A few things came into play with this WOD. Firstly, the gym closes at 5pm on Fridays and I don't get out of work until 4:30. Secondly, there is only enough room in the gym for one bar to be used for clean and jerks so I worked with a partner. This actually helped me I think. I typically like going at it alone, but this was a little added giddy up to the clean and jerks. I arrived at the gym at 4:33 and since I changed in my office I was able to begin warming up. It was a joke of a warm up since neither of us knew how long this would take. I rushed through a "warm up" to begin running. I despise running, and only recently do I feel this way. It used to be a strong attribute of mine, but somewhere along the way it began to fade. I think it was all the beer and shit that I ate/eat. I love me an ice cold beer. Anyways, the workout began with a boom. I mean literally a boom. Our feet pounded the treadmills. So neither of us our runners anymore. The clean and jerks are where having a partner worked out. We did it in sets of 5. If I were to do it by myself, I may have worked in sets of 3 with a shorter break. The second leg of the running was even more miserable considering the cleans and jerks. Being a miserable workout means that it was a kick ass WOD. I enjoyed the 14 minutes of non-stop moving. Its that being alive pain that really takes it to the next level.
