So I took a couple of seconds off...just think how much would've come off if I could have inhaled more oxygen.

So since I've been sick, the plan was to go until the coughing started then see how things went from there. Then with the balance thing...my bar had a piece of yellow tape around the midline area, so as I was doing push presses I was seeing a yellow line glide in front of my face...it was sort of surreal, because my mind was telling me it was a side effect of the illness instead of an illusion from the tape on the bar.

After the 50's were done I had to put my hair farther up as well as I lost several strands of hair that got caught in the tape while on my back for the squats...that hurt.

Then, I have still been taking some things easy on my shoulder since it's getting better, so this is the first time I have actually done this workout since November. My shoulder got really tired so I did probably at least 70 or so of the jumping squats only holding the bar with my right hand/arm and letting the left side "be free". That adds a bit to the dimension of the workout as well.

I did start coughing about 5 minutes after finishing all the reps in this WOD...that was an evening killer. I coughed so much it caused Pukey's evil twin "Spastic Pukey" to visit...I was coughing so much my stomach decided to join the fun and when the coughing would wrech me foward I would then either dry heave of puke...this happened at least 3-4 times before I made it home, and a couple of times after. My head also felt as if it would explode any time I coughed. Then I started shaking due to the energy expelled to do the full body cough. All in all I did not sleep very well, and thus am a bit tired today... I am very glad tonights WOD is not met-con.
