    Wow it’s dark at 6 a.m.!! Great working out with this crazy group. Off to Boston this afternoon but not sure how I’ll hold the steering wheel – my arms are toast πŸ™‚

    Oops – “Paleo peeps – you must complete your benchmark workouts by Friday”

    Kevin, I won’t be back until Monday – so should I plan to do it then? (And does this mean I should continue Paleo over the weekend while I’m at my conference? πŸ™ )

    I agree with the video. Wasn’t (isn’t) there a severe burpee penalty for dropping 10’s or empty bars?

    Kodos to Sarah for finishing strong this morning.

  13. Maria

    Today marks one year exactly I and a few others I know πŸ™‚ began the Paleo journey. So happy I signed up last year! Good luck to the challengers on the homestretch!

    3. Amanda

      Woohoo!! I’m amazed that it’s been a year already, it feels like just yesterday. Maria told me it was our 1 year anniversary this morning and I had an instant flashback to that first weekend that I spent in the kitchen cooking my meals for the upcoming week. It was a really tough and frustrating few weeks in the beginning (my biggest challenge before the challenge was my inability to cook!) but it’s a easy now and I’ll never go back. One of the best things I ever did with my life! Love seeing all the amazing progress from this year’s challengers. You may not realize it but you’re inspiring other people. Keep up the good work!

  17. Blake

    WU x 2 (5 pull-ups each)

    25 DUs – 3:45 …not my best showing but thanks to some tips from Coach Kevin I think I am on to something.

    Paleo Benchmarks:

    AMRAP in 5 min of Burpees:
    71 Burpees (before = 69)
    Did 15 quick ones before Kevin noticed I didn’t actually START the timer…doh!

    Row 2 km:
    7:58.4 (before = 8:17.4)
    SUPER thanks to Natacha for the encouragement! I would not have kept that pace without you cheering!

    Max. Unbroken Pull-ups:
    19 (before=20)
    A bit disappointed…I simply did not rest enough between the rowing and pull-ups as they are both pretty arm-intensive.
    It’s in the books, but I will try tomorrow as it’s going to drive me nuts!

    A pretty good CrossFit day!

    2. Lora

      Great results, Blake! They were awesome to start with, so tough to make large gains in such a short time.

      You should’ve sandbagged the first round…

      LOL (I’m kidding, Coach Kevin….KIDDING!!!)

    Hey…at least there’s a baseline for comparison, should this WOD come back around again, right? πŸ˜›

    Question: Does anyone have a rec for a physiotherapist? Ron mentioned someone before but I can’t remember the name! Thanks!:)

    I can’t wait for my knee to get better or to figure out what the problem is and fix it! If for nothing else than to let my upper body have a rest once in a while!

    Great work 5;45 gang! You all put up a good fight against the burpee / lunge combo of death!

    1. Lora

      HAHA! As you know, “modified” does not mean “easier”. Nice work on the WOD. Your shoulders took a beating tonight πŸ™‚ Hope your knee gets better soon.
