This one was rough on me.  I struggled pushing.  KB's felt a bit on the heavy side for me today.  I just could not seem to push to the limit.  The lack of working out is hurting me.  And of course constantly being hurt is not helping.  I am hurting my self everywhere but the gym.  My arm still is not better.  My calf seems to be better but I pulled my ham string on the left side Mon. Aug. 13th doing sprints with the CC kids.

Second time doing this. My back was really bad last time. This time it was sore I tweaked it this morning setting up a barricade for the new puppies. Still a decent workout.  I think the heat got to me the round of 6. I was really dizzy.  This is crazy I guess my back is having a big effect on me with this workout.  Also the dead lifts are a factor now doing the real weight.  The first time and second time I did this the dead-lift was way down.  That still should not slow me down as much as it has I would not think.  I would love to hit this when my back is feeling great again.  Looks like all the weights were the same on my first effort at 33:44 except for the Dead-lift, it was down by 85lbs.  I did notice in my notes that I went parallel my first time and the last two times have been full deep squats pretty much A to G.

My back was killing me today.  I felt it every rep of every dead lift and squat clean.  Not good.  I had to go so slow I just fell to pieces.  Sweat was pouring off me.  I really hope things start looking up because I am beginning to get frustrated with my back issues again.  Last time I did this was in 2010 and I was heavier.  I adapted the dead lifts to lighter than today and took about half the time I did today.  Cleans are usually or have been one of my strong points.  I have jacked something up.

LAST TIME

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2010

Deadlift: 1 1/2 body weight = adapted to Just over 200lbs to save back

Bench press: body weight = Weighed 192 this am.
Clean: 3/4 body weight = 144

As usual the deadlifts just took it out of me. I moved through them pretty well but it taxed me quite a bit. Bench press was solid, just a few breaks. From 6 down was unbroken. Squat cleans were legit 90deg. I focused on this because I adapted the Deadlift. They were steady and smooth but wore me slick.

Great WOD today. Arm is still hurting but I could not stand not doing pull-ups. Just kept them to a minimum. Bench felt great. No spotter and still did 225, 5 times. I will have to look but I can't remember doing 225, 5 times since starting cross fit. If I had a spotter I probably would have tried another set at 235. Either way great day. Hot as the blue blazes out there even at 8:15 am when I did this. I think it was already 85 degrees.

Iron Man 400!

80lbs worth of weighted vests
2 55lb Kettle Bells one each arm
400 meters as fast as you can go

TIME = 3:23

I was super worried about my back.  I probably gamed it a bit to much early.  I was loosing my grip on the left side with about 60+ meters to go and I dropped the weights and took a few deep breaths and walked around in a circle.  Grabbed them and powered in almost at a trot.  I did feel my left leg and foot go tingly but nothing worse than normal.  The next few days will tell the tale.  GREAT WOD!  I am typing this 3 hours later and am still a bit shaky.  I know I can break 3 in this thing.

FAMILY SCRAMBLE

Year number 4 for the family scramble.  We had a great time.  Took an Ice bath last night trying to be recovered for today.  I am still trying to recover from this weeks workouts.  I also strained my left calf Thursday during the hills.  I am falling apart.  I talked to Tom last night.

Very happy with this.  I even built up a pad of mats to stand on so I was lifting more from the same height if I was lifting with a regular bar and not the hex bar.

Dragon Fly's 3 x 10 I 2 x 10 and the last set I could only do 6.  This was killing my upper spine for some reason.
Weighted Ring Dips 3 sets of 10, first set was just body weight, next two I had the 20lb vest on.
Just not feeling right doing these they hurt all over and in the middle of my chest on my sternum.  I am completely wiped out.

I really did not want to do these. I am exhausted and my arm is killing me. However they were awesome. Daniel and I were stride for stride on them. Man it was fun flying up that hill. Sprint and recovery combined was 90 seconds then we were off for the next interval. Tomorrows day off is much needed.

