My ankle felt stiff waking up this morning, so I wrapped it…which then was forcing my ankle off the floor when doing squats, so had to take a break 20 reps into first set of OHS to pull it off…felt way better after that. Running was still super slow thanks to ankle/ball of foot injuries, but at least it was unbroken!
Last did Bull in 2014, with 200 singles, 35 reps OHS 50#, 35 reps ring rows, and 800m run in 38:51. I’m ok with less than 4 extra minutes to do an extra 230 reps and 15# more on the OHS. Definitely a PR 🙂
Math is wrong…230 extra reps PER ROUND, so 460 reps more than in 2014 😮

Option 1 was 400 Singles, 50 OHS (55#), 50 Ring Rows & 1 mile run. (completed in 13 minutes)
Option 2 was 100 Singles, 35 OHS (55#), 35 Ring Rows & 800m run (left for my run around 26 min mark)
I did Option 2 in 13 minutes; so did the second round as Option 1. That mile took me close to 13 minutes, but I got it done!
Total time; 39:57
Thanks Mario!
Scratch the parenthesis… typo 🤣
QOD: my heros are my grandparents. I was born to a very young single mother (16 years) and they supported us in every way possible. They helped me become the person I am today and still jump in to help whenever I need them. Amazing people ❤️

That was tough but still better then I was expecting. Also, congratulations to my love Mike for hitting his 500th class today. So proud of you. ❤️
Who’s your hero?
I really have no specific hero.. I admire a lot of people for different reasons.. Mostly people that set the example and keep going when the going gets tough.. People that try and don’t make excuses, even if you fail.. that’s pretty cool in my books!

Well! THAT was a hero wod! I looked through my books and it turns out this was my first time doing Bull! I was hesitant to do it because of my on again, off again calf issue, Sooo I wore my super heavy duty compression socks and I had no issue..
I kept my doubles to no more than 50 at a time. The OHS I did in sets of 10-12 so that my brain wouldn’t kick in and stall.. Thanks to Matt and Shane for reminding me to bring my feet in, (I was mad at myself not you guys).. Ring Rows on the first round were sets of 7-10 .. second round were sets of 5..
I was super frustrated with myself before the second run and I was extremely relieved when i finished under the cap!!

Bull (scale)
2 rounds for time:
200 single unders
35 overhead squats (25#)
35 Ring Rows
800 meter run
Time: 30:27
In 2014 my reps were 150 singles, 20 OHS and 20 Ring Rows and my time was 36:15
WOD:
Scaled the OHS to 55#
And did 35 & 20 for reps for pullups
Then did something supremely dumb and was thinking the last mile would take me 8ish minutes (I wasnt off by much…took me 11:45..) 😑 I would have done 800m, not a mile.
Time: an embarrassing 48:32
Bull. The ugly way
400 singles
22 OHS with 105# then switched to 13 with 95 #s
50 ring rows. Tried to make them the hardest way
Ran 1 mile
400 singles
20 OHS with 75 #s. wrist was killing me and usually I don’t mind these but bad form and poor planning for WOD led to my demise
50 ring rows
Ran 400 m to finish to 45 minutes
I received the “benefit” of what this workout was doing
Got a tshirt!
On to the next phase of improvement

I was going to scale the skipping and the runs and do 50’s in the middle but Coach Amanda suggested that I scale the middle and do the longer runs because I want to get better at running….so I did. And I ran two steady miles!
Way to go!!!!!
I have done this wod every year since I joined CFM. I plan to attend it every year going forward.
