So the challenge is finally finished. I pushed hard all the way and romped home in a time of 18 minutes 25 seconds, more than half my original time just one week ago.
I knew that to beat yesterday’s time, I had to improve my floor wipers. For some reason, they were not too difficult today. I guess because my abs aren’t nearly as sore as they have been. I also made it through the box jumps without a rest, which all adds up.
Surely I'm not the only one who wants to look like this?
I think I figured out why my elbows were so sore: towards the end of the last set of pullups, I’ve been hyper-extending my elbows at the bottom of the lift, then trying to throw myself back up (no feet on the floor, but kicking my legs for momentum). Is this cheating? I think as long as your feet don’t touch the floor, it’s not cheating. I know that I could have rested for ages and still not been able to pull myself up right even for one at the end. The first set of pullups was fine every day – no problems getting through them with strict form. It was only the last set, after I was exhausted.
It’s good to have completed the challenge and I may do it again some time, but for now, I just need to rest 
I feel like you do when you’ve just played a really hard soccer game in the heat and even though you won, you just don’t care – your body just wants to go slow for a change. I’ll do a proper post on what I learned from doing this challenge, but with all the Easter services starting in a few hours, I’m not sure when I’ll be able to do it. Hopefully Saturday.
