Jonah Lomu
For Time: Finished in 27:08 1975 meter Run 11 Sandbag Ground-to-Over-Shoulder (55/45 lbs) 11 Thrusters (135/95 lbs) 11 Handstand Push-Ups 11 Hang Squat Cleans (135/95 lbs) 11 Chest-to-Bar Pull-Ups 11 Shoulder-to-Overhead (135/95 lbs) 11 Back Squats (135/95 lbs) 11 Power Cleans (135/95 lbs) 37 Wall Balls (20/14 lbs) 40 Kettlebell Swings (1.5/1 Pood) This was an interesting WOD! The run Christopher and I did in 10:02 and then the rest of the WOD was just weird.
I am starting to figure out that as time passes Christopher and I are more and more psychically connected. He was very dehydrated and was having trouble keeping his heart rate down was feeling like he was having a panic attack. That's how I was feeling but didn't know HE was feeling that way until the WOD was over!! I wondered why in the world I would be feeling that.... SO crazy!! BUT - we both got through it! ​******************************************************** Jonah Tali Lomu, MNZM (12 May 1975 – 18 November 2015) was a New Zealand rugby union player of Tongan descent.
