a crossfit surprise is never a good thing

Today we were offered a choice: test for max on the snatch, or a "christmas surprise." Vanessa claimed the torture we had witnessed before class was not identical to our surprise so we decided to take our chances. If only we knew what a liar she was...

The WOD seemed easy:

100 meter row
50-ish yard sprint with resistance bands
10 then 9 then 8...etc burpees

Oh those awful resistance band sprints. It was like running in a dream state...your legs and arms are moving as fast as they can and yet you are going nowhere. I thought I was going to throw up multiple times.


it looks easy in picture form...
It took us around 40 minutes to complete the workout switching off between partners (one would run while the other would hold the resistance band).

Alex rated it up there as one of the top three hardest WODs to date falling behind the "filthy fifties" and the two mile run...or maybe Karen (150 wall balls). I'm not sure if I would rate it that high but I do know that nothing could ever ever beat the crazy filthy fifties.

Oh and last week I PR'd on my deadlift! 160lbs, baby! It would be SO cool to break 200.
