You finish a workout and immediately think, “I can do better than that.” Okay, but where? Faster transitions? Different sets? Did you actually pace it poorly, or did it just hurt? This week we're digging into the art of retesting workouts, from benchmarks you haven't touched in years to phase retests and the quick turnaround of an Open workout or online qualifier.
