100 day burpee challenge

Day 15: 42 burpees (15+14+13). What is the largest number of burpees you have ever done in one set?

I did a 5 minute burpee challenge last year when I first started doing crossfit. I did 79. I've done a ton since, but never specifically to max out a single set. All I know is my wife and I burned an equal amount of calories just by describing (in great detail) how much we hate burpees as we were doing them last night.

And Surgicalcric- you are truly inspirational. I'm pretty certain you will set the new standard in regards to minimizing rehab time. Granted there might be some pissed off doctors and physical therapists along the way.
 
Day 17: 17 burpees.
Do you feel these more in your legs, lungs or upper body? I get baby deer legs from these damn things.

We started 2 days ago, but in order to play catchup we divided up what we missed into the first 11 days. So we did 26 on Wed and 27 last night. We will be caught up next week. My wife's face (glare really) that she gave me when I reminded her about the challenge was priceless last night. Granted she did just get home from a pretty heavy duty crossfit workout, but hey she agreed to doing the challenge with me.

If you do them at a quick pace... all of the above. I do them as fast as I can so I end up pretty winded even just doing 26 or 27. When we get to doing 40 (if you do them all in one set) my legs tend to really feel it. Again I direct everyone's attention to my avatar. These things suck, plain and simple.
 
I'm still playing catch up from last week, so I should be caught up with everyone by Sunday. Thighs and lungs are what's killing me, but it's a good burn. :p Then there's the arthritic big toe - about half of mine I'm having to step back and forward instead of popping because of the bending (or lack thereof) of that damn toe, otherwise the whole foot cramps. Growing old sucks! :wall:

Day 19: 27 burpees (18+19)
I'm not sure if it's inspirational or discouraging to have surgicalcric remind us how he is kicking our asses with only one leg. :hmm:

Getting out of bed and going back to bed isnt part of my workout. :D

You are dead meat. D-E-D meat!

I'm caught up as of this evening. That involved 25 this morning and 25 this evening. Our grand total as of today is 190 - tomorrow is # 20. Speaking of which... our #100 day is May 30th... maybe we need a party? :p I notice several of us are Puget Sound residents... :-"
