STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: SPRINT! This is the finale, so be ready to hurt. You will attack from start to finish with the mindset that you are not stopping, no matter what.
How it should Feel: GASSY into LACTIC ACID PARTY! Till the wheels fall off, get that tattooed on your arm so you don’t forget.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Bike: SPRINT!!! 90-95% effort is what we want. Only slow down the final 2-3 calories to somewhat breathe before the rings. Sub 60-seconds would be fast!
Kipping Ring Muscle Up: If you know you can’t do it unbroken, break it into aggressive quick sets. If you can go unbroken, don’t even think about breaking, no matter how bad it hurts.
Dumbbell Walking Lunges: I don’t know how else to say this: those dumbbells are babies, and if you drop them, then they fall into a crocodile pit. Don’t let that be on your conscience for the rest of your life.

Mobility and Maintenance: Choose 1-2 Thoracic Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them. Choose 1-2 Upper Extremity Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them. Choose 2-3 Lower Extremity Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 10-12 minutes with them.

Nutrition Preparation: Ensure that you have quality foods prepared in the appropriate quantities to fuel your efforts for the remainder of the week.

Mental Restoration: Different for everyone – could be quiet time, prayer or meditation or could be gathering with friends; the key is to engage in activities that make your life full and help you recharge your batteries.
