There are sure to be plenty of Mind Games during this challenge. Focusing on the moment and your form rather than the Mathematics of what is left to do a challenge in and of itself! Good Luck and DON’T QUIT.

Stop the watch, write down your time and then do it again. This is only your half way point.

Take a 3-4 minute rest, drink enough water to quench, no more, shore up your mind set your timer and beat your first time!

My scores: Round 1: 23:36 Round 2: 19:39.

The difference in times for me were mental as well as physical. By the second round I knew it was possible to do it, and I wasn’t going to stop because I was not happy with the first round time. I knew I could do better! (I tend to step with more care when warming up due to a knee injury that persists until its totally warm). Regardless, I was STOKED on the fact that I blasted my first time in spite of the hellish burn. My bit of advice is focus hard on your breathing and your form. I can  say without a shadow of a doubt that each rep was as mindful and focused on form as possible and that is what gave me the capability to finish strong.
