(Hang) Clean & Jerks and Two-Thirds Karen

A. 3 Hang Clean + 1 Jerk x3 (add weight each set)

Three consecutive hang squat cleans without dropping the bar, then finishing with a single jerk.
Got up to 165.

Clean & Jerk from the floor 1-1-1, max effort
175-185-195

I stuck to squat cleans.  My last jerk was ugly.

I suck at dodgeball

We played dodgeball.  Sounds fun, right?

Well, remember one of the basic tenets of CrossFit is "Our fun is not fun."

Everytime you get eliminated, you have to do 25 of a designated exercise, depending on the colour of the ball that eliminated you.  Push-ups, squats, sit-ups or burpees. 

I kept getting nailed by the damn push-up ball.  It basically looked like the scene in Dodgeball where the dude from the ``I`m a Mac.``   ``I`m a PC.`` ads kept getting drilled. 

Nonetheless, our team, the Purple Cobras, won three games to two.
