This is what I looked like before the WOD.


The first tire pull...


Sledgehammer work...


Here I am running, which was the one goal I set out for today. To be the only guy who ran the coarse as opposed to walkinging it... Mission accomplished. People laughed when I told them I wanted to have the energy and strength to run during the transitions, but I did. I just think I held back a little in between and could have moved faster leading up to these parts.


And here I am dead... If you look up above in the before picture I was actually point to the spot where the paramedics should be standing to revive my corpse upon completion of the WOD.


Over all... 2nd Place, 6:57 Rx'd! I was one of only two people who finished sub 7:00, so I can't complain.
