The title of this WOD is very apropos. Aaron told us that half of us would probably have sore wrists... and unfortunately he was talking about me. I can tell that I might bruise up from where the kettlebell kept hitting me. Sometimes the kettlebell would come around and slam me. This is the 2nd time I've done the KB snatch and it felt better, but I have more work to do. I started with the green KB and quickly realized that I needed to work on form and moved down to the red KB. I felt pretty good actually during this workout and found that I was sprinting fast. I was happy with my time.

When it came to the shoulder press challenge, since I missed a lot of workouts due to my travelling, I had to start from the beginning and figure out my 3 rep max. It was tough because I wanted to revert to the push press. 60 was the most I could do without using my legs/hips to lift up the bar.
