What an evil, evil WOD that sneaked up on me today… 

5 RDS 

400m run, 20 deadlift, 20 push-ups, 10 deadlift, 10 push-ups

Rx for deadlift was some unthinkable number like 140 lbs or something along that line, I did 55 lbs… probably could’ve done more but glad I didn’t.

Round 1, 2, 3 - felt fine… even ran a little faster.

Then… round 4 came around and it just hit me.  Arms are shot… can’t do another push-up.  I started “snaking it up” aka peeling myself off the floor in three slow moves as opposed to one quick, continuous lift.

Whenever I do WOD’s that involve push-ups, I’m always reminded of Mandy from FCF!  Crazy girl would do 100+ REAL push-ups without complaining, not the scaled-down version… *major envy* :-)  One day…

In the mean time, can someone do something about this 90-degree weather?  The walk home kills me…
