Fight gone bad and hills

Tough one this morning. Annabel actually described it as the hardest Crossfit session I've made her do yet! After a warmup of skipping (in which I proved once again that I am the world's worst skipper), we did:

3 sets of pullups for reps (I got 25/20/13, Annabel used less resistance with the band and did 10/9/7)

THEN, a modified Fight Gone Bad. For those of you unfamiliar with FGB the workout involves a continuously running clock - every minute for 18 minutes you change stations and do max reps/calories at each station as follows:
- Thruster (J: 10kg plate, A: 5kg plate)
- Tuck jumps
- Sumo deadlift high pull (J: 35kg, A: 15kg ezy bar)
- Push press (J: 35kg, A: 15kg ezy bar)
- Concept2 erg row
- Rest

So, it's basically three time through a circuit of 5 exercises with a minute on each and a minute rest between rounds. It's also damn tough.

We then did 4 x hill sprints on the mean little hill near our building.

By the end of the session we were both stuffed. My average HR (including rest) for the FGB was 163bpm. The hill sprints were just an extra little killer. Unfortunately I forgot to take a pencil and paper down to record my FGB scores. They weren't great anyway - I started on SDHP so was getting decent reps (around 25-30) for those and around 30-35 for push press, but my thrusters and tuck jumps were horrific.
