A nice cool day...

Forecast in Little Rock today shows an expected high in the low 90's, with relative humidity at around 70%... Looks like a perfect day to run outside to me!!!


FOR TIME
  • Run 1km (outside)
  • 100 push-ups
  • 100 sit-ups
  • 100 squats
  • Run 1km (outside)

Get and stay hydrated, and don't have a heat stroke. Mayoclinic.com lists the following as symptoms of heat stroke:

- Rapid heartbeat
- Rapid and shallow breathing
- Elevated or lowered blood pressure
- Cessation of sweating
- Irritability, confusion or unconsciousness
- Feeling dizzy or lightheaded
- Headache
- Nausea
- Fainting

At least half of those are also symptoms of a WOD done right, so it's a fine line to walk. Make sure someone knows what you're doing before you start.

RESULTS

Seth: 29:??
Justin: 34:?? (We ended up running 1.3km each time, up and down a big hill both ways. Times are approximate, due to stopwatch placement issues, but are accurate to within minute.)
Shiloh: 21:21 as Rx'd

That wasn't too bad; I didn't have to do anything in the hot garage.

Definitely lost all of my time on the run. We blew through the calisthenics portion of the workout. Gad, I hate running.

Aweesome work, Shiloh!

Nice job Shiloh.
Wish we'd done it on level ground, in the cool of evening and run the correct distance.
Not like I'm counting the midday heat, hills and 1/3 too long on the run as valid excuses.
