@damj I was top 10% last year and barely got into the top 50% on this workout, and I’m about the same height and weight as you. You did just fine, it just wasn’t a good workout for us, and I hope they give us tall athletes a more favorable workout in the next couple of weeks!
@damj It’s your height. Do a simple power calc between what you had to do in 24.1 vs. someone even 4” shorter with the same theoretical time - just in the snatches. You’ll feel better. And when rowing is part of the WOD you’ll crush it.
@sarahcollins Power= Work/delta t: Work is an even simpler calculation W=force x distance. Taking time out of the equation you can see how much more work someone taller, with longer arms, will have to do.
@chrisss7 This is a very good point! I would like to add that a bigger person might also have a bigger "engine" (power output capacity), which might decrease the difference a bit
