I did the regular warmup. When I read the Crossfit WOD the night before, I thought I read it wrong. It could not be humanely possible to do five rounds of this stuff.
It was five rounds for time of: 95 pound Thruster, 15 reps, and Bar-facing burpees. But alas, it was true. Anyways, I'm slowly getting stronger. I realized that I could actually use the 45 pound olympic bar to do thrusters for a short period of time. But slow and steady wins the race right or was it push yourself as hard as you can until you can no longer hold down your breakfast? I did 15 burpees after every round of thrusters. First round was 45 pounds, second, third and fourth was 25 pounds and the last round, I pushed myself to do 45 pound thrusters with much grunting and groaning...my neighbors probably thought I was giving birth to a baby in my driveway :) Altogether, I took 14 minutes and 9 seconds. Of course, I felt that I needed to do something else afterwards because I wanted to see how far I could go without collapsing. So I ran 1/4 of a mile in 3 minutes and 15 seconds. I cranked the treadmill to a speed of 7, which never happens. Usually I do a 4 or 5 speed so that shows how much faster I'm running. It was overall a tough workout, especially with the burpees. Kicked my ass today!
