So close, and yet...

Today's WoD (actually yesterday's, but I'm behind) was 15 reps of pull ups, ring push ups, back extensions and GHD sit ups - as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes. I don't have access to a GHS machine, so I did unanchored sit ups.

I was trying for 6 rounds. I got through 3 rounds in the first 7 minutes, so I was doing pretty well, I thought. Then the pull ups and push ups started getting real tough. I had to break up my last set into groups of 2-3 push ups at a time. I got through 5 full rounds, and was 5 sit ups short of a full sixth. Man! 5 sit ups. I could have pushed a little harder in the early stages, or take a shorter rest at any given point, and had time for 5 more sit ups.

I was trying to pace myself to not blow my wad too early, but I guess I should have pushed a little harder. Next time.
