I saw this last night and had nightmares about it! I completed it in 37:45 but had to scale down reps due to time constraints. I did the first two rounds as Rx'd. Rounds 3, 4, and 5 cut the kettle swings and pull ups to 15 each. It was still one hell of a workout!
Andres and I did this one this morning at Crossfit El Paso in El Paso Texas. We had to cut it at 40 minutes. I was able to get through 3 rounds plus most of the 4th round minus 20 pull ups. This one was bad. Oh and I scaled the kettlebell to 53lbs instead of 75lbs.
I did this late last night. I've got a lot of excuses about how my time could be better, but I'll save them for myself. As Rx'd in 46:53. 800m runs in the snow. My right shoulder felt fine during the WOD, but it hurts this morning. I picked up a couple of the foam rollers, Norberto, so I'll start using those as therapy.
Ouch, Jason! Here's a good site on how to use the foam roller: http://sportsmedicine.about.com/od/flexibilityandstretching/ss/FoamRoller.htm . The shoulder is a tough spot to roller out, though. You can also make a smaller pressure point item out of two tennis balls taped together with sports tape.

Eric has a good idea with the two balls or you can also use a softball.
Damn running the 800's in the snow. Power to you man.
