Fitness - WOD "Nancy" 7/10

This morning we started with a fun little dodge ball warm up - CrossFit style. 6 balls, each a different color that corresponded to a specific exercise. So when you got hit with the ball, depending on what color it was you had to do either 10 reps of: squats, burpees, a 100m run, knees 2 elbows, push ups or box jumps. Then it was on to the WOD.

WOD "Nancy"
5 rounds for time of:
15 overhead squats - 95#
400m run

Time: 16:07
Calories burned (WOD only): 619

Nancy killed me today but overall I'm happy with my time and proud of myself that I got the Rx. It was my first time with this benchmark WOD and I could tell my body was super fatigued from all the leg, shoulder and back work this week (presses, KB c&j's, snatches etc.). I got through the first two rounds without taking a break on the overhead squats but I probably took too much time resting after the run before starting back in with the overhead squats. I had to break the last three rounds of overhead squats into sets of 10 and 5. When I felt my form starting to waiver I focused on keeping my elbows locked, chest up and going deep enough to count the rep and get the Rx.
