This was the hardest workout that I had done to date. I like doing these long, draining workouts; but this one really wore me out. It was so shoulder intensive right off the bat and it didn't let up until the run... The 25 burpees before each section sucked, but were definitely not the worst part of the WOD.

My reaction to each section:

(1) The wall walks were by far the worst part (this was my first time doing them, but I don't think experience would have helped me too much with them). Overhead squats are never fun, but the weight was easy.
(2) I broke the 21 thrusters up into sets of 7 and probably took too much rest between sets, but my shoulders were already smoked from the wall walks and handstand push-ups. The handstand push-ups were shitty.
(3) I definitely could have finished the mile run on time if I had a stopwatch with me, 48 seconds is something I definitely could have shaved off.
(4) I did the back squats 35+15, my right thumb went numb at some point and I spent some time trying to shake it out for a little before I went on to the deadlifts. The weight for these was super light and I definitely broke for on the deadlifts to try to make up time.

The wall walks were the worst single portion, but the second section was the hardest as a whole.
