Stations...fun that warps into a special kind of hell

I always look forward to stations....until we actually do them. This one kicked my booty, and left me more thoroughly exhausted than I've been in a long time. I couldn't even get the energy up to shower until an hour after I got home.
Yesterday was 16lb slamball, 20 inch box jumps, although I did step ups, renegade rows (do a push up then lift a 20 lb dumbbell, do another push up then the other arm - that counts as 1), then onto 24kg kettelbell swings, 65 lb thrusters, and pullups.

Well, after doing all the others, my pullups were a bit lame...my arms were weak at that point. Who knew that the 24 kg KB would me so much harder than the 16kg???? Okay - maybe any reasonable person who can do math and figure out that it's 50% more...but I'm a bit math deficient, so that just didn't register.....all I knew is that I wanted to be as close to full strength as possible.....OY! I'm a genius sometimes.

Today, a day later..not too bad - when I do get the muscle soreness now- it seems to go away pretty quickly- like a day or so. That is liveable!! Now I just need to get the achilles back.......someday.
