For the record, I like Shae very much. Though you wouldn't know it from what I put him through on Saturday.
The competition team from CrossFit Regina is doing some fundraising for their trip to regionals, and held a "Take on Team Titan" fundraiser this weekend.
For a small donation, you and a partner could challenge one of the team members in a short workout. The team member would have to do all the work, while you and your partner (aka the "non-elites") could share.
Warm up:
-one muscle-up
-Three minutes of Double Unders.
I had some counting issues, but think I ended up with 190. Or maybe it was 180. Off the start, I did 80 consecutive, which is a new PR for me. Of course, when I started up again, I couldn't do more than 4 in a row until I got my groove back.
Challenge 1:
Crystal G. and me vs. Shae.
2x200m run. Shae jumped the countdown and took off before the "Go" but I was able to pass him. Of course, he had to run twice as far and I didn't have to worry about pacing myself so I could sprint as fast as I could.
20 burpee jumps over box
20 toes to bar.
I don't know what the time was, but we beat Shae. That's all that matters.
It was close though. I thought he was going to catch us on the T2B.
Diversion
Kids Burpee Race vs. Shae. I was counting for my kids.
Because Shae tried to get the jump on me earlier, I was less strict about what constituted a "proper" burpee during this competition.
Challenge 2
Keenan and I vs. Shae
40 burpees onto 45lb plate
30 bell swings
20 wall ball
10 handstand push-ups
Keenan and I split all the work evenly, except I did all of the handstand push-ups.
For the burpees, we did them in sets of five, so we could maintain a fast pace. The bell swings went 8-8-7-7. Wall balls were in sets of 10.
We won.
As Shae lay on the floor, recovering from this workout, he was challenged by another team to do 2 minutes of thrusters.
I, uh, may have given them that idea. It's a good thing no one reads this blog, because I'd hate for Shae to find out.
