Skill and Speed

In today's WOD you will notice that the rope climb is placed before the actual conditioning part of the day.  Skill over speed is what we are aiming for.  Typically on "rope climb day", coach goes over the finer points of the rope climb as well as the different techniques.  All the athletes take to the rope and give it try.  Some get it, some don't.  As soon as the clock beeps and the workout starts, those that are less skilled climbing the rope are forced to modify the workout just so they don't hold up other athletes.  It's pretty hard to learn to climb a rope in the middle of a metcon when you have someone breathing down your neck trying to get back on.  Take your time with the rope climbs today.  Learn to get comfortable hanging on the rope and using your legs to stand up.  If you already know how to climb it, great!  Now learn to climb it quicker and more efficiently so the rest of us can get on!  jk....
