Tim on the post-WOD collapse after finishing "Murph" without partitioning reps...
Tim, that's crazy and mighty impressive. Nice work.
Did the C&J ladder the other day. Always amazed at how quickly this workout instantly fatigues me.

6 Rounds + 6 reps.
Couldn't squeeze out the 7th rep before time expired.

I didn't participate in today's workout because Murph opted to beat the living bejesus out of me and left my right arm unfit to participate. And it's a shame, because I quite enjoy C&Js.
On my way to the gym yesterday, I was grumbling to myself about how much Murph was going to suck, how it was cold and windy outside, how it was wholly unnatural to do this kind of workout after I had been unfaithful about going to the gym the past couple weeks while eating and drinking (and drinking (and drinking)) too much, and how much running in the cold was going to suck, and how cold and windy it was outside, and how this was an all around stupid idea. Then I passed an SUV that had a kayak strapped to its top. Comparatively, I no longer felt nearly as stupid any longer.
