20 min AMRAP
8 ring dips
10 lunges 45# plate
12 knees to elbow
11 rounds + 6 knees to elbow
Trainer gave us a pep talk pre wod about taking strategic rest. Given the 20 min cap it definitely wasn't a sprint and the variety of movements lends one to be stronger on some than others. Lunges were the easiest for me, did those all unbroken and letting myself take some rest before the knees to elbows made doing the lunges easier Knees to elbow were the hardest. Did the first set unbroken then the most I did unbroken after was 6. Ring dips were average - did the first few sets unbroken then started breaking them up into 4's and 5's. Overall a good WOD - not one you want to shoot yourself in the middle of but plenty challenging nonetheless - having a goal of rounds to get to helps too I think. One of the trainers threw up 12 rounds and change earlier in the day so I was shooting for 12. If I suck less on knees to elbows in the future I think I'll be able to break 12 rounds.
Side note, Dan Baily (2011 Games Open winner) had a good comment about recording workouts. He also comments on how he felt during the workout and what parts gave him trouble (similar to the commentary on here). When repeating WODs I think this is valuable information in knowing what to expect and hopefully working on the spots that were not as strong in previous attempts.