Total number of reps = 118-----------118----------127 = 363

Short Rest
Mat slams - We alternated for 1 minute slamming the same direction facing each other.  As many reps as possible in 1 min.  We did 4 rounds.  We did 2 rounds slamming with right arm and 2 rounds slamming with left arm.

My right arm is messed up again.  I can barely move it today.  Not sure which exercise did it but my guess is the mat slams.  My favorite part of yesterday.  I need to take care of this.  Not sure of a plan yet.  I am going on 3 plus weeks of this.

Kalsu

Total time - 1:14.34
On the minute
Complete 5 Burpees and complete max reps of 135lb thrusters on the minute.

Inside of workout:
Total thrusters - 100
Total burpees - 370
Total squat cleans - 63 I think 

Posting this 6 hours after finishing WOD. I am fried, my knees are on fire and I did not have time for an ice bath. Either way I finished this sucker. Though there is no way I could have gotten it done with out Daniel. Thanks brother! Possibly one of the hardest things I have done. I believe it was rep 94 I stood up from the burpees for the power cleans and started to dry heave. I am not sure how I made it I had tremmors in my legs by thruster 40. I thought there was no way I could get past 60. I posted a fe weeks back after a WOD that I after that WOD you feel like one bad mother. After this one you are just glad you survived!

FINISHING TIME : 1:14.34

HOLY COW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I finished posting this around 12 the next day.  I have already iced my knees twice.  They are still sore.  Daniel adn I talked I can remember thinking the first time I saw this WOD and watched Ben do it.  I thought there was no way I could do that.  I also was thinking yesterday.  When I first started Crossfit I could barely clean 135 with out hurting.  I have been wanting to do this one for a year.  Finally did it.
All I can think of is, I FINISHED!   Thanks again Daniel.

Workout was good today.  Happy with my slight progress on the HSPU's.  My arm is still killing me.  Need to do something about this.  The front squats hammered my by the second set.

So much for a day off.  Two workouts later here I am.  I started my day with one amazing morning and did a workout.  I then hit the weight room just to cheer Daniel on and decide to hit it with him.  I promised my-self I would just go through it with out pushing.  I kind of kept my promise I went decent pace but I definitely did not slow as much as I should have.  I really liked this workout even for being exhausted.  Little to no sleep and supposed to be day off I liked this.  The front squats were quite good the weight was so light you could roll pretty good.  I want to do this one with the vest on.

Had the kids do this in summer shool a few days ago.  I did not think it was going to be that tough.  I have to admit now it was pretty rough.  I ran a bunch today probably a mile or so this am at practice and the running tonight.  We shall see how bad an idea it was.  I really focused on staying on my for foot to lessen the impact.  I am happy with running, just worried about my back.

Great WOD. Maybe could have gone a minute or so faster but I was dang close to failure on bench a few times. I probably could have pushed harder on the rows but they were stinging pretty good too.  I am beat.  Several hours after the workout and I am toast.  I did not think this was going to be this tough.  I am hoping most of this is because I have had a few late nights preparing for summer school.  Good thing is that I weighed exactly 190 lbs when I walked in the door after the WOD so I was right on with the weight.

I was way not ready for this but Daniel rolled on it and I just wanted to give it a try knowing I would not do very well.  I had been trying to get everything done at school and had been eating chicken strips and chips.  I was just not ready.  I also worry about my back when I have to go to fast.  I was right, round 2 rep 4 or so my back pinched on the right side this time.  Took a bit of steam out of me.  The last time I did Fran I fell to pieces and just continued to go cutting down the reps per round.  I just have not been able to fire very hard on these type of WOD's for a while.  Decently happy with a time considering.  However my Thrusters were parallel but not as deep as I normally go witch is AtoG or close to it on this WOD.  I was also not super happy with how I did the pull-ups.  Way not as extended as I should have gone.

Jump-rope broke on rep three of the first round and I picked up my spare.  It had a knot in it.  I did not get going again until Daniel was on rep 25.  This seemed to get in my head.  I struggled the next two rounds.  Between the yesterdays 50 power cleans and 75 wall balls.  My legs were pretty shot.  The med-ball cleans are usually one of my stronger lifts but they ate me up today.

