For Time: Finished in 30:43
6 minute Hang Hold (cumulative)
Each time you drop from the bar, perform:
800 meter Run
30 Push-Ups
** With a running clock, athlete starts the workout by free-hanging by the hands only from a pull-up bar. If athlete drops from the pull-up bar before 6 minutes, take note of the time but do not stop the clock. Once the run and push-ups are complete, resume the hang hold. Repeat until cumulative hang hold time reaches 6 minutes. Score is the total time, including the time it takes to do all runs and push-ups.
This went a lot better than I thought it would!
My hang times were:
1:37
1:30
1:30
1:23
Average pace on runs - 8:48 - I just took those easy and enjoyed being outside :)
Two sets of push-ups unbroken - third set 20/10
