I Repeat...Burpees Suck!

Today's workout once again had burpees in it.  I HATE BURPEES.  And these weren't regular burpees.  They were bar facing burpees.  Meaning, you do a burpee facing the bar, and then jump and turn so you land on the other side facing the bar, hence the name.  There is nothing like burpees in a wod to wear me out so fast.  And why should this one be any different.  The workout was 5 rounds of 15 push press (95lbs) and 15 bar facing burpees.  My original goal was to finish under 30 min.  About halfway through, I realized that was going to be very reachable.  I finished in 23:40.  Better than I had thought, but still not where I want to be.  The only way to get better with the workouts and burpees is to do them.  My body is pretty worn out from the last 2 weeks of wods.  The programming from Crossfit Militia has been great and really kicked my butt.  I am thinking 2 days rest for the holiday weekend.  Or maybe just a light jog on Sat.   A little R & R will be a good thing.
