Mainsite Fun

The brilliant minds at CrossFit Headquarters came up with this entertaining bit of suffering for today's WOD:

Run 1 mile
100 GHD sit ups
100 back extensions
Run 1 mile

Mix and match the sit ups and back extensions as needed.

My first mile was 7:20, second was 8:02, and total time was 23:45. Everything along the posterior chain was so lit up by the time my second mile rolled around I'm not sure you could really call it "running." Still, with the warm spring-like temperatures and clear skies, it was refreshing to be outside without gloves or a hat. I'd like to believe that I can ease and acclimate my way into high-intensity workouts amidst the infamous high-intensity humidity of St. Louis summers. Wishful thinking.
