100 Days of Burpees Challenge
It has finally come to an end. Yesterday, April 30/09 was my 100th day of burpees and I couldn't be happier that it is over. I finished appropriately with "100 burpees", giving me a grand total of 5050. I did bank burpees in the beginning, but once I got into the sixties and beyond I often found myself catching up or doubling up if I missed them due to being sick or when I did the 60km Paris to Ancaster race. For the most part though towards the end I most often did them day for day because anyone who has done the challenge knows that when your in the 80's and 90's missing a day and having to double up is not fun. Over all it was a good test of character and discipline and now doing the CrossFit WOD '100 Burpees for time' won't be nearly as dreadful as most people find it, I'm actually already looking forward to it. First I will do no burpees for at least one week though.
Rock on CrossFitters, hang in there to anyone doing the challenge.
