Check out the main site (http://www.crossfit.com/) today and watch the Iceland CrossFit Anywhere video - you will see someone proudly rocking a Black and Gold CrossFit t-shirt in Iceland! Anyone know who that is??? AWESOME!!!!!!
For today's WOD - Strap on your reflective belt and come and report to the '62 room.
25 x Ground to Overhead (115/75)
Run 1 mile
10 x Ground to Overhead (115/75)
NOTE: For Ground to Overhead the bar starts on the ground and you use whatever method you'd like to get it overhead with arms fully locked out - clean and jerk, snatch, squat clean and thruster, etc.
NOTE2: The 1 mile route is from Arvin to Kozcuisko Monument and back. Watch for traffic & wear your reflective belt!
NOTE3: Scale weight as needed. This workout should be challenging, but if you find yourself staring at the bar for extended periods of time, then drop some weight to maintain intensity.

Elizabeth
21-15-9 reps of:
Squat clean (135/95)
Ring dips
NOTE 1: Scale as needed. High rep, high weight squat cleans are tough! Try to maintain intensity and not spend a majority of the WOD staring at the bar (or rings)
NOTE 2: If you reach muscle failure on ring dips you can either use a band to assist, do jumping ring dips, do regular dips, or do push-ups. Regardless, complete all the reps!

Team WOD:
In a team of 3 -
AMRAP 15 (Note - we scaled it back from 20 mins to 15 min based on time available and challenge of the workout):
Person #1 - Row 500 meters (or 45 strokes on a machine w/o display)
Person #2 - Deadlift (225/150) [max reps while on station]
Person #3 - Sit-ups (APFT standard, use something to anchor your feet) [max reps while on station]
The person rowing sets the rotation pace - once they are complete with 500 meters, they rotate to the next station and team members rotate to the next task. The next team member rows 500 meters and then rotates. Pretty simple concept, but tracking your team score may prove to be challenging - figure out a system for your team and then get after it.
The goal is to complete the most work in the least amount of time (i.e. max power!).
NOTE 1: If you don't have 2 friends to work out with, then start with Rowing 500m, see how long it takes you, then use at as your rotation time for each station.
NOTE 2: If we don't have the right number of folks to make full teams, then we will figure it out.
NOTE 3: If your team uses the rower in the '62 room, then you have to do walking lunges between stations in order to even out the time advantage you have over folks who go to the other room.
NOTE 4: If all the rowing machines with digital output are in use, then sub with 45 strokes on the rowing machine without the display, it should be close.
NOTE 5: There are no more notes...less rules, more work!
