This was an interesting workout.  It was originally designed as just an Echo Bike, but modified for the class size.

Bike - 26-19-13
Row - 24-13-5
Run - 22-12-6

I was pleased with 140 reps.  I really pushed the pace on the Bike and felt good about those volumes.  I was able to hold my pace substantially on the runs, but dropped off on the last 30 second row.  At least I know where I am at.

55-60 cruising pace on Echo Bike
60-65 hard pace, sustainable for a 1-2 minutes
65+ sprint, sustainable for 30 seconds

New Jump-N-Rope

I ended up making the drive to Louisville to get a new jump rope.  My Jump-N-Rope 1.5 has served me well.  I worked with Dylan and he recommended 2.5 rope with long handles.  I took a few swings and it felt pretty good. I was very happy to Venmo him $25 for the rope with a free mesh bag.  He even gave me a length of 1.5 if I struggle to adjust to the 2.5.  Very happy to support local small business and Jump-N-Rope is one of the best.
