Please hold questions and comments until Garddawg or BlueBugofJustice post the scaling, which usually includes links to exercise videos, common substitutions and other helpful information.
The mainpage of CrossFit directs new people here for help getting started.  CF can be confusing enough for a newbie, we want to make it as easy as possible for them.  We ask you to be courteous and thoughtful of the newbies.  If they show up here for the first time and have to wade through 5-10 posts before we have a chance to scale for them, it can make it more difficult.

Four rounds, each for time of:
800 meter run

3.52, 3.30 (PR by 12 secs.), 3.50, 3.59.

My “tactic” was to put my best effort into the second round, and I managed to improve my (March) PR by 12 seconds.
For the last two rounds, I tried to concentrate on the posture (lean forward a bit, but keep the core upright and tight).

i still hate running, but at least i’m getting better…starting goal was a sub-3:30 round.

rd. 1 - 3:17.42 (1:33.12 @ 400m)
rd. 2 - 3:31.50 (1:37.81 @ 400m)
rd. 3 - 1:40.17 (400m)
rd. 4 - 1:42.25 (400m)

pukie was knocking between 3 and 4, but I held him off…90 degrees & Iraqi dust don’t mix well with hard running.

Get some.

Four rounds, each for time of:
800 meter run

on treadmill set at 1%

run times comparable to the last time I performed this WOD outside. ~3:35 rest between sets.

3:54, 3:45, 3:43, 3:42

I think it is easier to endure the pain when you have no Idea about speeds or time and only set your sights on the finish. treadmills stink. Oh yeah, machines are the enemy.
