This WOD was EXHAUSTING for me, specifically the running. And I had pretty bad elbow pain during the pull-ups. I iced it after I finished. I'm hoping if I take it easy on the next few WODs when it comes to pull-ups, it will go away. I can't afford to take time off now... when I'm almost half-way through my 90 day challenge.
