Karen? Are you sure that’s not Cryin’? Dear god.
The hardest thing about CrossFit is … *counting*.

8:03 14#
That was a special kind of torture this morning, and that was before the WOD even started. Thanks Landon.
I can’t wait. This will be my last WOD til tuesday. I’m psyched.
9:31 w/ 15# Dumbells
how many weird looks did you get?
Wait, were you doing wallballs with a dumbbell? That sounds like a recipe for a broken face. I’d probably give you a funny look myself … from a safe distance
thrusters is the sub if you cant throw a ball
Having to do WODs in a College gym means several things. Weird looks from Skull-Crushing dude-brahs. Having to incorporate, “Dodging herds of skull-crushing dude-brahs” into every WOD. As well as motivation in knowing I will never be a skull-crushing dude-brah thanks to crossfit.
I also should have specified **15# dumbell Thrusters** wall-dumbells doesn’t have the same effect, only broken bones.
Thanks Tim for scaling info. So It’s ok to do the “Puppies” version what do you think Kyle?
8:00 14#
8:20 rx
My body still hates me from Sat. I’m glad the storm will force me to take a good 4 days rest. Plenty of sleep and Mucinex for me.
I’m taking a full week brotha. Mon. thru 1/2 Wed. I felt like I was severely hungover. Had trouble assimilating thoughts to words to sentences but I do find it interesting that both you and I both are having sinus issues .
Ya I really needed more time off, but I’m quite stubborn. I basically went through the motions this week. I might have given 85% total. After every workout my chest has felt horrible. The best way to describe it is that it is like I went for a 5 mile run in the super cold. That crazy burning heavy chest you get from something like that is how I feel. I’m going to enjoy my rest days and be ready to go at this strength cycle hard next week.

did you guys end up with a water bottle that looked like this: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31%2B-hFCj%2BqL._SS500_.jpg ?
it had a lemon wedge in it.
ive lost 3 nalgenes in the last 8 weeks :*(
i didn’t see it.
10:34 @ 10#s, 100 reps
9:43 @ 6#…ouch.
7:17 Rx
7:20, 6# (wanted to practice the motion – managed not to hit myself in the face once, a vast improvement)
Wish I was so lucky. Hit myself square on the head and rolled down my back. Bonus points for style, though.
8:23 @ 10#, 150 reps
8:46 RX – I have 0 will power.
er, zero
8:49 @10#
Really excited for the new weight programming involving the ring skill work, since I am still waiting for that day I can get a static hold.
10:04, 6#…..my legs are now jelly. How will I get to my wine? I guess the bottle will have to stay right by my side:-)
Don’t move, I’ll bring you some!
12-9-5 DL (177#) and thrusters (67#) then 30 wall ball
