A Part of History

In a week and a half we become immortals...Think about it we're lucky enough to be a part of the 1st ever Sectional Qualifier for the 2010 Crossfit Games. We'll be the 1st group to have athletes qualify for Regionals, the first athletes to be tested in this new layer of qualifying which is pretty cool if you think about it. How will you make your mark? Whether you're a judge, volunteer, spectator, or competing athlete we're all going to be a part of it, so soak it up take all the pics and videos you need to because it's going to be a good show. Short post today but I think the meaning behind it is significant enough to be as thought provoking as some of my other posts. Way behind on wods so here's the latest


Today

5 rds for times: - Go for broke each round.
Run sprint 2 laps
20 Push-up burpees
Rest 2 min b/t rds

Times - 1:29, 1:41, 1:53, 1:54, 1:50

Well this one was about as fun as it looks. The indoor track at Bally's is my running track. After round 2 I'd had enough. Actually felt recovered by about 1:15 into the rest periods but that quickly faded about 3/4 of the way thru the 1st lap of the run. Was not going to have a round be more than 2 mins and the 3rd and 4th rounds were the toughest (CAN'T let those middle rounds beat you as I've posted before that's where the true wod is within the wod)



2/2/10
Quickly Build to a tough single of the snatch (full squat) in 10 mins - I got up to 205#. Unlike the Games version I didn't warm up before the 10 min clock started so I started cold as in with the bar and built up to 205#. Had 225# on the bar and got it up to my hips but ran out of time and I needed more rest anyway before trying that weight. Ah well it was fun

Overhead Squat 15-15-15, rest as needed - 3 sets only - be smart.
Loads - 155# - 175# - 195#
Wow is all I have to say on this one. The wrist tolerance for pain is what got me thru this one. Very painful. 5# away from bodyweight but trust me 195# is all I had. Nearly lost it on the 14th rep of 195# but no way I was dropping it that close to the end

10 rds of Cindy for time - 8:00 on the head. Pushups unbroken til round 6 and from there I started with 5 reps and usually did 3+3 to finish it out. Pullups and squats unbroken.

1/30/10

SDLHP

10-10-10-10-10, 180 sec rest b/w, no dropping the bar, must be touch & go

155# - 167# - 177# - 187# - 200#

Form becomes important the heavier you go with these guys. 1st time ever going really heavy with this movement so it was fun to see how far we could take it.

3 rounds for effort/speed/time

20 standing broad jumps
20 kb swings - 2pood

Time - 5:48

Different wod that's for sure. Broad jumps were rough after round 1 but i kept moving and the swings were steady. started to get mental in round 3 but wasn't going to let a little pain prevent an unbroken wod
