Boom Boom Pow. Its soooo hot out.

I got into my car today and it said 108 outside. 108... what the heck. I don't think it actually was 108, but it was difficult to tell. The global warming must be kicking in, because every year just seems hotter (Or I am getting older).

The workout today was the following:

Three rounds for time:
Run 400 meters
Kettlebell X 21 swings (or 35 pound dumbbell swing)
12 Handstand push-ups

I was soaked after the warmup.
I was not able to Rx this workout due to not being able to do handstand pushups. I did modified pushups on a 24inch box with my butt up in the air.

3,2,1 - Go... I stayed with the 3 guys on the run with the first guy Chris pulling a lead. I did the 21 kettle bell swings unbroken and the mod hspu unbroken.

Two of us took off. Since I am slow as whale crap at running, I just tried to keep a pace behind Chris. I did the next kettle bell swings unbroken with the hspu unbroken and I took off before Chris. (It really isn't too fair cause he was doing real hspu but what is a girl to do?)

He later said he tried to catch me on the last run, but his legs just didn't have the pick up and go.

I broke the last kettle bell in 2 (11 and 10)
And done.....

10 min 40 sec

I decided to drag outside the rower to get an endurance workout in after I cooled off. The little bit of breeze was better then the stagnant corner. I did the 1200
meter rest 2 min 1200 meter. Except I wasn't able to finish. I did 1200meter rest 2 min, 500 meter and almost lost my snack due to fatigue and heat. I will try harder next time.

Until next time~
