No no no... If you started now, you'd only have to do 253 to catch up, plus the 23 for today :)

Heh, either you're in fantastic shape or don't have much experience with burpees. If you pull off all 276, I'll be mightily impressed. Most I've done is 150 in a single workout (mixed in with 1.5 miles of running) and I was sore for a long time after.

I caught a few days ago after being sick...Thursday's WOD had us do 70 burpees, which still has me feeling it. 23 today.

4/25 - 22 + 23 burpees - did them in 20/15/10 sets with little rest, felt good (after wod of max squat cleans)
4/26 - 24 burpees - did them after modified Angie (50/50/100/100) - absolutely horrible, had to break up into 10/7/7 was felt like barfing

4/27 - 25

In terms of days we are at 25% of the challenge. In terms of burpees we are at 6.4% (325/5050). Haha.

Heh. We actually only cross the 25% mark in terms of burpees on day 50 and the 50% mark on day 71. Loooong way to go :)

I've been avoiding trying to figure that out. It's not such a big number that it's insurmountable, but damn, it's big.:shocked:

I've been looking ahead to the time when the numbers are too big to complete all the burpees in a few sets at night or after my regular workout.

4/28 - 26+
I contemplated doing them all in one set, but I stopped at 20 and did another set of 15. I've been going over the daily amount on days that I don't make it to the gym. That will probably stop once we get over 50.
