WOD: 100 burpees 8:21. Did the first 50 unbroken with a good pace going then it went downhill after that. Started breaking them up, but that's ok...now I know between 50 and 80 I struggled. Drew, Rich, and Rose..you did great!
Cashout was awesome! Patrick, Mike, and Devin great team work:)

Gotta put my money on Froning, but will be pulling for Dan Bailey

I was in the same boat with justin o. really expected to only do 1 burpee today. But i did all 100 of them and ended up at 7:36. Which was faster than i expected. Hopefully i will improve over the next 100 days

Steve C said...

Did advanced, 10 rds + 10.

I'm doing one burpee today. Maybe I'll do 100 at some point this weekend.

Nick, I was wondering why you left out the ladies... nice call Justin!
