Ang, you're such a Hottie!!
As for the article, I've done races before where people have died during the race. Most marathoners and triathletes who've been in it a while can say the same thing. I'm sure the increase in the number of people running races now, as opposed to 20 years ago, means that statistically there will be more people who's time is up during the race. Obviously it doesn't scare off many competitors, although I'm sure it gives the race organizers nightmares. But if it's going to happen to me during a marathon, please God, make it near the start line. I don't want to run 25 miles and collapse and die just before the finish line... now that would just be cruel.
Snatches were an experience this morning, but I like it. I just hope I didn't hold Jeff back, but thanks for the help. I am pretty excited to join CrossFit Omaha and everyone has been great. So thanks to everyone and I hope to remember names as we go on. Hannah it was good to see you this morning as well. See everyone at 6am tomorrow.
Late today I will do 150 cartwheels for time...
Failed on the third attempt twice until finally getting it. Like Jimmy I had never done more than the bar so it was a new experience.
Welcome John and good work this morning.
See everyone tomorrow morning, the firefighter mock test should be fun! Welcome to Crossfit, John.
3 rds
50 DUs
12 BW front squats (195#)
21 burpees (no pushup)
21:40 of misery
i can't even imagine how bad that would have been with full burpees.
Focused on technique today (excuse for not keeping up with the Zachs) Did 98#x3 on Set 5.
Everyone's invited to join us tomorrow in helping Lindsey prepare for the Fire Dept. physical test. We got permission from Joe to set up a mock test for her tomorrow at the 6AM class. Come see if you've got what it takes to be one of Lincoln's Bravest!!
I couldn't get that third one either set but the ones I got felt easy.
Paul, let me know when and where the cartwheels are happening because I'm gonna bring some beer and popcorn.
nice snatch balance weights, everyone! I am so impressed, and can't wait to be back in town and doing the posted WODs!
jon, sorry i let you down. no excuses. i just wanted to be lazy today. :) i'll be in bright and early monday morning!
i got up to 77# today. i tried to do snatches afterwards but was just too tired. o well. there's always tomorrow.
I'm not as confidant with overhead moves as I am with other lifts. I still have a fear that my arms will rip out of socket if I rotate my shoulders properly. I should probably just stick to lighter weights until my form improves.
Mark, it was great lifting with you today, your form looks really good, and I appreciate that you're willing to push the weight limits when you lift.
Ang, I know you were less than pleased with your performance today, but when I was watching, your form (as far as I could tell) was pretty solid, you should be pleased. Even lionesses have off days, that's why they live in prides. Wait, what the hell is that supposed to mean? See you all tomorrow!! 6am?
