When I saw that this WOD was posted I almost took another rest day, but I thought to myself suck it up, go and get it done. The first round I got through everything reasonably quick in around 11 minutes, which well was reasonably quick for me. But come the third round I felt like I was dying, but I just ended up yelling at myself to just get through, Rob kept pushing me as well to just get through and saying I was getting close to the time limit and I replied there is going to be no DNF's in this class, and I ended up just powering home in just under the time limit in 42.52!
ReplyDeleteReally happy that was able to get this all done in the time that I did, it means I'm continually improving! I love it!!
