Partner WOD

In teams of two complete the following for time:

400 m run with med ball (20/14)

100 box jumps (24/20)

100 knees to elbow

-both teammates can be working at the same time

400 m run with med ball (each teammate does the run and the plank hold with the same burpee penalty applied and they must be completed before time is stopped).
