5 Hang squat cleans -50# dumbells
5 Burpees
I had originally intended to use 45# dumbells, but nearly all of the rx'd men's times had 50# next to their names, so 50s it had to be. The best time on the board was 7:39, which was a bit longer than the 5-6 minutes I'd had in mind when I programmed the WOD. I tried to keep a steady, moderate pace (which is a new approach for me) and never really slowed down. This was rough on the legs and lungs, but the rep scheme was such that it wasn't impossible to push through. I pushed hard on the last two sets of burpees and finished in 6:12. Good WOD. Really tough. I laid on the floor for a good while letting my throat bleed before peeling my ass of the mat. Darnedest thing, on the drive home (roughly 30 minutes post-WOD) I experienced a profound sense of euphoria, for a good 15 minutes. Runner's high? I dunno. Gonna have to research it. Weird.
