"So, how did that feel?"

"Like a fight gone bad!"

WOD
FGB  Three rounds of:
Wall-ball, 20/14 pound ball, 10 ft target (Reps)
Sumo deadlift high-pull, 75/55 pounds (Reps)
Box Jump, 20″ box (Reps)
Push-press, 75/55 pounds (Reps)
Row (Calories)
Rest 1 minute
RESULTS
Rx'd. 201


ANALYSIS
Figuring that its the first time I have done FGB and having just walked off about 4 hours sleep after a cross country flight - I'll take it!  I went in wanting to break 300 but after having my ass handed to me (literally, since the day before I scarfed on at least 3 doughnuts and a cuban!), I was pleased with 201.  I thought I rocked every movement EXCEPT the box jumps. I just couldn't cycle through and after the first round was getting about 12.  Also, I started with ROW. Probably not the best idea, but we had a full house so we had to stagger.  I didn't realize that row was supposed to be the rest (according to Christy, no matter how hard you row its not enough time to do damage on points, but enough to kill your lung capacity - row light and make up reps faster during the other movements).  So I blew my first row bringing in 34 calories - yeah, should have been more like 12-15.  


This WOD was the kick-off to the spring paleo challenge so I will be doing it again in 50 days. Looking fwd to seeing a difference in score, especially since I am not travelling in between then and now and will actually have some consistency (ie. at least 4 days/week) in getting to the gym.  Also, not participating (ie. paying) formally in paleo challenge, but am trying to do a 50 day cleanse.  Sooo, we'll see how that goes - oh, and exceptions when baking for OOB, like tonight.  I am making fig newtons!
