Midwest CrossFit Challenge

Ricky Frausto Filed Under:

This Saturday is the first day of the Midwest CrossFit Challenge. We will be hosting a team from Boystown, CrossFit Results (Leavenworth, Kansas), as well as a few other competitors from the area. It should be a lot of fun with food and fellowship after the final event. If you would like to join in on the fun, donate prizes and/or awards, or at least lend a helping hand with judging and/or counting reps the day of the event, please contact Joe, Candice, or I at either CrossFitOmaha@gmail.com or at 402-554-3197. See you Saturday.

6. 8:21 with 63 lbs and I used the tan band, which was basically just strict pull-ups.
   Great job to everyone- especially Paul, Mel and Tovar! You guys are awesome!

12. Cut 35 seconds off the last time 8:35. Pullup are my downfall I need to get better at higher rep pullups. Everyone did a great job, Tovar that is awesome wish I could have saw it.

14. You guys a freaking crazy!!- the last 9 pullups were tough for me - I think i had my feet about as wide as they could go and I still felt my chicken wings shaking!! Lots to work up to, but that is the whole point - - - you guys have some serious intensity in your workouts - love it!! Reba 8:37 or something like that.....scaled on the thrusters with less weight

16. 5 rounds
    250 row
    20 back extensions
    20 situps
    20 squats
    
    not sure what my time was, whatever it was it was it should have been faster. I lost my momentum after I got whipped in the face with a jump rope during the back extensions (no hard feelings Dave) and that set me back.

    I was dreading Fran, but i was soooo happy w/myself. I just did Fran for the 1st time on 3-17-08 and got 13:51 and only did 55lbs for Thrusters. Tonight i had almost a 2 min difference in only 2 weeks!

22. Great work everyone! I PR'd at 7:24...or 7:42 I can't remember now. Either way I took minutes off of my time from 2 weeks ago. Next time will be sub 7. I love Fran but she treats me so bad!

28. I had a personal best of 5:34, 20 seconds faster than my last time. I know I can break 5 minutes if I come in on a regular basis.
    
    Great Job Everyone!
