x'mas wod with the honeybadgers

christmas is just around the corner and of course the honeybadgers thought apt we do a christmas workout. its like hi, merry christmas, now let me kill you. this workout is based on 12 days of christmas. so u do 1, then 1-2, then 1-2-3, then 1-2-3-4, then 1-2-3-4-5, all the way till 12. you get the picture. we were told to come christmas-y so i brought my gingy headband along. 

so the workout for the day was

boy, was the workout tiring. so we started with effectively a 200m sprint. then i did the scaled down version of muscle ups, because i ain't beast enough yet. 

the deadlifts, the burpees, the pushups, double unders were a-okay. 

this was the kb swings portion. the first two times i did the kb swings were okay. after that on the 9th day, onwards, i felt my arms breaking and i was just super tired. 

 i really started to feel a little gassed out on the box overs. it was like wow this workout is tough! i kid you not. 

 the toes to bar portion was also difficult for me because my grip isn't that good. my palms sweat easily and hence i slip easily. on the 12th day, when i finished this, i tell you the joy. i literally just laid down on the floor and didn't want to move. 

 there is a 40 minute time cap on this workout. i managed to finish this in the nick of time. 39 minutes and 57 seconds. i did db thrusters at the end, 25 thrusters and it just reminded me of how much i hate thrusters. thursters-really not my thing, at all. i thought that was the most painful part of the wod, the thursters, especially because it was at the end of everything. 

merry christmas everybody, with love.
