Barf-a-rama

Headed to the gym yesterday after drinking slightly too much coffee and slightly not enough water.
I did "Kelly" which calls for:
5 rounds of
400m run
30 2-ft box jumps
30 wall-balls 11 lbs
I didn't want to run that far and that fast so I did "Pack" scaling instead which calls for 3 rounds instead of 5.
Since it's only 3/4 of a mile total, I decided to just run it all out. I ran each segment at 9.0 on the treadmill which was a 6:40/mile pace.
After each 1/4 mile sprint, I went right to the box jumps, most of which I could do continuous without stopping but once I finished the box jumps, I thought I was going to puke. By the time I got to the wallballs each round, I was out of breath so I could only do a few wallballs at a time before stopping to catch my breath.
My total time was 16:08.
There was a garbage can nearby and I kept spitting in it... I never did actually puke. But boy was I close. I did this workout once before and almost puked then too... I guess it's just this workout that is like my nemesis.
This afternoon we're heading to the Diamondbacks game! Today is a CrossFit rest day so I plan to layout at the pool after the game, clean up around the house, and do some grocery shopping. Pretty perfect day right?

Sprinting often makes me feel like I'm gonna hurl, and I know what you mean about exercising with a little too much caffeine in the system. For me, the results are usually disasterous on the other end though :)
wall balls suck!
