Peeled Blisters, and Alcohol Soap. WTF!!!

I woke up today with some tight legs and the first thing that came to mind was all upperbody.  Such a baby.  So I did a good warm up and decided to do 30 muscle ups for time on a pull up bar cause we have no rings out at this location.  Good idea gone bad.  In my gym I could do them all day but out here not so much.  The bar I used had old tape all over the bar with wind blown sand stuck all over it.  I started off pretty good, knocking out 10 in just under a minute.  With that came a massive blister that ripped right off after number 12.  I finished in discomfort and a appalling 12 minutes.  The good news is the the blister is on my palm which heels faster and still allows me to do pain free pull ups.  
From there I went into the gym and did a pull up / double under WOD, followed up by a tabata row fest.  I finished all this work off by polishing off 5 pieces of delicious Baklava and a Latte.  By the way.  Do not wash your hands with the anitbacterial alcohol rubbing soap with open blisters before eating.  The cursing and whining that ensues shortly after puts all eyes on you making you look like a complete douche.  Yup, that was me.
