Five rounds for time of:
45 pound barbell Overhead walking lunges, 50 feet
21 Burpees
Let trailing knee gently kiss the ground on each lunge.
Time-9:53
Kris Clever's time was 8:55 so I was obviously looking to do better. That little Asian dude is just quicker than me on this one. I have been ticked at myself when he has better times in the past because I am so close and I think there is some place where I could have done better, but that is not the case with this WOD. I am glad his time was posted because I probably would have been in double digits if I weren't chasing him. On a good note, I did the entire thing as RXed and unbroken without cutting any corners. I just have to get faster at burpees. When I am tired I get down to my chest slow with one foot staying on the floor in a lunge position until my hands are planted, then I drop. I am going to have to push through and throw myself on the ground like hit-its in wrestling practice to get as fast as I need to be on WODs with burpees.
After talking with Clayton I realized I did this one before with him. I think it was my first WOD ever. I did not blog back then but he did. He did it in 14:58 and he said I was about a minute faster than he was back then. Again, mixed feelings. Happy to be four minutes faster but not so happy that I used to be a minute faster than Clayton and now he is two minutes faster than me. Clayton I am proud and amazed of your accomplishments. Hats of to you.
