    Holy crap… that sounds like a brutal WOD!! Badass.

    Nice job!! Seriously… 25# on Mmkrs AFTER 50 burpees?? Nuts!

  • Barbara says:

    50? yeesh…I'd rather not.

    Mel was smoking today! Erin, we miss you, but I bet the extra 45 minutes of sleep are a pretty fair trade 😉

  • Melissa 'Melicious' Joulwan says:

    Mel was "smoking" if by "smoking" you mean:
    "huffing and puffing like a freakin' freight train."

    Why do I think I like man-makers? I mean, I really DO. I think to myself, "I love man-makers." Then we do them, and I feel like I'm looking into a black pit of despair… but in a good way 😉

    50 Burpees in under 5 minutes? I am waaay impressed. And have something to aspire to!

  • Melissa 'Melicious' Joulwan says:

    Ladies, I'm not too proud to say it: The burpees were terrible. I thought that Jen said, "50"… but when I got to about 12, I could see people around me stopping, so I thought maybe I'd heard wrong and she said, "15." I was, for a second, elated. But then, no. It was 50.

    Terrible.

  • girlblake says:

    You got the top time today!! You're a badass!

  • Barbara says:

    On second thought..I'd prefer burpees over "KAREN" anyday!

  • Shelley says:

    50 burpees in under 5 minutes is incredible! I did 65 (and they were pretty sloppy) in 10 minutes and I about died!

    Your man makers sound fun…for a few minutes. Then they sound like hell, lol!
