The big surprise this evening after the WOD was that I checked my records and discovered that this is the first time I've attempted Isabel as rx'd. A few of observations:

- I'm sure helping everyone throughout the day work on their technique helped me some when it was my turn.

- I used the thicker bumpers and just dropped the weight after each rep to conserve strength (instead of controlled lowering each rep). They bounce considerably more than the thinner bumpers and I used a few seconds each rep to get the bar to stop bouncing and settled. Next time I will use the thinner bumpers for less bounce and possibly try to control some of the descents for a quicker turn-around time. We'll have to see.

- I wasn't as winded as with Grace, but then it took me almost twice as long, meaning I had a lot more rest breaks. I'll see about trying to trim that down next time, but I have no illusions I'll get anywhere close to Grace.

- Overall happy with this first rx'd attempt. Sub 7:00 next time!
