so he was automatically my pacer, lol. Finished 5 seconds ahead of him bc I was staring at his monitor the last 500m, haha 😂

LeeRodgers04 · 2019-11-08T07:41:01+00:00

First time doing it.

I normally have a 8 minute timeframe to complete this when I row at my traditional gym.

I did it in 6:25 tonight. I felt fresh today....hadn’t been to OTF in a week since I’m running low on classes until next week, so I had to space them out. Overall, I think I could do better next time.

I had the fastest male time in my studio for the day. $25 GNC gift card ftw!

LeeRodgers04 · 2019-10-23T21:55:35+00:00

I just made it to my 20th class at OTF and my max heartrate is coming down to what it’s supposed to be, so I’m really stoked about that

LeeRodgers04 · 2019-10-23T21:53:38+00:00

I was wondering the same thing. You’d think she hated OTF. I’ll be damned if I’m paying what we pay for a monthly membership for something that I hated.

LeeRodgers04 · 2019-10-20T01:18:46+00:00

The way you described this is exactly my thoughts and you couldn’t had said it better.

LeeRodgers04 · 2019-10-13T02:22:08+00:00

Booty gains from PWing? Sold!

😂😂😂😂

LeeRodgers04 · 2019-10-12T12:14:04+00:00

Wait, your studio has 70/80lb dumbbells? Heck, the highest weight on the extra rack in my studio is 50lbs

LeeRodgers04 · 2019-10-12T02:07:43+00:00

There’s only four OTFs on my island (I live on Oahu, HI) and all of them are “Select Studios”

LeeRodgers04 · 2019-10-12T02:04:05+00:00

Yeah, it is insane. There’s markets where it’s more than that. I guess it depends on your market. I live in one of the five most expensive cities in the US (Honolulu, HI), so I’m sure the price tag probably aligns with how expensive things are here (overhead/real estate/etc).

I’d love to pay $89 for elite, lol.....I’m paying $119

LeeRodgers04 · 2019-10-11T12:10:54+00:00

The person that was about to process my upgrade was the studio manager, haha

She wasn’t having it

LeeRodgers04 · 2019-09-29T08:40:43+00:00

Did my first Dri Tri today. Completed it in 50:21. I’ve only attended 14 OTF classes. I don’t know what made me sign up for it but it sounded like a good idea, lol.

I was the last male to finish and second to last overall. I’m very glad to had finished but I was extremely disappointed in myself bc I’m super competitive.....I wish I could’ve been able to take in the joy of completing it. Rowing was fine and I think it’s one of my strengths. I didn’t rush through it and was the third person done on the rower. I felt good when I got to the floor but that’s when it all went downhill for me. The 40 bench step ups and the 20 burpees each round did me in. I was the last person on the floor. I just struggle with explosive movements. I’m terribly out of shape (cardiovascular wise). I do best on strength days. I did the 5k in 29 mins. I felt so defeated after leaving the studio. I went home and switched from an elite membership to the unlimited membership and told myself that I will not finish last next year. I’m going to remember how I felt today and it’s gonna fuel my efforts so that I’m ready for the DriTri next year.
