Fitness-4/27-"The Dirty South"

Monday WOD-"The Dirty South"

For Monday's wod, we did the final workout from the south's regional qualifier. Leading up to the qualifier, the region had been affectionately named the "Dirty South." Hence, the name of the workout .

"The Dirty South" was complete the following as fast as possible:

-1k row
-25 overhead squats, 135#
-100m run
-50 american kb swings, 24kg
-100m run
-25 burpees
-200m run

time=14:40


This was a fun workout and one of those you think's gonna be easy...until you're actually doing it. Talk about a rude awakening. I rowed right about a 3:15 1k, pretty legit. The overhead squats were heavy for that amount of reps but not too bad. Unfortunately, I didn't game plan ahead of time and cost myslef a lot of time on the squats with an extra drop or two. I ripped out 10 before I dumped the first time. But then instead of breaking the remaining reps into 2 or 3 sets, each decreasing in reps, I just wasn't thinking and ended up doing about 4 more small sets not realizing how much the drops and corresponding rests were adding up. The same was true for the kb swings and the burpees, just poor planning. I thought I could smash out the burpees without stopping but ended up needing 3 rests there. Just wasted too much time in this wod with my hands on my knees sucking wind. I had good gas in the tank for this one, just needed to take it up a level. Would definitely like a do-over.
