Do not underestimate the suckiness of the slam ball.

Today was a looooonnnnnggg day. Coached for most of the day, and in between coaching, ran some errands. Was able to squeeze today's wod in with the very last class of the day.... started the workout around 8PM. Beforehand, had great success with the handstand walking. It's almost like I'm getting the hang of it. I still have a long way to go, but there are moments where it's actually like walking on my hands ... LOL.

Holy heavy deads man.... I felt super weak and tired tonight. Couldn't figure out why and basically thought I just didn't eat enough food to fuel the extra long day I had. Then when I got home, Aunt Flo arrived and it all kind of made sense. The consensus amongst my group of fellow sufferers was that we'd rename the workout from "Sexypants" to "Not so sexy limpin' out the gym..." The slam balls were absolute misery.... total complete misery. I'd like to revisit this when I have lil more energy.
