What sort of new nonsense is RTF?!?? Return to the future?!??
This WOD sounds awesome, even with it being 3 rounds. Thank heavens there are no pull-ups, and Mandi I'm coming over for breakfast!
RFT = Really Tough, Friends ...
Vinu 30:13 (35 reps)

Hey Mandi, is that 4 or 5 cashews? Every one counts, right?!
This is why i like zone. If you just stick with the basics, its easy to put together a complete meal. Once you get the hang of it, little thought is required.
*motivation still required.
:O
What's the single best exercise?
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/17/magazine/mag-17exercise-t.html?_r=1
Different expert's suggestions
1. The Burpee
2. Walking
3. The squat
4. Weight Training in general
5. High-intensity interval training
All of which Diesel does. Although walking is never prescribed I think it is recognized that most athletes will walk in one wod or another once exhaustion kicks in. :)
My general take on Walking as "exercise"
In unique circumstances, such as:
1. When waking up from a coma/ major injury in which one needs to re-lean to walk.
2. The Morbidly Obese/ The Generally Decrepit
Walking is FANTASTIC Exercise!
For people who have accomplished the basic function of walking, it moves from "exercise" to "leisure and recreation". Still "good for you", but don't lie to yourself and think that you'll get "fit" from walking.
If:
Walking = Exercise
than
Something = Seriously Wrong
(To make it clear - Matt, I think you are spot on in your assessment of walking as great/ often necessary active recovery)
We could say walking is a maintenance tool...
if you fit one of those conditions that Evan put forth then walking is definitely a maintenance tool...
Mike S 31:58 Rx (forgot to write my time on the board)
I think it was 6 cashews Sujata.

Great job guys!
i'm kinda bummed. i was *this* close to earning my first pukie the clown shirt after today's WOD. almost had to pull over on the side of 95 as i was heading home, but i kept it together. great WOD!
Evan,
Take a look at this approach to walking.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expert_Infantryman_Badge#Modern_Requirements_.282000.27s.29
and search for "Forced road march"
It makes for an interesting couple of hours.
Proving my point that walking is simply function and not exercise.
In order to turn it into an exercise, one has to pile on load, their by changing the equation. Push a car up hill, carry 1x BW on a barbell for a mile, sandbags up steep elevation ... The list is endless.
