Simple but painful

Today's wod looks simple but it packed a serious wallop. My initial thought was to do the 2 minute efforts at 1:40. I figured that should be easy enough and a 2:20 recovery pace. It was clear after round one that I was going to get crushed by this wod. For some reason I felt like I was pulling a cable that was attached to a wall not a spinning wheel.  This is exactly the kind of WOD I need to be doing to increase my Metcon.  I will do this one again programmed or otherwise.  It must be done again as I really think I can do much better.
