"Angie"
100 pullups
100 pushups
100 situps
100 air squats

Time: 21:44 (PR by almost a minute)

This WOD started off terribly. The last time I did "Angie" (which was exactly 1 year ago) I finished my pullups in under 8 minutes. This time my forearms cramped up and I was doing 1 pullup at a time for about the last 40. I just couldn't hold my grip. It took me about 9:30 to finish the pullups. At this point I figured I wouldn't come close to my time from last year. As I approached the pushups my forearms were cramping so bad that I couldn't get my hands into the pushup position. I somehow got my hands on the floor and powered through the pushups. The situps weren't too bad. Starting off the air squats weren't too bad, but then my hips did what they do best...started hurting like crazy. Once you get to the squats you just have to keep telling yourself, "I'm almost done, I'm almost done..." I had made a point not to look at the clock after I got done with the pullups. As I fell on the floor after my last squat and looked up at the clock, I couldn't believe it...21:44 beating my last time of 22:37. I'm hoping to do this one again in about 6 months and maybe I won't be full of Christmas/NY carbs.
