I swam for distance today before I saw all the burpees! I swim at an indoor pool so maybe next time I will bring a yoga mat and give this a try.
40 laps UB 21 min.
Made up this weeks Deadlifts #240.

I’ve never done this wod but looks deceptively hard. Looking back on May 3, the wod that day was something different. I was just wanting to see how everyone responded to that one and the times but didn’t see it. Just a heads up.

My main dilemma is figuring out how everyone did the 50 burpees on concrete without tearing up your feet or knees.

Oh oops- I did have you guys do something different (my bad on my template).

Yeah, it can be rough depending on what surface is around the pool. I’ve done this in the past on grass (it was nearby the pool).

2 yoga mats with practice ahead of time making sure my feet and knees will stay on the mats. Not looking forward to this one for some reason. I’m not sure what it feels like to try and swim in and around 50 burpees with a sense of urgency.

It definitely makes you think about your breathe – you’ve got to really control your breathing!
