Should have rested

45 double unders
45 cleans at 135 lbs
45 ring dips
45 double unders.

I was really excited about this WoD. I like the WoDs with a lot of variety and different things built into them. And I like the barbell movements. Unfortunately, the first time I picked up the bar for a trial Clean, I realized it should have been a rest day. That bar felt like it had 155 on it. On Elizabeth, I can usually get through 11-15 reps initially. Today, I started with 7. I kept plugging away, 5 reps at a time, and made it through. The ring dips weren't too hard, but the last set of double unders were tought to get into rhythm (I think that's the idea). I finished in 19:47, but I was really expecting sub 16. I know this won't come around again anytime soon, so I may use it in place of something else in a month or two.
