Memories of Bad Times

Workout today was a test of will, a contest of mind over matter. I think I heard my name followed by, or preceded by curse words during the workout. Not why sure that was, but the boys will sleep well tonight. Here it was:

Round 1
-----------
Row 500 meters
Thrusters 21 reps/75 lbs.
Kettle Bell 21 reps/White & Harryman 35 lbs. Snell 26 lbs.
Burpees 21 reps

Round 2
-----------
Row 500 meters
Thrusters 15 reps/same lbs. as Rd. 1
Kettle Bell 15 reps/same lbs. as Rd. 1
Burpees 15 reps

Round 3
-----------
Row 500 meters
Thrusters 9 reps/same lbs. as Rd. 1
Kettle Bell 9 reps/same lbs. as Rd. 1
Burpees 9 reps

Times:
Harryman - 21:20 (winner of the cursing my name contest)
Snell - 24:35
Whitey - 14:56

Comments - Harryman in the beginning of round 2, began to get sweaty palms, and started feeling "faint". He then told me, "Kevin catch me if I go unconscious, I dont feel as if I can go any further. I think I may be in V-Tach, and may need to sit this one out." It seemed to me as if Brian was having an anxiety attack, as a tear began rolling down his left cheek, he then cried out, "this reminds me of when I was in Jr. High School and the teatherball coach was mean to us and made us run for exercise, I cant go on."
After a small break and a heart felt talk with himself, Brian re-joined the workout, and FINISHED!!!!!!!! Yeah for Brian, your teatherball coach is very proud of you.
It also could have been the 8 Grey Goose martinis he had the night before.

Station 2 C shift

21-15-9 reps of
75lb Sumo deadlift high pull
75lb Thrusters
35lb Kettlebell swings
Burpees

The way this workout works is once you are done with the exercise you do air squats till everyone is done then you move on to the next exercise. You count the total number of squats to score it.

McCarthy-84
Keir-70
Morgan-58
Les-36
B.Law-27

I was asked by Dr. Glassman to go down to station 5 for the day and "see what they got down there." So I put together a workout, and somehow got Ward to agree to participate. My conclusion after witnessing "what they got here at the nickel".................... Snell is a stud!!!!!!!!

Just kidding of course, very good job today by everyone, no one gassed or complained, just kept plodding through and finished strong. (Snell is a stud though.)

Mashup

Today's WOD was to be "Nancy", 5 rounds of 400m run, 15 overhead squats 95lbs. Most people balked at the overhead squats which is ok since it is one of the harder moves in CrossFit. Anyway Doug scaled back the weight and used the rower instead of running. I did not get a time for him because he was on the j.o.b. in get it done. Anyway it was a full house for workout time here is what was done,

Doug - "Nancy" - no time

The four exercises were: 10 push ups, 10 pull ups, 10 sit ups, and 10 military presses with 75 lbs. Then another round is started. The whole thing was timed.
My time: 20:35 (prescribed)
Bobby Law: 26:50 (Jumping pull-ups)

Joe: 21:41 (ring pull ups)

Next time, I will modify the workout. Situps will be 30. Pushups 20. Presses 20. Pullups 10."

Nice to see someone else crackin' the whip! Well done Bob.

April Fools Day, 2A

We had lots of overtime folks here tody, and then Harryman and Snell had Haz Mat school, sooooo Kandi and I did our own "made up" CrossFit workouts:

Kandi's 'Sugar and Spice': Time = 41:40
5 rounds for time - 1000 meter row
40 front squats, 33 lbs.
40 situps

Whitey's 'Fight Gone Real Bad': Untimed - JUST DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!
4 rounds to completion - 25 wall balls, 20 lbs
25 SDHP, 75 lbs
25 Box Jumps
25 Push Press, 75 lbs.
20 Calorie Row

Once again, Kandi's face was, well lets just say a deep shade of red. As for me, there was a slight dampness to my shirt, but damn I slept good last night.

Our turn.

Station 5A decided to step up to the plate and show what we could do with Fran. Many outstanding efforts. Form is coming around nicely and a lot of people getting close to pull ups.
