I was really apprehensive about doing the WOD. It’s a lot of work and I was concerned about how to scale it. I think there were several others that were wondering how this would all work out.
Here is how we scaled the WOD to create my own Masters Division
Sub’d rowing 400 m’s instead of running
205 lb deadlifts (did these fast with good form)
35lb KB swings (did these fast with good form)
Used 45lb bar and did Front Squats for OHS (did these slow with horrible form)
Did squat thrust for burpees
Did jumping pull ups for chest to bar
Did step up/down for box jumps
Tried 35lb DB’s for squat clean but switched to 20lb DB’s (slow with horrible form)
As usual, anything with squats was my downfall.
Really happy with my time and performance. Glad that I went in the middle heat. That heat had the most people and the people from the first heat were tired and trying to recover and the people in the last heat were focused on what they were going to be doing so that made it easier to blend into the background.
I think we got away injury free except to for Brian ripping open a big blister on the palm of his left hand.
Everyone enjoyed the morning as we dedicated our efforts to those impacted by the events at Fort Hood.
I took pictures with Brandon’s camera during the first heat and Brandon took pictures through the rest of the morning. Brian was taking picture also so we should have some good shots once those are posted.
Eating—Sucks
What hurts today—Nothing out of the ordinary today.
One Year Ago—On Saturday one year ago it started snowing in the early afternoon. Brian, his boys, Chris and I participated in Jerry’s Toys for Tots bowling fund raiser. I really enjoyed that afternoon because I beat Jerry at bowling. It felt good.
