  1. “The Fallen”
    4 km Run
    200 Burpees

    36:43

    8 Rounds of 20 Burpees + 400m run
    1 round of 40 Burpees + 800m run

    No PR but felt much more consistent.
    Next year will try:
    2 Rnds: 40 Burpees + 800m
    4 Rnds: 20 Burpees + 400m
    4 Rnds: 10 Burpees + 200m

    Memorable quote from a war veteran on the history channel:
    “I don’t wear these medals for me, I wear them for comrades, friends, who died and never got their medals…never saw them.”

  3. The Fallen
    Run 4k
    200 Burpees
    I went into this planning to do the 4k then the burpees and was told it was a ‘silly idea’ .. So when the clock started I had no plan and I made it up (bargained with myself) as I went along..
    800m – 20 burpees
    1200m – 80 burpees
    800m – 50 burpees
    800m – 50 burpees
    400m
    46:31
    I underestimated the burpees today.. The Mayhem wods I did Thursday along with the ‘fun’ yesterday seriously tested my chest and arms today..
    Feels good to be alive!

  6. The Fallen
    4km and 200 Burpees

    I did

    (16) 10 Burpees + 200m run

  7. The Fallen – scaled and modified.

    My plan was to do the following (which would have been 1/2 reps):
    20 down-ups
    500m row
    20 down-ups
    500m row
    20 down-ups
    500m row
    20 down-ups
    500m row
    20 down-ups

    I stopped after the 3rd set of down-ups for a total of 60 down-ups and 1km rowing. Time: 16:10.
    I couldn’t get a good rhythm for breathing during the rowing or the down-ups and was feeling very sluggish.
    Posting this for the future so I can see that I attempted 1/2 of the Fallen at 32w6d pregnant.

    Part of my Precision Nutrition homework was a mind-body scan and this is what I wrote about what I was thinking:

    After stopping my workout early, I had a chat with myself while sitting on the floor. I’m still moving, even if it is at a significantly slower pace. Doing 60 down ups is more than I did during my whole 1st pregnancy, so I should be proud of that.
    We still have to go to Costco today, so don’t push too hard and then have to hobble along for the rest of the day.
