m/47/160lbs - Marcher
New to the OPT training and blogging - so bear with me. On East Coast so some inerpretations of the meaning of the WOD -may need to fall back a day to get the benefit of the comment stream.

First Couplet (Rested 2 min after the fist time through the thruster/row pair - then decided that wasn't the intent and did all the rest of this couplet and the others without the 2 minutes between the pairs - just took 2 minutes at the end - bear of a workout that way.

First Couplet:
Rd 1: THR Rx'd UB at 24 sec/ Row 550 (rest 2 min)
Rd 2: THR Rx'd UB at 25 sec/ Row 551 ("no" rest but took 10 sec to catch breath)
Rd 3: THR Rx'd UB at 27 sec /row 545

Rested 2 min and changed weight on bar

Second Couplet
Rd 1: FS Rx'd UB at ~30 sec/ 130reps
Rd 2: same
Rd 3: same

No rest beween rounds. Uncertain on form for "high knee skipping" - ended up looking like a high knee "running man"

Major problems with timing on this one as FS kept messing with my watch on my wrist. What do people use to take times/splits in the middle of these workouts? - hard to do that and breathe.

Rested 2 minutes then did the third couplet

Third Couplet: 3:59 all rounds unbroken

Pullups were a rest! - lost butterfly kip briefly at 10 on 15 round, got it back on the 9's
burpees were tough - very nauseous on the 15 round of burpees
Had to catch breath for ~10 sec after burpees 21 and 15 so time way slower than Fran.
