"Daniel" 1, Jenna 1

I finally got my revenge.

A loooonnnng time ago, at the affiliate I used to go to, the trainer prescribed us "Daniel", though he didn't call it that, and we rowed instead of ran. I didn't finish the workout, because I tore my left hand so badly that I was bleeding enough to prevent me from holding onto the pullup bar. I had 10 pullups to go. I am sure I have my time written down somewhere, but unfortunately I think that notebook is at the gym. I am positive it was well in the 20-minute range though.

Today, we pulled from the Hopper Deck. "Daniel" was the lucky winner. I definitely would not have done this WOD had it not been randomly drawn.

"Daniel"
For time:
50 Pullups
400m Run
21 Thrusters, 65#
800m Run
21 Thrusters, 65#
400m Run
50 Pullups

16:43

My goal was under 20, so I'd say this was pretty good. I am really surprised with this time, because everything felt really, really hard today. The first 50 pullups might have been the worst part - they were so hard I wasn't sure I was going to get sub-20. I guess I move faster than I thought.

Gotta go to bed. Tomorrow will be another long day....at least it's a rest day!

That WOD is scary! Way to kill your old time. How do the hands feel? I ripped mine up this week on the main sited pull-up WOD with the weighted PU's.

My hands feel great this time around! I just checked my log book, and I did "Daniel" last year on May 6...so, almost exactly 1 year prior. It took me 28 minutes to get 10 pullups from the end of the WOD.

Last time, when I ripped, I learned a valuable lesson about too much chalk in conjunction with tape.

Oh man, that pullup variation workout looks hard. I want to do it, but I am too afraid of tearing my hands up the week before the qualifiers.
