Today's WOD: "1/2 VORTEX"
Run 1/2 Mile with a twist ...

With a continuously running stopwatch, run 1/2 mile. At each minute mark, alternate between 10 Squats & 5 Push Ups (so at Minute 1 = 10 Squats, Minute 2 = 5 push ups, Minute 3 = 10 Squats, Minute 4 = 5 push ups, Etc). Once you've completed the reps requested, take the remainder of the minute to finishing the 1/2 mile. Continue in this fashion until either you have finished 1/2 mile or you get "Vortexed" (have no time to run after finishing your squats or push ups). If you finish without being vortexed, your time is your score. If you get Vortexed, finish the remainder of the 1/2 mile without squats or push ups and post time as ... 15:36 "Vortexed".

Example: 3..2..1..Go! Start Out with 10 Squats, if it takes you 10 seconds, then you have 50 seconds remaining to work on your 1/2 mile. At the top of the minute (1:00), stop and do 5 Push Ups, if it takes you 27 seconds to complete, then you have 33 seconds to work on your 1/2 mile. At the top of the next minute (2:00), stop and do 10 squats, if it takes you 17 seconds to complete, then you 43 seconds to work on running your 1/2 mile. At the top of the next minute (3:00), if it takes you more than 1 minute to complete the push ups, then finish running the rest of the 1/2 mile without stopping each minute for reps.
