WODs of June 2014

I really ought to include the year in these post titles, as I’ve now been doing this crossfit thing for well over a year (2 years in September). I’m still only slightly embarrassed about it. Anyway, it’s benchmark time, so we are repeating several of the “girls” and I am noticing my times are slower than last year. I’m carrying a little more weight than I was last year (going to have to start shedding those winter pounds at some point).

I know I missed taking a couple of pics, possibly of a benchmark. I also missed class at least once (due to lack of sleep). 

Karen. Slower this time around, I think because a) I counted more accurately and b) I tried not to cheat and count bad reps and c) I'm just slower these days. It's a benchmark WOD trend this summer.

First, I did not PR in my 1-rep max attempt at the DL. Then the WOD, where I'm guessing the Double Unders gave me quite a bit of trouble, as they usually do.

I cranked it in the row, then died doing the KB swings. Sad story.

That time I thought I beat my time by like a minute, only to realize I actually was 4 seconds slower.

Look at my time. I'm much slower than the others. Working on form for my pull ups. Yeah, that's what it was.

This was today. Bar-facing burpees are getting easier. Still annoying, but not as annoying.

Happy Lifting.
