Comments: Very warm today. Today's workout was short and sweet; five rounds with no set rest breaks, just time the whole thing. Felt like a crossfit WOD to me. I was not looking forward to this workout as my legs were still sore from Tuesday. I also knew this simple workout was going to be tough and make me look foolish.  The idea was to use a 200lbs sandbag but the lightest I have was 230lbs. The mixture of fatigue and sweat made this awful. Immediately the suck was evident. Breathing really hard. The sled dragging wasn't bad as I've been doing a lot that recently but I was an amateurish mess with the sandbag. I remember watching competitors struggling with the sandbags at WSM last year and I felt their pain here. Dropped the sandbag on the last round at 50' and had to repick it. That was it for the day. Talked with Jenkins about his training and WSM coming up soon.
