This Crossfit-brand WOD looked pretty interesting and as usual, tougher to actually do than you'd think. I think I figured this out with after about the first 800 meters rowing at around a 1:52 per 500m pace. Why do I always look at a workout round by its individual exercises? It's like you see rowing and say, "that's not too bad", 85 pound thrusters are "10 pounds less than the 95 pounds I normally use" and "only 15 pull-ups?". But then you go and do them in a round as fast as you can and you suck wind.

Anyway here are my rounds:

Round 1: 7:31
Round 2: 6:40
Round 3: 5:03
