The Love Hate Relationship

So I have to say I thought I was off to a great start and not too sore from the workouts, but now I feel pretty much constantly sore.  The Tuesday workout was pretty ridiculous.  When I saw it posted I started getting sore.  The WOD was:

3 Pull Ups w/45lbs
5 Strict Pull Ups
7 Kipping Pull Ups

Basically it is 15 pull ups.  You start with 3 reps holding a weight between your feet, then drop the weight and do 5 pull ups, and then finish with 7 kipping pull ups.  Oh and I forgot to mention it was 10 rounds.  I made it through 2 rounds using this format.  Then each round was less reps with the weight until I just couldn't do any with the weight.  I finished by trying to get 4 pull ups and 6 kipping.  This was a timed workout but I forgot to write it down. 

Then I saw the next workout posted and got excited.  It was actually a workout that I knew I could do completely with no modifications.  Thought I could do it pretty quickly too.  Thought I could at least.  The WOD was:

3 rounds for time
15 Hang Cleans 135lbs
15 Burpees

I could not believe how winded I was with this workout.  I actually don't mind burpees too much but after the hang cleans they were rough.  Even though it took me 10:20 to finish I was drenched in sweat.  It did feel good though and I know I can definitely improve this one. 

I'm traveling to Houston this weekend so I'm not sure how the workouts will go.  I'm a little behind and need to catch up.  I know I won't have access to barbells or KB's so I might have to pick other WOD's that I can do at the hotel.