Great fast one after graduation today.  Daniel and I scooted out when it was over and were going within 15 min.  My back bit a little on the left side in round two and I felt it the rest of the time.  I am going to hang several times tonight to hopefully prevent any other problems.  I had to drop the weight every rep on the power clean so I did not jar my back.  I could not touch and go.  Daniel pulled away from me big time because he could touch and go.  I have tweeked my back trying to touch and go so I have to put pride in the back seat and just let the weight fall and sacrifice time.  Happy with the WOD over all.  Good to be power cleaning again.

Nice quick one after we got back from Sectionals.  Amazing day.  The kids stepped up yet again.  3 weeks in a row now.  4 x 800 girls on to state - Sierra split a 2:22 - 5 second pr, with out it we don't go on, difference between qualifying and not was roughly a 10th of a second. Ashley, Cora, Jessica.  Mile - Ashley ran one of the gutsiest last 200 of her career to go from 5th to 4th at the line to advance.  Sierra cracked off another amazing race with a 2 second open pr by running a 2:25.9 to advance to state.  Same situation again group of three and one does not go and she gets it done.  Most amazing finish of the day was Jessica in the 2 mile.  almost 60 meters back with 3 laps to go and on lap 7 she got within 15 meters of 3rd and 4th place.  At 200 she was stride for stride with them at full tilt.  The three fought all the way to the line with Jessica edging out the girl that was in 4th to qualify.  3, 4, 5th places times were as follows. 12:18.00, 12:18.12(Jes),12:18.13.  I was in tears at the end.  Amazing day!

Rounds
Sprints - 6 min - 
33 seconds rest
Dips and Toes to bar - 15:45


Total workout time - 22:19

I was hammered after the sprints.  By number 8 I was struggling.  By 12 I could barely run pulling the sled.  I do need to shorten the rope on these.  I thought it was ok last time but I could tell today that it was to long.  When I hit the weight room I was totally fried.  I only took 33 seconds rest from the final sprint.  I finished pretty close to 6 on the last one.  This workout was amazing.  I wish I could have kept the pace blistering but my grip was failing badly on the toes to bar.  Great WOD Daniel.  Awesome buddy one yet again!  If you don't come out of this one feeling like one bad mamma-jamma something is wrong with you.

L-Pull-up, Back Extension Weighted

Total Time - 4:51

Another great fast one.  Unfortunately this is what we need right now for our families.  Hope things start to slow down so we can get some good ones in.  My back seems to be holding steady.  I am pretty excited about how my progression is going.  I really would like to get back to squat cleaning and thrusters.  Forgot to post that the first round I was rocking on the L-'s then I slowly digressed.

Finished up today with 10 Toes to bar and 200 Bicycles

DIANE

21 - 15 - 9

HSPU - I subbed in 95lb shoulder press
Rounds
1 - 3:23
2 - 3:16
3 - 2:50
Total time - 9:31

Nice quick one.  Went a bit slower that I would like on the dead-lifts but I am worried about my back.  Shoulder press sucked as usual.  I was pleased with my last rep of shoulder press.  I was stuck 3/4 the way up.  I was sure it would not go but I just kept pushing.  The stall finally broke and went all the way up.

Supine Ring Pull-ups, True Push-ups

Started with a little bench

10 x 135lbs

3 x 205

3 x 225

AMRAP in 15 minutes: 12 Rounds

10 - True Push-ups

12 Rounds

Crossfit Football WOD Daniel found.  The true push up is with body elevated on rubber weights.  Feet and hands gripping dumbbells elevated on rubber plates.  Dropping chest below hands.  Supine ring Pull-ups are feet elevated on a bench and rowing to chest.  Abbs are pretty sore from yesterday.  Butt and hammys are sore too from dead-lift two days ago.  Pretty good buddy workout.  Daniel went while I rested and vice versa.  We might have gone a round or two more but would have been fried.  This was a great set up.  Good idea Daniel.

