Ripped Hands! It's official!

Well, I have finally succeeded in ripping my skin open during 14.4. I always see pictures of crossfitters with callouses and ripped up hands but I never actually tore my skin, only couloused up. 

If I did more than one toe to bar in a row in this open tonight, my hands would be ripped to shreds!

Here's one of my hands even after countless chalk applying and taking breaks after every toe to bar. 

Anyway, here's the open workout...

You have to be an elite CrossFitter to even get through this workout! I didn't even put a dent into it!

It took me about 4 minutes, 30 seconds to row 60 calories... 

Then the toes to bar absolutely destroyed me. First of all, I've never done these before. So far, at Crossfit, I've only done knees to elbow... So doing toes to bar for the first time (Not to mention having to do 50) was tough! 

I only got 20 of them in 10 minutes, that is 2 a minutes and that is pretty terrible. 

Like I said, I had to stop in between each one and the main reason was because of my hands. 

Next time, I need to tape up for this! 

I will say that I am glad I did the workout. I thought I was for sure going to get to the wall balls. When I practiced toes to bar before the workout, I did a few pretty easily and I was feeling confident I would get through 50. 

Then again, I did just row for 5 minutes. 

Well, I'm exhausted.
