I purposely posted the rules of the wod in order to invert them, i.e. the opposite of break them. Instead of four people we were only two. My original plan was to do the wod alone. One of my caring colleagues replied to my lofty goal that it was a recipe for rhabdo. My reply was that saving the world might be a recipe for rhabdo also but it's a risk we have to take. Needless to say, I found a willing accomplice since then and she shouldered half of the load. My first suggestion was to do 1/2 trevor but then I did the math on some of the other high volume wods like Chelsea and realized that the numbers were no longer intimidating, even with only two people. Steph agreed and so off we went. She suffered a 1:1 work to rest ratio while I had the advantage of resting while she muscled through broken sets of real pull ups. After the pull ups we went nonstop doing ten sets of each exercise before moving on to the next. Time was 57:01. Moral of the story: I'll never do this wod again with four people when two will do. For the team/mission oriented crowd, what do you do if one or two men go down? Answer: you keep going. History is replete with determined souls who have, by necessity, accomplished more with less. Most of you have heard the annoying adage that one is none and two is one. The corollary is that, if necessary, one becomes two, maybe even three. How far can you stretch yourself until you break?
