Creative Destruction

I forgot to add an important detail to that last post.

This morning I got my first double-under! No linking together or anything like that, but it is a start. Now I can actually do double-under WODs as rx’d. It might take me forever, but I can do them.

Interesting is that this morning David suggested that rather than doing a couple singles before trying the double, just go right into a double on the first jump. It worked! That technique may make the linking harder, but I think it will be better for me to understanding the timing. What’s important is that I start the jump right before the rope goes under my feet the first time. Also, continue both rounds of the rope at high speed. I have traditionally been starting my jump too early, I think, and the second time around with the rope has been a little slower.

In any event, I can do doubles now!
