Crossfit Challenge

[bigdogbob]

Oh my....did two laps of the footy field

First lap just high handle push took 4:30ish and had to stop twice heaving for breath

Second lap high handle push on long side of field and low handles across width of field had to stop at least five times and it took about 6:30

The low handles suck it's so hard on the arse

Then at the end did three sumo walking backwards pulling shuttles with low handles pushing back only about 20m long
