My results:  
WOD 1 = 145 reps
WOD 2 = 107 reps

Just reading this and dragging my butt out of bed was a monumental effort.  I should call that WOD 1 for the day.  I seriously couldn't wrap my mind around that many double unders or burpees.  I was low on energy today for some reason, and found myself doing a lot of gasping for air (bending over, staring at the floor, standing around, etc.)  during WOD 1.  The first 100 double unders took me exactly 3:59 and 10 burpees took me forever.  I think the fact that I'm sore from head to toe was the issue.  Ah, well, I showed up and participated, so that counts for something, right?


WOD 2 was a little better.  My dips started out pretty decent (for my standards anyway) and quickly went down to very little range of motion.  But it was a lot more fun than WOD1, by far.  I need to set a goal to learn pistols.  They seem more attainable than a muscle up, since I have way stronger legs than I do arms.

Strength today was 3 sets of 20 Overhead Dumbbell Walking Lunges
My loads:  15-15-20

Tough morning!
