Surprise!

One of theories behind Crossfit is to prepare people for the unknown.  This is why law enforcement and military use this type of training.  Maybe they need to run down a thief or carry a wounded soldier to safety.  When they put their lives on the line, they have to be ready for anything. Enter Crossfit.

So, my life is luckily not that exciting, but I do look for the WOD to be posted the night before so I can plan accordingly (may choose certain VFF/sockyshoes because there's more running involved, or wear certain clothes if I don't want to be shirtless during a WOD).  Our head trainer decided to make it a SURPRISE and not post the WOD so we can't be ready... I come into the box and here's the WOD on the board:

Cool! Team workout.. those can be fun because you're pushing and supporting each other towards a common goal.  And even though we are broken up into teams, at the end of the WOD, I'm so exhausted, I don't even know other teams scores.. actually no one cares!  It's just another way of keeping you moving.

I teamed up with my Crossfit Homie. We're always pushing and learning from each other.  Today, I found myself jealous of her favorite move, the Power Clean because of her extremely quick elbows!  I can get faster as I warmup, but geez, she starts FAST!

Anyway, these were the results... we alternate between the stations which forces your heart rate up and breaks you down... it had us beat!  Good Job Trisha!

• Total Row was 965meters
• Total Power Cleans at 95lbs was 57 reps
• Total Number of Push Press (45 and 35lbs) was 116 reps
• Total Rounds of Powler Pushes was (maybe) 4 each person
• Final Treats was Tabata Style Hallow Rocks   

Well, guess that's it.. the weather is perfect and I'm still doing well with my Paleo Challenge (Day 14 of 45).
