Filthy Fifty
I’ve only attempted the Filthy Fifty one other time, and didn’t finish before our 30-minute cutoff. Today, after FIVE hours of skiing (on the blues, of course, Lisa!) I said to That Ripped Guy of Mine(TM): “If it’s a long metcon, I’m not doing it,” … because I’m going to drive the 25 minutes to…
14: Wreak Havoc on my Shoulders
I show you this results board because today it was essential to my strategy. You see, Nick, in the green marker above my name, is one of the trainers at Roaring Fork CrossFit and he finished 13.5 rounds, so my only goal in this workout was to beat him. Pre WOD Handstand Practice … apparently…
First is the worst, second is the best, third is the one with the treasure chest …
Remember that rhyme from when you lost things as a kid? You’d taunt the winner by telling them they were actually the worst … maybe that was just my childhood, where you also got taunted for being a girl wearing a Ninja Turtles shorts + t-shirt combo that looked EXACTLY like the turtle shell sported…
Pullups and Deadlifts
After a weekend off of CrossFit in which I did some 1-ton truck pushing, downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, and ate and drank copious amounts (thanks to Soon-to-Be-CrossFit-Guy‘s appearance), I was stoked to get back into the gym. The workout: Warmup: 500 M row, 30 squats, 30 pushups, 30 abmat situps, 30 good morning stretches, 15…
30 Rounds 1-Ton Truck Pushing for Time
… where Time = when you get the truck unstuck from the snowbank it has lodged itself into Once again, That Ripped Guy of Mine(TM) has unintentionally CrossFitted. In the picture above you can see the massive snowbank That Ripped Guy of Mine(TM) backed his lovely red Toyota Tacoma into, forcing me and Soon-To-Be-CrossFitter-Guy to…
New Power Clean Max + Tabata
Today’s WOD was a Roaring Fork CrossFit mod on .com’s Tabata this, subbing kettlebell swings for the rowing (probably due to # of rowers). Warmup: 15 minutes of free gym! I worked on two weaknesses: double-unders and overhead squats Pre-WOD: Power Clean Max 3-2-2-1-1 115-125-135-145-155FAIL NEW Power Clean PR: 145 (previous was 145 squat clean,…

B.S.
= Back Squats. And my form, for that matter. One of the things I was so thrilled about at the Cert was learning just how low to go to get below parallel (extra long femur, thanks for the extra work). So when a 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 back squat with exactly 60 seconds rest workout came up on…
Group Motivation: Me in the Gym
Today’s .com workout: Most of the comments went something like this: “wow that’s gonna suck” I, on the other hand, was excited. I love the olympic lifts and I need to work on rowing–a perfect combo of loves and not. I did decide before the workout even began that I’d scale to 3 Rounds. Breathing…