Toes to bar, tire slams, tire flips, butterfly situps

4 Rounds for time: 10:23
10 toes to bar

Stuff going on at school and I am just not motivated.  This one hit me hard and I was worried about my back so I adapted by 50lbs on the Deadlift. Good movements though.

Bench Press, Shoulder Press

15 - 12 - 9 - 6 - 3
Body Weight Bench Press - 185 because I had no spotter.  Would have used collars to make it 189.
Hand Stand Push Ups - With my back and how much I suck at HSPU I subbed in 95lb Shoulder Press

1 - 4:07.69
2 - 6:08.50
3 - 5:16.62
4 - 3:29.54
5 - 1:34.49
Total - 20:36.84

I had to break this up a bunch with no spotter on Bench.  I was a bit apprehensiveness with out Daniel there to pull this off me.  I suck at HSPU's and not much better over my head with Shoulder Press.  I decided to do Shoulder Press with 95lbs and add weight if I thought I could handle it.  I had to stick with 95 lbs the whole workout.  Like I said I had to break up the sets big time.  Reps of 3 and 4 the whole time except for the first round of bench press I got 10 in before I rested for the last 5.  Did this at 9pm after doing chores all day.

The Chief

I know I could have gone faster.  I was very concerned about my back.  I did a power clean and felt nothing!  I mean NOTHING!  Wow as much as it sucked the two weeks paid off but it is still in the back of my mind.  135 lbs is just a great weight for me to work out with.  Not doing these as squat cleans I am sure helped too.  They were not prescribed but we usually do them just because.  Daniel and I both think this is a weight vest workout next time!  I slowed way down each round I did not want to get hurt.  My back never hurt but did get fatigued.  I am writing this just over an hour later and I am feeling nothing more than I have the last few days with some numbness and tingling.  Thanks Daniel this was perfect for tonight.  Daniel hit 6 rounds per round.  I know he could have done more too.  We have had a long week with Conference Tuesday and a midnight home arrival and JV conference tonight. We were done early just the activity was tiring.  GREAT WOD!

4 - 3:23.72 Slow on bench, UNBROKEN WALL BALL!
Total time - 12:40.08

Finished this one and was in the Cross-fit flop on the floor.  Got a great burn.  I wanted to stay under 3 minutes a round but that did not happen big time.  I guess I should be happy I stayed under 4 for every round.  

Still in save my back mode.  Trying to do exercises that do not stress my back.  I had a ton of kids to work on tonight so Daniel got a head start and was doing something different anyway.  He was finishing as I came in and started warming up.  He had to get home to mow because this week is going to be nuts.  The KB swings at 1 pood were way to light.  I was happy I chose this weight because it worked me just a bit but there was zero stress on my back.  Also very nice to feel that 35lb KB swings felt like next to nothing.  When I first started this mess 2 years ago that was about as far as I could go.  This latest spell has taken some of the steam out of me.  I am very apprehensive now about any lifting.  I want to power clean very badly but I know it is just not a good idea. I have babied my back for 2 weeks.  I am feeling pretty good the pain has begun to subside but there are still days I have as Vicki calls it my John Wayne walk.  I was in so much pain 2 weeks ago that I was very afraid I had digressed back to where I was 4 years ago.  I guess GOD sent me this message to humble me a bit.  I had been backing down a bit on how hard I pushed in WOD's.  However I had also been pressing a bit on how much I had been lifting weight wise.  I also had been feeling so good I had been doing some things that I knew I should not do with my back.  Oh well.  I had been on a good roll with my number of WOD's per month.  I just have to scrap this one up to trying to make the right decision.  12 WOD's for the month is pathetic but I believe it was probably the best thing.

4/24/12 A few things after the meet

My back is feeling tons better.  I told Daniel yesterday afternoon that for the first time in 2 weeks my back did not hurt when I sneezed so I must be getting better.  When we got back from the meet Daniel did a quick WOD and I timed I don't know how you could do it on your own but a great WOD.  I still am leary about doing to much.
I did -
50 pull-ups
50 push-ups
50 body-squats

Packing and late WOD

Helping Jen's Grandparents move this weekend.  Spent 5 hours loading a large U-haul.  Back pretty sore.

