After I was done and lying on the floor recovering, a guy who needed a bar from the machine I was under said to me in English “those CrossFit workouts are tough.” He didn’t ask me to get up, but I did, cleaned up my sweat angel, and left.
Last night in Amman; off to Petra and Wadi Rum early in the morning – must be a day of rest.
Yes, I was a bit quick on declaring the rest day(s); Petra was a 4 mile hike and Wadi Rum was an hike that included a climb up to the source of Lawrence’s spring. Lots of interesting history to see.
I want to go to Petra so badly! My only chance was back in January 2003 and I would have been traveling alone so everyone advised against it. I still regret not going.
(I am assuming this comment was meant for me) I did the workout in the weight room at Le Royal Hotel. It had free weights and a split pull-up bar on a larger machine. I just carved out my space to do the workouts (moved the barbell or dumbbell near where I needed them). I did get some funny looks and had to “ask” someone to wait on a machine once since I was using it for pull-ups; they only had to delay a couple of minutes. There may have been looks, but I just kept playing the “crazy American” and put everything away when I was done. There was plenty of room and I didn’t interfere very much at all. The free coffee, hot chocolate and hot tea machine was nice (and the sauna, steam room, two pools – salted and un-salted -, the hot tubs, several showers, and masseuses were nice too – not that I used any of them ;-).
21 rds 5 pulls, Rx. I love this wod, as grinding as it is…Cindy was my first (i did half-cindy that day, think I got 7 or 8 rounds, using blue band for pullups, and was ready to die)
Happy to Mother you! If there’s one thing I know, it’s how to take care of a blister on the hand (besides, I had my own practice earlier that morning)!

You are going to have a blast. One full day of roaming around Petra should be a WOD for sure.

Amman…I’m so jealous. Props to hitting a wod on the road, I get lazy when I travel
