Almost Go Time!

So, HQ has released 4 workouts for the Masters to complete at the Games this weekend. I must say, these were the kind of workouts I was anticipating last year. So. I'm glad they have made their way to the Games this year. There's skill based, strength based and metabolic conditioning based workouts in the mix. I smiled when I saw them.
I know the competition is going to be very stiff, as I got a glimpse of what it was going to be during the Open competition. The scoring system has changed somewhat. It hasn't changed the approach you have to take in performing well over the weekend. Where as last year, I didn't want to score any big numbers. I want to stay 85 points or higher all weekend long. You don't have to win every event to do well. You just have to stay near the top on a consistent basis.
So, knowing the workouts, and the competition, the weekend plays itself out as 3 work capacity workouts with 1 skill/strength workout. The preparation has been done. My coach, Nathan Holiday, has done a remarkable job programming my workouts. This blog is evidence of his talents. All that's left is execution. And that is key.