After dinner I swam with the kids and soaked in the hot tub at the hotel.  At 9:15 I did this WOD in the fitness room.

32 minutes Seated Stationary Bike on Cardio Setting
200 Crunches
100 Push Ups

My back has not been near as sore today.  Even with the heavy lifting I kept stretching and trying to open up the low back.  I am having a better day than the last 7 that is for sure.  Still not great by any means hence the non-impact WOD.  I won't be doing any lifting for quite a while I think.

Dr. Dan's Snake Oil For Bad Backs

How good a bud is Daniel? That guy designed a WOD to try and pull my reer out of this low back funk I am in. Still hurting pretty bad but I got one in with Dr. Dan's ingenunity. I will post times and exercises in the am.
3 Rounds for time:
5 - Swinging Ring Pull-ups

1 - 8:21.76
2 - 8:49.17
3 - 8:14.49
Total Time - 25:25.42

This was surprisingly draining.  The Bench Press was enough to drain you.  Great workout by a great bud.  Thanks Daniel.  My back hurt the whole time except during the lunges.  The Scorpions were horrible but I could tell a great movement that I need to do more often.  Thanks again BROTHER!

Body squat, crunches, push-ups

Did this around 9pm after hanging upside down and rolling out my IT bands.
210 Body Squats did sets of 30 except for the last and did 60.
500 Crunches
100 Push-ups
My back is really bad right now. I have not felt right since the Burpee ring WOD almost 2 months ago. Several WOD'S have stressed it too. I have also had some great WOD's in that time. Clayton and I took the van to Pitt state and by the time we got back to the weight room I could barely walk. I then slept on the cot Sat night with the girls in the basement. I should have moved at the start. By Sunday morning I was in the worst pain I have been in for the last 4 years. My hips are on fire, my feet are burning. The longest I have had a back issue is about 2 days since I started cross fitting. This is going on 6 days. I am way better from Sunday but by no means am I feeling good. I am walking around like an old man. I am hanging upside down several times a day taking alieve and stretching. I can only hope this is not a start of something bad. I am exhausted by mid day just blocking out the pain. I had to do something tonight so here it is. I did also roll out my hips. We shall see.  I am missing working out with Daniel I feel like something is missing each night when I get home not getting workouts in.

Total - 10:41.38
Did this after home meet tonight. We wanted a quick one. I suck at handstand walks but it is what it is. I still need to stay away from anything stressing my back. Good to get one in. We were sure we would not get one done till this weekend.  I still suck at hand stand walks.

Push-ups

For time: 6:20
150 Push-ups
You can rest in the pike position. If you have to rest on the floor at any time a penalty must be assessed.  Run 40 yards.  I subbed in 20 singles Jump-ropes.  This was probably a little longer than Daniels 40s but I was not running so I am comfortable with this sub in.

Daniel came up with this one.  It was a good slow burn and we both slowly wore down unlike the usual Cross fit fall off the cliff.  Daniel did this with the vest on and I forgot my vest so I was with out it today.  Back feeling better but I have hung upside down several times and stretched a bunch and I took 2 Alieves this morning around 10:00am.  Only felt the clean and jerks the last two rounds.

This is the first time I have done this workout for real.  Looks like time or weather might have played a roll the last two times.  This time we did it because my back is so messed up.  I think this is just what I needed, I felt 100 times better after it was over.  Back still hurts but much better.  As the day has progressed I have stiffened up but for the most part not to bad.

Not bad just feeling very tired and have early practice.  Should have biked but it was dark and I was beat.  Oh well at least I did not miss a day.  Seems like lately just getting it in is enough.

