A punch in the heart

I was looking forward to today's rowing wod when it was posted last night.   It looked simple enough, a few more rounds than last week but 100meters less.  This was going to be way easier than last week.   When I walked into Craic and noticed everyone looking a little worse for wear I brushed it off as the result of a long work week.  I was still in denial when Dennis2 told me it was way harder than last week.   

10 Rounds (EFT)
250m Row
Rest (3-5mins)

I was still not convinced it was going to be too bad until about round 3.  Then I knew I was in for a serious beatdown.

Round	Time	/500m pace
1	43.3	01:26.6
2	42.8	01:25.6
3	44.7	01:29.4
4	44.9	01:29.8
5	45.3	01:30.6
6	47.8	01:35.6
7	48	1:36
8	46.9	1.33.8
9	48.4	01:36.8
10	46.8	01:33.6

As I finished each round I felt ok and then about 45 seconds later my legs and lungs were burning.  Weird delay.  It would be great if I could put it off for like a day.   That wod really messed me up. It was really like a punch in the heart.
