Rest three minutes between.

500m row
10 pull-ups

10 burpees.

I think my time was 19:04. That seems like a long time.

Basement: 25 minutes of AirDyne

I'm getting fat again due to a weeklong AMRAP of stuffing my fucking face.  In fact, I'm eating trail mix as I type this, after having just eaten some sausage.

So I decided to hop on my AirDyne for 25 minutes.  

If I had a twin, here's what it would have looked like:

That's me on the left.
 

For the 25 min, I kept a good pace, but not balls to the wall.  The watts were generally in the 160-200 range.

CrossFit Regina: Hope

-Burpees
-Power snatch (75lb)
-Box jumps (24")
-Thrusters
-Chest-to-bar pull-ups


Round 1:
18 burpees
16 snatch
16 box jumps
16 thrusters
11 C2B

Round 2:
16 burpees

15 box jumps
14 thrusters
12 C2B


Round 3:
14 burpees
12 snatch

Total score: 211

It's funny, I was sore from the previous day's workout, so I did this with the idea that I wouldn't go too hard. But I've done this WOD in 2012 and 2013 and I beat both those scores.

Basement: AirDyne, Ball Slams, Ring Dips

For time, five rounds of:
500m AirDyne
15 ball slams
5 ring dips

Approximately 12:35.  I say approximately because I took a phone call right after the AirDyne in the last round.  I think the call lasted around a minute.

B-Squad: Rowing and Stuff

Three rounds:

250m row
30 seconds of single skips
30 seconds of box jumps
30 seconds of single skips
30 seconds of thrusters (95lbs)
30 seconds of single skips
250m row

Resting two minutes betwee

That's what I did.  Because I become a bit of an idiot as soon as I start sweating, I completely missed that we were supposed to do 30 seconds of push-press before the final 250m row.

So I did three sets of push press, resting a minute between.


Bonus work:

The Boy accompanied me to B-Squad, so I made him do a race to 20 burpees against me.  He won.