My back was killing me today.  I felt it every rep of every dead lift and squat clean.  Not good.  I had to go so slow I just fell to pieces.  Sweat was pouring off me.  I really hope things start looking up because I am beginning to get frustrated with my back issues again.  Last time I did this was in 2010 and I was heavier.  I adapted the dead lifts to lighter than today and took about half the time I did today.  Cleans are usually or have been one of my strong points.  I have jacked something up.

LAST TIME

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2010

Deadlift: 1 1/2 body weight = adapted to Just over 200lbs to save back

Bench press: body weight = Weighed 192 this am.
Clean: 3/4 body weight = 144

As usual the deadlifts just took it out of me. I moved through them pretty well but it taxed me quite a bit. Bench press was solid, just a few breaks. From 6 down was unbroken. Squat cleans were legit 90deg. I focused on this because I adapted the Deadlift. They were steady and smooth but wore me slick.

My back was also hurting the whole time. By the third round it was hampering my form. I grabbed the belt for the last round. Not good. Oh well I got one in.

My back is toast like I said the other night.  I have been wanting to do this for many reasons, mostly because this thing has owned me since I started it.  I was determined to get it done.  I did figure out one trick last time that I used tonight.  I got the bouncing rubber weights.  On the power cleans when I drop the weight to my knees from the full stance it jerks my low back and I am toast by round 2.  That jerking motion is horrible.  So last time I figured out if I bounce the weight on the down stroke and catch it at my knees for the next rep and don't use that momentum I seem to be able to save my back.  I did this tonight and was able to roll through even with my back in pretty solid pain.  I did try it a few times with out bouncing it and man I know why this thing has torn me up.  I did have to use the hex bar for the dead lifts which I don't think I have done before because my back is hurting so badly.  I can't be disappointed in this workout for any reason.  Thanks for sticking around Daniel!  Not near as hot today either.  Still 80plus and I lost I am guessing roughly 4 lbs during the workout. This is my 4th time at this workout.  The first two times were adapted and I did not even attempt a time it hammered me so badly.  April 13th 2010, December 28th 2010 were the previous dates other than the below from last summer.  Seems like I have had some issues or some thing hindering this WOD every time I have done it.

Holy cow.  I don't know what I have done but my low back is on fire and way out of wack today.  I will hang get it to move and when I start to walk I get a few steps and something moves and sinches up.  Hurt before the WOD and is killing me after.  I probably should not have done it today.  Pride took over.  I was exhausted from the hours and biking the crazy hills at camp.  Long drives kill my back too.  Either way I have done this 2 times before and all of them have sucked.  I promised my self I would not scale this time and do it right.  I did not scale and did all exercises correct.  Even the push jerk I got the dip drive dip going.  The dead lifts were unbroken.  The hang power cleans were killing my back but I did get the first 2 rounds unbroken.  The push jerks the first 2 rounds were unbroken I think.  Round 3 I went to get some chalk from Claytons bag and took forever.  Clayton did give me a WOD tip.  I would try to get to my last rep on the power cleans and then rest the last power clean I would go into the push press.  By the end of round 2 the sweat was rolling off of me almost in a stream from my hands when I would reach down for the bar.  The dripping was so fast it literally would have been a stream of sweat if it went any faster.  I lost 5 lbs plus from the workout.  I am currently 21 hours into a fast as well.  I am going to go for 24 hours, made 24 hour barrier.  I blew my diet at camp this week and trying to get re-set.  Between my back and some intestine issues this is not a good day.  Plus the WOD was miserable again.  I did get it done and not adapted or scaled.  I was 192 this morning and am now 185.  Glad to see that the weight was still gone even with eating poorly the last few days.

My back is killing me. I guess from the rock diging, but it really has not been right since the jumping ring burpees. Just did not feel right. Daniel said I looked better by the end but I was having to go slow. There were only maybe 5 that did not hurt.  As I was bringing the bar to my chest I really struggled with my low back.  Several times I went to the GHD to stretch my low back and hang from the pull-up bar.  I am happy I did not adapt and drop the weight.  It was tough and I stressed my back but I finished.

Back was pretty sore by workout time from the weekend of digging rocks.  This was a tough WOD but not near what I should have done today.  Thanks for working with me Daniel.

