CrossFit WOD: "I'm sweating alcohol..."

Monday was my first day back in the gym after an evening out with friends on Saturday night. Sunday was a rough day, no doubt about it. I RARELY drink alcohol (I'm talking 2-4 times a year, IF that) so even if I have one beer, I can feel the effects on my body. I'm slow, sluggish, tired - you name it.  A lot of my gym buddies and I were commenting on how much more we were sweating during this WOD and we joked about how it's probably pure alcohol.  But I digress...

Today's WOD was a burner, which is what I needed. I did a 5x5 on bench of 225 or so to get things moving and warmed up before our official WOD below:

25 Double unders
25 Squat Thrusts


x 4 rounds.

My time was a decent 6:40.

After this WOD, I worked on L-Pullups, back squats (5x5), and muscle-ups on the bar. It felt great to get my body back in balance and a state of well-being. And that is why I work out!
