Last night was just what I needed - a classic run through one of my faves - "Nancy". A workout that incorporates one of my favorite lifts, Overhead Squats, along with one of my least favorite tasks - the 400m run. A little good with a little not-so-good, but hey, that's CrossFit for ya.

To make it interesting,
Coach KT
programmed this workout as a partner workout, which went like this...
Workout of the Day: "Nancy" with a partner
5 Rounds for time
- 400 meter run
- 15 x overhead squat (115lbs for Rx+)
The difference is that both partners do all the work as programmed with the exception only 1 person can be lifting at a time, and the run needs to be done together. This is great as you can have a bit of a break between lifting and running (well at least one partner does).
Rhino and me were paired up for this workout and I'm very happy to say we had a
solid time of 19:59. Fantastic! We might have been a little slower on our runs but we managed to do all the Overhead Squats unbroken.
... what's on your WOD books for today?