BIG ROCK WOD

My cross fit for today was mowing the yard and digging up several tons of rocks.  I believe 18 total.  2 so large I had to dig them up and drag them out of the ground with the truck.  I would say I got a workout in.

Jen filling this one back in.  I had to dig a good 8' by 8' by 3 feet deep to get one of the rocks out.  The rocks on the rim were around one of the larger ones.

10 min after WOD Daniel and I finished with, Daniel sprints, me Sled pulls 135 plus lbs.  Felt awesome on these we were taking 90 seconds recovery.  We had planned 6 but the rope broke on mine as I started number 5.  I tweeked my back and stopped there.  Great finish though.

When I got home I found out we were 3.75 miles from the finish of our corporate challenge amazing race.  I jumped on the stationary bike and hammered out a 3 miler and Jen got on the eliptical and did a mile.  I thought I was tired after the WOD today.  I was hammering at 110plus rpms.  I was toast after.

This was awesome.  Daniel got his weight vest in today so we had to try them out.  We had them loaded to 20lbs.  Mine weighted in at 23lbs but that was on the home scale.  We are going to try and do it on the high dollar scale soon.  Man they were hot.  We both were getting overheated early but man what a feeling to be firing through that thing knowing you were doing it with 20 extra pounds.  The toes to bar actually seemed a bit easier with the vest.  I have not posted in a few days because we are on spring break.  Sunday I shoveled chicken poop for 3 plus hours cleaning my coop and Daniels and spread fire place ash and chicken poop on the garden.  Monday I tilled for 3 hours to get all that turned in to the soil before the rain hit.  We have had steady rain for the last 2 plus days.  Should be interesting to see the 4 day total on this one.  We needed the rain but not all at once.  Great WOD thanks Daniel.

Power Clean, Bike, Squat Clean Thrusters Rope Climb

Started day with what I planned on being heavy clean and jerk's and rope climbs.  I did several squat cleans with 185 and a few jerks.  I started the timer but I just could not put it together so I abandoned the WOD.  Things just weren't right.  I don't really know what was wrong.  It might be because of my back hurting.  Instead I did the following.

5 Rounds for time: 33:04.38

I have been wanting to do this one for weeks.  The weather was amazing so today was the day.  79 deg at WOD time with full sun and spotty clouds.  AMAZING.  Wind was a bit up for the bike but man it was great out there.  I was in the zone for round 5 wanting to negative split I ended up biking almost to the mile marker before I realized what I had done and I still turned in the second fastest split of the previous rounds.  I am sure with the extra distance I would have had a sub 6 min split. I hit the floor and was toast for 5 plus minutes.  Great WOD this one flat wore me down.  A great finish for the day considering how it started.  The rope assents were not part of the original WOD but since I have not done them in a while and they were supposed to be on for today I added them in.  I did loose 4lbs of sweat today on this one.  This effected the time as well. I was sweating so hard my eyes were burning with the sweat in them.  Had to stop a few times and get my towel to dry my face so I could see.

Hurt my back on box jumps trying to not step off the box. This jacked me up. I normally would not struggle with the squat cleans at that weight. I kept having to stop and stretch. Not a good night. Not to mention the high mileage I have been trying to keep up for the fitness challenge.

100 Sit-ups (Unbroken) (Unanchored)
100 Squats (Sets of 25) I sissied out here
I had a hard time getting in the goove today. Just did not have the juice again. Pull ups took forever. Doing "Joshie" 3 days ago I think had an effect on today. 126 pull ups last Friday could not have helped. I just saw that tomorrow there is "ROY" with 5 rounds of 25 pull-ups. I am going to have to skip a day to try and finish that one. Positive note on this one is that I still have Jennifer and the McElhaney's coming in. Day 2 for Corey and Christine. They seem to be getting hooked. Let's hope. Clayton I counted today. I think you have hooked like 15 people to this since you started either directly or through someone you have hooked. Just in district. Great work brother!
Pull ups = 10:29 sucked
