    Well…I think I am going to do the food challenge. This is huge for me, as I am a sugar-aholic.

    Warmup
    Front squat (5) 95-105-115 My chest dropped on the 115, so I finished with 95 and 85. Those felt terrible. Very weak

    WOD @ 75lbs
    13:26

    1. Chantal L.

      DO it, you will feel so much better! Sugar is also my weak link, but there are many alternatives to keep you on track!

    3. Gillyon

      I’m scared hahaha! Part of me posting this is to hold me accountable…because I knew I would want to change my mind this afternoon. As for the macaroons…recipe online?

      2. Amanda

        Laura is the one who found/shared this famous macaroon recipe with all of us. They are better than ‘real’ ones!!

    17:34. Good one, I liked it!

    My second 1 minute rest turned into about 1:25 rest because I tried to run to the washroom but took too long.

      1. Amanda

        ha. Yes and I could add the 10# difference from what you did and then tack on a few more minutes to my time. 😉

    (7 reps x 10 rnds)

    Not a bad way to spend 20 mins.

    I split up the skipping into 10 DU’s and 120 singles for every round except the last one where i did 50 DU’s. Next time I will just suck it up and do the DU’s, I just really thought I would run out of time. It helped that I did all jerks unbroken which was brutal but I was scared to put the bar down in case I didn’t get it back up again. I went to get groceries afterwards and had to push the cart with my body because my arms couldn’t do it. Overall good workout!

    Hi Kevin, My sister Krissie is finally ready to come to crossfit. Such a hectic year for her 3 kids, went back to school and stated a new job! She’s seeing all the benefits that crossfit has provided Mom & me, and is ready to dive in. For schedule reasons fundamentals are what will work best to get her started. I’ve cc’d her in the email to schedule times. Can’t wait !

    OHS x 5: 65-75-85-90-95

    WOD: 50 DU’s
    Push Jerk’s – Round 1 @ 70# , Rounds 2 – 5, dropped weight to 65#.
    Time = 14:45
    Broke up PJ’s in round 1 as 5/5. Round 2 @ 10. Rounds 3 to 5 as 6/4

    Should have probably stuck with 70#, (which is still less an 70%, but my shoulders this morning said NO WAY), but round 1 felt so friggin’ heavy.
    Kuddo’s to all who did this at 70%. Tough WOD!

    WOD @70#
    16:45

    DU’s went really well tonight which was a big surprise since they’ve been lousy lately. Managed a run of 36 and 32 in rounds 4 and 5 when I coudn’t string 5 together last week. Weight was lower than my 70% but given I broke last two rounds as 6 + 4 I guess it was the right choice.

    Great class tonight!
