I was anxious about the Open workout from the second I read what it was.  Like everyone else, I'm sure.  I have a poor history with CTB.  I got all this done today since I was off work and wanted it off my mind.  Super proud as it turns out at how far I got.  I was trying not to get to 'blown' on the thrusters and to use mostly legs/hip pop to save my arms.  I executed that well.  And then  it was all about picking a pace on the ctb that kept me going but didn't get to failure.  It hurt.  Didn't tear my hands which was nice.  Once again, motivated to be better at ctb.  Swimming after felt great.  That was a good hour in the pool, all good, feeling more and more comfortable.  Thanks!
