CrossFit at 9 AM. About 1 inch of snow overnight. Warm enough that the streets are staying clear.

I am trying something new for my hips. Doing a workout before the warm up and WOD. I had 40 burpees I had to do today so I did 4 sets of 10 burpees and 10 KB swings (35 lb) and then a final 10 KB swings with 45 lbs.

I think that did help for the WOD because I actually moved pretty good this morning.

While I was doing that Justin was busy getting his PR for a 500 pound deadlift. Justin has just set the bar higher for some people at the box.

Big crowd. 18 WOD participants, assorted kids and some adult spectators plus Brian and Charlie coaching. The box was full.

The WOD was a fun team workout that really required everyone to be on their toes. Each team had 9 members. For the Front squats with Med Balls 2 people at a time on each team did 5 squats, then another 2 people did 5 squats and a last group of 3 did 5 front squats. This continued in a rotation, 5 squats at a time, until everyone had done 75 individual squats.

For the burpees we had 3 people at a time doing burpees, rotating through the team as before to get 75 individual burpees.

For a couple of people this was their very first WOD so it was a real eye opener for them.

Results:
Team Ram Rod 16:20
Team Terry 18:48

Eating—I have hit a small bump in the road but I will get back on track.

What hurts today—Actually had a good nights sleep. In bed at 9 PM. Slept until 1 AM. Took some pain meds and they actually worked. Slept until 5 AM. Felt nice and loose after the WOD.

One Year Ago—11 people in class in the old box.

You may have noticed that I have a new blog theme. This morning something happened to my old theme and every time I tried to add today’s blog it would mess the layout up. I tried and tired to find a fix and finally decided to try a different theme so I could at least get something posted. I think I will just keep working on this new theme rather than beat myself to death figuring out what is wrong with the old one. We will see.
