      I don’t know…. I was thinking that way too then thought what if I can figure out the weakness of the 1 big duck. That would be a pretty awesome friend!

  1. Please cancel my 6am! Sorry Val, roads are not plowed yet here in Elgin and I have summer tires….don’t want to slide down the mountain 🙂 going to go for 3:15

      Kevin got you covered. I looked at the board. “ahhh Alaina cancelled :(” Then he passed along your message 🙂

      I forgive you

    Rest 2 minutes

    161 (53+58+50)

    I need to figure out my 1RM DL. 85 felt easy but that was 50% of my theoretical 1RM. Mid-WOD I realized I did 135 multiple reps during the open so I should of when BW (which would of been 125 on a regular day… not today post-Easter sugar lol). Next lab…

    Managed to hold on to 45# KBS… they were not pretty!! working on that mental block. that was the hardest part of the WOD for me.

    QOD… umm what? lol

    QOD is easy. 1 horse-sized duck. Why fight 100 opponents if you can fight just one.

      1. Right, that’s what I was thinking. If I had no weapons, I couldn’t fight a horse-sized duck. One jab at me with it’s beak and I’d be done. 100 duck sized horses though, surely I can kick 100 times and win the fight. A couple roundhouses would take out 3 or 4 at a time.

    1. Valérie Arseneau

      That was my logic too! Although I was thinking to try to befriend it 🙂 Would be an awesome mode of transportation!!!

  4. I don’t like horses and I don’t like large animals so basically I’m F’d, but then again maybe I don’t like horses because generally they are large, so i’d say the 100 mini horses.

    My brain thought I had to break up the last set of DL and my body went and listened…cost me a few reps for sure.

    Great Class everyone at 6am

    QOD: horse sized duck for sure. I would bring a saddle and tame that bad boy. And yes I would let everyone have a ride.

  7. Those choosing the 100 horses have clearly never been:
    1) Bit by a horse or
    2) around a large group of hungry angry animals.

    I once tried to feed a large group of chickens, never again. I pick the horse-sized duck.

    1. True, you’d end up pretty mangled after a fight with 100 small horses – but I feel like you’d have a better chance of surviving it, as opposed to a fight with a giant duck..

  10. QOD: I would like to know why they would attack in the first place. but if it came down to it I would rather go up against 100 duck sized horses.

  11. QOD: One horse-seized duck. I would tame him and make him say “AFLAC”, then go riding with Keith and then fight crime.

    1. The question was “Would you rather be attacked”. You just can’t tame a horse-sized duck… I’m pretty sure the spirit of the question had no taming as an option

      1. I am confident I could tame him. They don’t call me “The Horse-Sized Duck Whisperer” for nothing… unless it was a character reference.

  14. Is this picture of my head on someone else’s body? It’s kinda freaking me out a bit……

  15. Vanessa Champion

    Definitely horse size duck. Many duck sized horses would be too fast to out run 🙂

  16. Heather Colleen

    I feel like I’d have a better chance of outrunning 1 BIG duck than 100 moderately small horses…

    Every 30s for 7 min

    Started at 55#, went up a bunch a bunch of times, ended at 75#.

    3 rounds of:
    AMRAP in 3 min

    10 Deadlifts (110#) <–Further proof that Heather can't do walk and do math at the same time. Should've been either 95# or 100#.
    10 Box Jumps (20″)
    10 Kettlebell Swings (30#) <– Kept the weight low, since I figured I'd need to concentrate on keeping my shoulder activated. So, you know, my physiotherapist wouldn't kick me for re-injuring myself.

    I was very cautious with the DL’s I’m still very tentative and scared to re-injure my back.

    I wasn’t going to go today, but the 4 Doughnuts I ate yesterday guilt-ed me in to going. I feel like we’re even after that workout 😀
