Sandy Be Damned

2k row in 7:33
500m splits: 1:51, 1:53, 1:57, 1:52

5:00 rest, then:

3 rounds for time:
20 kettlebell swings 70lb
20 box jumps 30"
Completed in 10:28
Rounds: 2:45, 3:40, 4:03

Hollow hold: 0:40 on, 0:20 off, 0:20 on, 4x(0:30 off, 0:15 on)

I'd already had three straight rest days and didn't think I was likely to do a workout on my own with a hurricane coming. So the only solution was to sack up and hit the local box for a WOD. I pushed on the row, was sucking wind and dreading the second half of the workout and already thought the 70lb KBS was ambitious. I only brought them to shoulder-height, but we were supposed to push through without putting the kettlebell down and that wasn't happening. Mental, my ass. That shit is heavy. I couldn't get any real momentum behind it. I saved my time on the box jumps, getting through sets of five even though I wanted to quit after the first round. I just didn't want to have to face the swings again. My lungs haven't hurt like that in a some time.
