Kevin, i would like to do the 12.5 at the 6:30 class tonight if possible
thanks
Tom
Kevin
Marc has all the classes tonight, but it shouldn’t be a problem. The main wod is only 10 min.
Rob
I will be there tonight and will stick around to help with those doing 12.5.

WU X 1
400m run
Shoulder Press x 5

WOD @ RX
6 rouds + 3 Dbl Unders
First time EVER doing double unders in a workout so I was PUMPED. I would like to try Helen and this one again when I am healthy. Lungs were burning after this one but GREAT WORKOUT!
Good luck to everyone doing WOD 12.5!!!!
Jo
Your double unders were awesome this morning, good job! All your hard work is paying off 🙂
Shannon
Thanks Jo!! You helped me a lot. I could hear you pushing me…thanks for that.
Last year I had 66. Not a fan of thrusters so I’m pretty happy with my score. Big thanks to Rob for coming in to judge, Dan, Marc and everyone else for cheering. So glad that one is done!
Blake
Nice job Jeff!
Marcel
Way to go Jeff!
Joanna
Agreed, Glad it is done! Nice PR 🙂
Tracy S
WU X1 + 400m run/walk
Strength: Shoulder Press/Push Press
Testing my shoulder ability and adding weight very gradually.
15 – 25 – 35 – 45# (some pinch/stiffness with 45, but overall felt great).
This is the most weight I’ve had overhead since last fall — baby steps.
WOD: AMRAP in 10 Min
25 Double Unders + 15 Burpees
~ RESULTS: 3 Rounds + 25 DU’s
Tracy S
Plus…. Lumberjack practice and Figure-8 + cross-legged stretching.
I agree Hannah… the hammer strikes are VERY therapeutic 🙂
Hannah
wu x 1 + 400 m run
strength: dead lift singles: 115, 135, 150, 175, 190 (pr, but not sure back was as tight as it should have been)
wod: 3 rounds + 30 singles
then some therapeutic hammer strikes!
Corinna: 2 back-to-back wods! Amazing!!
Blake
Agreed. Corinna you are a machine! Super inspiring!
Blake
I almost had my first “this WOD is gross I should cancel” moment.
I’ll be honest, this was probably one of the worst CrossFit sessions I have had in awhile with a small positive that I am clinging too.
WU x 2 (because I did not read the sign regarding the run)
Practiced kipping Pullups and Chest-to-Bar. BIG THANKS to Marc and Corinna for the tips and encouragement. I am still doing 2 “kips” then getting up to the bar but it felt pretty smooth overall. Probably the silver lining of the day.
I did a walk-through of the Games WOD, felt pretty good into the 9’s. I don’t think the chest-to-bar will be as bad as the Thrusters past 9 reps.
WOD: AMRAP in 10 Min
25 Double Unders (75 singles after 1st round) + 15 Burpees
3 Rounds + 14 burpees
Super disappointed. This is the first time I bailed on the Double-Unders since I vowed to do them in all my WoDs since January. I did the last two rounds as singles as I was letting myself get too frustrated and from that also convinced myself that it was 17 burpees I had to do instead of 15.
Thanks Dan for judging, but more importantly for the great coaching, the tips made a huge difference! My last 4-5 C2B were no reps but I went as hard as I could for the whole 7 minutes so I’m really happy with my last Open WOD.
PR of 21 reps from last year. This was actually fun for me today! I am just starting to get the feel of the chest to bar pull ups. I want this one to come up again in next year’s games.
WOD # 2:
25 doubles
15 Burpees
4 rounds + 5 Burpees
Shoulders were baked and burning after WOD 12.5.
Thank you Jeff for coaching and a huge thanks for everyone who cheered today!

Burpees went well, i was actually wishing for more burpees less DU, sick bastard, it was then i realized i have to concentrate on DU so i dont go through this again! Lol Only got through a couple of rounds, slightly frustrated so decided to hit a quick 800.. . Felt much better!!
Then stuck around to cheer a few people through 12.5, awesome day at CFM!!
I am going to start doing the same on DU in WOD’s from now on. Its never gonna happen otherwise.
Krista
Way to push through the DUs Jeff…it’s a good idea and at 25 doable, but frustrating I can imagine!
Blake
Good job Jeff. I wish I had your positive attitude on this one!
I am back on the DU wagon and hopefully we’ll all see some BIG gains over the next month or so!

Marcel thank you so much for the help, technique and tips
Marc thank you for judging and coaching me through this one.
you two are excellent, thanks again.
Super disappointed with this. I knew the C2B pull ups would be my downfall on this WOD, but I really expected to do better. Last year on this WOD I had 32 reps & my goal today was for 36 (to finish the 3rd round of 9 reps). Thanks for judging & encouragement Amanda.I’ll be trying this one again on Sunday.
Congrats to Eric, Frank, Tom, & Marcel, who also did this WOD tonight. Y’all had great scores.
Oh…and who is that hunk of burnin’ love in today’s photo? He’s hot!!!
First run since my injury – slow but not bad. Great to back in the gym after 4 days on the couch with a box of kleenex.
Lora thanks for the push to try C2B – I would never have tired it otherwise. And you were right, gripping underhand helps so much! So I got my first one tonight – saving the rest for Saturday 🙂
That C2B was a breeze for you Heather, you’ll do great!
Grant
Disappointed I had to cancel today….my body decided I needed a rest day and I’m not going to ignore it. Layed over 2kms of fire hose last night…shoulders and lats are screaming, as are my abs from Tuesday’s WOD. I’ll be 100% for Saturday’s 12.5.
Bring a Friend Day tomorrow! Yes, the WOD is first, followed by the strength. 21-15-9 Russian KBS Box Jumps Pullups HR Deadlifts x5 50-55-60-65-70% *full…
If you are unable to make it on Saturday, today would be the best time to complete 12.5.
I’ll be doing it at 6:30.
Hi Kevin. I’ll be doing 12.5 today (5:30 class) as I will be away this weekend.
