Saturday September 3rd

Went down to CrossFit Craic in Dedham for this one with Ryan. Props to John & Sara for having us. Great time.

I finally felt well enough to do a WOD today.. thank frikkin GOD.. I was starting to become a hermit.. Fortunately I slept and stretched a ton and ate pretty well so I think my body will probably thank me in the long run for these last couple days even if my head/nose suffered for 3 days.

WOD - "31 HEROES"

AMRAP 31

8 Thrusters 155#

6 C2B Pull Ups

11 Box Jumps 30"

While one partner works through these movements, the other completes a 

400m 45# sandbag or plate carry.. Partners switch upon return 

and continue from the rep the other was on.

(The pull ups were supposed to be rope climbs, but there was legit no room to do it, and I don't think many people at CFC would have Rx'd it anyway.. I do want to incorporate some rope climbs into my training though just for fun.. They seem to appear at the games a lot.)

Ryan and I ended up getting through a total of 8 rounds + 1 thruster.. I would venture to guess that out of the 65 thrusters, he probably did 37ish to my 28ish.. ballpark.. I definitely struggled with the hefty weight more than he did. The pull ups and box jumps were no biggie we probably split those just about 50/50.. The rep schemes were not high enough for either to be much of a problem, and they were pretty much way overshadowed by the heavy thrusters and the surprisingly fucking shitty ruck run.. After the first run I honestly didn't think much of it, but about midway through the run started to be the worst part of the whole thing.. But I had to attempt  to not totally dog it and leave Ryan high and dry doing thrusters all morning long.

Overall a fun partner WOD, I would definitely like to try it with the rope climbs for kicks, but that would assuredly slow things down a shitload. Fun to workout with some new people too.. I think only one other group of the 10 or so there at 8am did the Rx thruster weight and we managed to stay pretty much matched up with them the entire 31 minutes, ended up losing by 3 thrusters.. Bah Humbug..
(Damn it Brie, now you have me saying that, I hate you.) 

Hopefully this cold is 100% gone tomorrow so I can try to do Helen or the horrendous looking WOD from Thursday..
