Best of luck

5k Run

Compare to July 25/11

We have a few folks from CrossFit Moncton headed down to Vermont this weekend for the Tough Mudder. It’s a gruelling challenge that goes over, under around and through a ski mountain (nothing like Poley Mountain). Check out the Vermont event in the video below. Looks like they will be cold, wet and muddy. Best of luck and way to represent CFM!

    Before Crossfit the farthest I ran was 4K and the longest I could go without walking was about 1K.

    Running drills

    7k- 31:11

    7k?? you ask, well someone had to test the route to CFM standards ;) At the end of the run Kevin informed me that he had one loop too many, did 3.5 laps instead of 2.5. With Gilles info at lap 3, my time would have been in the 21-22 min mark. Must say, the Running drills helped quite a bit. No cramps and was able to finish strong. Nice morning for a run.

    Good Luck Tough Mudders!

    I have to admit that when I checked the site this a.m. and sae the 5k I did a mental happy dance that today is a rest day for me – but now I’m a little sad about missing the running drills, ’cause no one needs them more than yours truly. Maybe next time…

    • July 12, 2012 at 11:23 am #

      I know I have the same feeling, today is my day off, hope comes back before summer is over, just to give it a try!! :)

      CHERRY PICKER!! Don’t believe for a second that this was a scheduled rest day for you.. Get out of your comfort zone Steeves!! :) on another note, Kevin can you cancel my 6:30 as I’m feeling under the weather!! lol

      • Heather S
        July 12, 2012 at 3:58 pm #

        It doesn’t take 5k to put me out of my comfort zone – a good 400m will do it! On the other hand, if I did the wod and you were under the weather (and running backwards) maybe we could run together :)

        July 12, 2012 at 10:52 pm #

        Well we weren’t really barefoot, just landing on the balls of your feet vs traditional heel to toe. Some folks refer to this style as barefoot running.

    for time:
    walk 200m to water jump in to cool off
    walk 200m back to lay on towel and get hammered by blowing sand
    200m walk to water jump in cool off, wash off before mentioned sand..
    burn ever so slightly..

    time 3:30:24.. not a PR but thinking if the weather holds it might be!!

    great job by everyone today tackling the 5K run.. wish i would have done that instead but really needed a rest day! and i’m sooo rested..
