Awesome job, Steve!

Did this in the H2O:
200m, 150m, 100m, 50m swim
after each distance do this triplet:
50 squats,
20 DB thrusters
20 sit ups

Made it thru 2 rounds

nice job Steve!

this one was tough. The math whizzes (Jason, Jeff...) probably already knew this, but the wod is basically a 2k row, 150 box jumps, and "Karen" (150 wallballs). crazy business.

substituted 45# thrusters for wallballs

round 1: 1:24/1:38/1:47
round 2: 2:14*/1:43/2:08
round 3: 2:06/1:52/1:54
round 4: 2:20/2:15/2:24
round 5: 2:26/1:47/1:58

30:04

*rowed 500m, so adjusted time was 29:37

25 Burpees
