Tuesday 10, November 2009

What an amazing day in the box today!

At first with only my lone 6amer (Angie) I was a little concerned, but as the day went on it had a feeling of exhaustion and sense of accomplishment all rolled in to one box packed day!!!

We did the African Qualifier today which was last done in our month of Qualifiers in June of 09.

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1

Deadlifts 125kg/70kg
Burpees (5 only each round)
Squat clean and jerks 60kg/40kg

AWESOME JOB everyone!

And a quick shout out to all my new people who have made the commitment to CrossFit, or just came in to see what we are all about. In the last 4 days there has been 11 of you, and that makes me so excited!!!! Thanks guys!!!!

A monumental WOD!
The spirit in the box was electrifying! Everyone was true to the task, fought the fatigue and mastered the moment!
Great job, my fellow CrossFit brothers!
I had a fabulous time!

29:58

Deads at 110kg
Squat, clean and jerk at 60 kg

Thought for the day:
Love the unknown, embrace the suck!

See you all tomorrow. Peace.

I agree with Mel.. the energy was extraordinary.

90kg Deads
50kg Squat, clean and jerk

Awesome to have two groups at the 6pm class!!

The squat clean jerk movement really tests the mental aspect of the game in a workout like this.

I think Ryan and Alena did the WOD as Rxd. Great job to everyone!

26:00 RX'd

Again what an amazing day - we ran two groups, and had coaching for both groups - thanks Gene for the motivation on our second group!

Embrace the suck - love th pain - know you are fitter every day!!!!

I am officially putting myself on injured reserve & not doing any heavy back intensive lifts (KB swings, cleans, DL's, etc.) until I figure out my lower back issue. My pride got in the way last night - tried doing it as RX'd & couldn't make it through the round of 8 due to the clenching of my lower back! So frustrating.

Wow, Alena! Way to go. That had to have been one of the most challenging workouts EVER. But I still liked it.
36:?? (I think??) Rx'd
