And if you broke up the thrusters at all then you're going to be slower than either Shane, Ruairi or myself as we all did them unbroken. For comparison I did the run in around 3:05, the thrusters unbroken and did 15 pullups in a row before falling off the bar. If you weren't getting a good kip on the bar and a quick set of thrusters you simply couldn't get it done quickly. Colm I’d imagine it was your pullups.

I dont think i would have won, but im a pretty fast runner so im surprised that i finished so far behind everyone else. Even taking out the split time for my last run (about 3.30) and the walk from the treadmill and back (maybe 2min) im a good bit of the pace. just looking at yesterdays wod and im wondering did i do .8 of a mile instead of .8 of a km.

As Bobby said the runs are killer and I found my left side to be a lot weaker than my right, Colm was pointing out to me that I got the two 15 sets on my right side done in 1 minute whereas the left side took me 2 minutes. Resting doesn't help on this one, best to take one or two breaths and just keep grinding through it, good WOD though I enjoyed it! I enjoyed the Eddie Rockets and ice-cream afterwards a lot more though, thanks Colm and Amy! :) Paddy, I’m just back from doing that WOD and finished it in about 14:30 I think, can’t remember exactly, which is an improvement of about 2 minutes on the last time I did it.

Not sure if I'm a fan of the butterfly kip though. I can't do them so I can't compare but they look like less work.
