Row, skip and burp… oh my!

Today I did the Crossfit.com WOD (workout of the day) – it is a great, little grueling triplet comprised of rowing, skipping and burpies.  The workout seems innocent enough on paper, but once you get into it you quickly realize there’s a lot of thought that goes into the programming on the dot.com site.

The WOD as Rx’d (prescribed) is:

• 500m row,
• then 150 x Double Unders,
  
• followed up with 50 x Burpie-push-ups.

Record time to complete – voila!  Easy, peazie, right?  WRONG!  My time to complete was 11:08.  I need a lot of work on my double-unders as they took me over half of my workout time to complete.  The row on the other hand was good at 1:24 and the burpies, all things consdiered, weren’t that bad after everything else… I know if I can get my double-unders in check this WOD should be doable in about 7 to 8 minutes without much more effort.

Oh well, next time.  Give it a rip and post times to comments.
