WOD 2
6:07 - very happy with this workout even though it crushed me!! Haven't been doing a lot of this type of energy system training leading into the competition, so to come out of it alive was a big goal for me!

WOD 3
PR'd in the 5K Row 20:35, wasn't trying to smash this row, just keep moving to give myself some time to recovery and knock out some burpees.
I managed to sneak out 43 burpees, not bad but I could have pushed a lil harder here!

All in all it was an awesome day with great people! I can't wait for the next Big Dawg Competition!
