WOD #5 - Zig zag run, Thrusters, and Pull-ups

Probably the most exciting workout to watch - this is the final workout of the day.  We are hoping (as long as scoring and tabulating scores goes correctly and efficiently - which it will) to have the workout heats posted in order of current placing of athletes in each division (bottom to top).

Zig zag run through 20 total hurdles set-up on the street
15 Thrusters (Brutes - 55/75# and Beasts 65/95#)
15 Ring rows/Chest to bar Pull-ups (Brutes - ring rows and Beasts - C2B pull-ups)
Zig zag run
12 Thrusters
12 Ring rows/Chest to bar Pull-ups
Zig zag run
9 Thrusters
9 Ring rows/Chest to bar Pull-ups
Zig zag run
Burpees to stop the clock (Brutes - 10 reps an Beasts 15 reps)
For Time.


    - The zig zag run will begin with all athletes lying on their backs outside the gym once the whistle blows all athletes will have a 50'ish' meter run to get to the first set of hurdles (15 foot long road blockage signs).  Once at the first (10) set of hurdles athletes will not jump over, but run around in zig zag fashion, after the first set of 10 there will be a 50m clearing before the next set of 10 hurdles which need to be zig zag through the same as the first set.  At the end of the hurdles athletes will then sprint back to the start line where the barbells will be set-up for thrusters, once thrusters are completed athletes will then run inside the gym for pull-ups and ring rows.  Once completed all the runs and reps all athletes will end back at the start line for the final burpees to stop the clock. (deeper explanation in video format to come).

     - This workout has a 15 min time cap - those that do not finish will be scored on total reps completed and distance ran. 

     - A word on ring rows - given the fact that all athletes in the Brutes division will not be able to complete pull-ups, it was decided to make this workout contain ring rows (rings set at a given height and tape on the floor for foot position) as pull-ups were already completed in WOD #4.  Those that are strong at pull-ups will simply race through the ring rows quicker than those without pull-ups - so please do not think of this as a substitute for pull-ups but as a completely different skill that will be tested.  The ring rows will be completed strict (tight plank body).
