Epic WOD Saturday

Saturday 11-1-14

Ken sent over a  WOD from China for us to try. It was similar to another WOD we've done, but way harder.
It turns out this might be the longest and most challenging WOD I have ever done (except for maybe the 1st time I did Murph a week after starting CrossFit).

Ok, so started off pretty good the C & J went fine and Cindy is a quick and not too painful. Got through the first round in 7:28 RX.

Round two, I immediately felt the load from round one. I was so sweaty the rings were hard to hold hold and I was slipping on the HSPU. The KB felt great, it was only 8 reps, but it has never felt so light! 32:12 RX

The last round was tough... skills like pistols definitely fall apart when you have been going for such a long workout. I had many failed attempts but was able to get through them all, as slow as they may have been. 

I was able to connect all the HSPUs which was a nice surprise, I usually fade out on those and with all the jerks I was really pleased the get through 'em all. 

Finished in 57:10 RX

That was a great WOD, Im glad I did it, but I think the intensity was low it was such a long workout. My goal this week will be shorter WODs and keeping the intensity up!
