“WOOD”

5 Rounds For Time:

400 Meter Run

10 Burpee Box Jumps (24″/20″)

10 SDHP (95/65)

10 Thrusters (95/65)

Rest 1 Minute Between Rounds

From the looks of this one, you can gather that we are looking at a faster paced workout in which we are doing everything unbroken.  Your goal here should be to try to stay within 10-15% of your time for each round.  Pace on the 400’s are the key to this one.   Maybe be thinking about an 80-85% effort on these.
