Sick and 2016 Body weight challenge

Ended the year with plenty of time to train but under the weather. So maddening.  I did finish out the 2017 body weight challenge with 50 pushups ad 50 squats.  Fair number of people finished the challenge.

Looks neat and tidy on paper and 3 1/2 minutes looks like a ton of rest.  In actuality after the 1st set its brutal.

Tried to match Ryan and it was brutal. Rowing was easier than airdyne.   The drop off in Airdyne was dramatic.
