    Ohhh I’ve done this one before! Everyone be warned, go down on your burps easily. Last time I bruised my knees lol.

    Great job morning folks!

    6. Heidi

      Nice PR Gabe. Really fast. Thanks for running & doing burpees with me on my last run.

    7. Gabriel

      After talking to Kevin tonight found out that jumping forward on Burpees not allowed, so will need to be redone.

      Nice to meet you too! I’ll try to warm up to the 6AM idea and will show my face more often 🙂

      1. Amanda

        You guys did great this morning! I took one look at Nick and knew it was his first 6am class, LOL, but it didn’t seem to slow either of you down, nice work!

      2. Heidi

        Nice meeting you & Nick at the 6 a.m. show. Come back again! You did awesome on your run. I missed your bloody knees….ouch!

    Wasn’t planning on setting any records but it just seemed to go so smoothly this morning. Great job everyone.

    To the girl with the bloody knees especially. Can`t remember your name but you are pretty bad ass!

    1. Amanda

      That was Amanda – the bloody knees were badass indeed. I wish I had taken a picture!

      You did awesome this morning Jack! So fast!

      1. Jack

        Yeah shit. Never even thought of taking a pic.

        I think the key was the 1 mile warm up honestly. I took it nice and slow and it really loosened me up.

    2. Trent

      That’s an awesome time Jack! But you didn’t have to set the bar so high..lol. I think I’m going to take your lead on the light jog.

      1. Jack

        I really think it helped. Just jog at a nice slow pace and it really gets the legs primed for the faster run.

        I won`t divulge my super secret burpee strategy though.

    WOD – scaled at 2k….

    DNF… My knees starting hurting so much I could barely run ? So I did 1.6 k at about 14 mins – didn’t really look at my time. boo.

    2. Lora

      This is definitely a “plan your wardrobe” day. Kneepads anyone? I was thinking people may want to have gloves, but I’ve changed my mind and think knee pads may be more useful.

      Great job Chantal. I probably would have wimped out long before you did with hurting knees.

      1. Chantal L.

        This wasn’t a kneepad issue, it was a kneepain issue, unrelated to the banging on the pavement 🙁

      Rowing and 3 burpees EMOTM??? WOW Julie. I’m impressed. That could not have been easy. Well done 🙂

    Last summer, my time was 20:16 but it was not a valid time… The coach miss counted and told me to stop one round early. When we realised the mistake, I went for one more round and then we added that time to my previous one but still… I had a break ! I’ll take today as my first time really doing this WOD and BOY it was a hot mess haha !! Good luck for all of you who are going to do this WOD in the afternoon’s heat !!!!!! 😛

    I know, some of you are shocked to even see my name on the list of posts today. Until this morning I had avoided all WODs the ended in k for kilometres. So the only PR I have to report is that I did not cancel my workout today. Next time I am aiming for not dry heaving at the end 🙂

    2. Robyn

      Trust me, I’m the queen of avoiding the things I don’t like. Making it through the door can be the biggest hurdle of all. Overcoming that is huge!

      Nice work, today!

    I’m a notoriously slow runner. Throw some Burpees in there, EMOTM, and it’s a gong show.

    I was 59 seconds slower than the last time I did this one. Excess junk in the trunk likely did not help! But I’m glad I was so well hydrated before hand!

    17.40. Happy with this as I have never even ran that far before. When I started I was hoping to keep up with Gabe and Jack but that wasn’t the case. Still learning how to pace myself running. Great job everyone this morning.

    2. Jack

      Yeah, that is harder than any normal 3k. You did just fine for sure. Better than my first time doing it.

    3. Heidi

      Great time Shane. Hard to believe this is a first 3K for you. Thanks to you too for “ushering” me in with Gabe on the last lap.

    I’ve been avoiding any WOD’s that include long distance running – it was horrible! But I’d do it again…just not today!

  18. Blake

    Mob / WUx1 / 400m jog

    Strength: tried a couple OHS and decided to practice skipping as my wrist/shoulder is still not right. Next week’s deload should hopefully help me get healed up and back to 100%.

    WOD:
    Run 3k, EMOTM 3 Burpees
    Time: 20:46.

    Not…my best showing, but it was hot, and my feet…blah, blah, blah.
    I had never done this before so now I have something to improve on. Always a great workout, and great cheering to help me avoid my last set of burpees!

    Nice work Nooners!

    Just sent a text message to say I may not make it to the 6:45 class. I missed the cancellation cutoff by 2 mins as I had a client. I was supose to be off at 4:30 but still at work. I’m headed home for a much needed nap to get rid of this headache. Running or my version of it, might not be good in this heat. Thanks.

    My very first Rx!!!!! I said going in I was gonna do this and I did. However I will admit it was much harder than I thought! I never counted so I couldn’t gage how many I had left and no one would tell me… Couple eye rolls, f bombs but I’m happy I did it!

    Thanks Kevin, Great class

    4. Maddy

      Way to go Jackie for setting a goal, saying it out loud (aka telling me and a bunch of ppl in the warm up) and sticking with it!!! I’m sure this won’t be the last Rx WOD you’ll do!! Now go kick some Mudder a$$ 😉

    No part of me was feeling this one…at 2:10this afternoon, I seriously considered canceling. It was one of the toughest WODs I’ve done pain-wise, but I’m still glad I didn’t give in to the weak-ass voice in my head.

    Now that’s what I call being a hot mess! I’m just very grateful for Robyn’s FB posts about her water challenge that made me drink extra water this week. I think I sweat it all out tonight!

    Good luck to all the Mudders and Mud Heros!! Go show them what kind of stuff CFM members are made of!!

    🙂

    1. Maddy

      After the first 2 or 3 minutes I stopped strapping my feet in the rower… which made the transitions much faster but I couldn’t row as hard because I couldn’t use the straps to catch myself at the end of my pull… So I either need to start practicing some rowing with no straps or learn how to strap in and out super fast in preparation for next time we do this one.

      1. Maddy

        I’ll be with you guys in spirit! If we don’t hear from you guys by Sunday i’ll make sure to send out the search party! 😉

    I felt bad a– with my knee pads and gloves. That was fun. I should have pushed harder, but I was afraid of dropping dead. I was really happy to be giving this one a go. Thanks Joanna.

    1. Maddy

      You seemed to have a really good & steady pace on your runs… and with all that bad a$$ gear the burpees must have been out of this world!!! Great job!!

    2. Jeremy L

      Great job and nice progress from last year. If I thought of knee pads I would have worn them too !

  29. Corinna

    This morning, I had a 1.5 hour muscle stripping of my Quads and IT Bands….I was sweating, but not because of the heat!!!!! Why does every muscle in my body have to be so tight? lol! Thank you Brian LeBlanc…great massage therapist!

    I wore knee pads and bike gloves and what a difference it made! The run felt great today and I should have pushed harder, but running in today’s heat made me a little nervous. Nice race Val!

    1. Maddy

      I agree that rowing buddies are the best! That last minute that I had to do after you were done was the worst! Great job and I’m really jealous of your quick burpees… more rowing less pavement kissing 😉

    Wow did that suck today. Not even close last years time of 20:32. I’ll chalk it up to me not doing as much running this summer as last, and of course a weekend of traveling & eating like crap doesn’t help.

    Some really fast times on this today.

    Good luck to all you Tough Mudder’s this weekend. Play safe kids. Can’t wait to hear your story’s when your back.
