Sharing the Kool Aid

The beautiful weather took us outside to the track today for a team metcon....

4 rounds:
~50m. walking lunges (the "meter" movement)
Pull-ups
Tire Flips
Push-ups

Each team member starts at a different movement. Everyone rotates when the team member doing lunges completes the 50m. walk. Recover 1 min. between rounds.

We welcomed several new faces to the group, some of whom took their first sips of the CF kool aid with smiles on their faces (or were they grimaces?). Everyone pushed through with some great motivation, and I hope we'll see all of you back for another workout. In the meantime, keep on keepin on...

Sounds like it was a good time. I'm really sorry I missed it.

I've been nursing a wrenched shoulder for the past week or so & accomplishing nothing CF related either so I have a bit of an itch.

Keep up the good work everybody!

ben said...

I too am attending the kettlebell seminar
PR on the push jerk today at 60kg
can definitely do more though
that's hilarious that ACAC doesn't like the ole box jumps, do you think you'll manage to get kicked out? cuz that would be badass
Also, for anyone interested, I am planning on going to the Level 1 cert in VA beach in April, possibly have a place to stay

Armando said...

Cindy - 15 (or 16) rounds, 5 pull-ups, 7 push-ups

...lost count somewhere around the ninth minute. Up until then I was doing a little more than 1 round/minute, but started slowing down from there. Freaking push-ups...

Might head over to Rocky Top early Friday morning with Laura. I'm trying to make it into a regular thing; hopefully it will work out throughout the semester.

Maybe you should go through the list of "10 ways to get kicked out of your gym" from the first CF issue...see how far down the list you can get hehe
