3 rounds rx of the ohs and du, thanks to haircut inspection I had to leave prematurely but it was good to be back and get a little workout in anyways.

Adam said...

it was great to see a big crew this morning - welcome to Nick and welcome back Caleb and others!

3 rounds + 30 double-unders as rx'd

then

4 rounds + halfway down on Rd 5 for the STH. I ran out of gas big time, otherwise I would made it down the stairs to complete 5 even.

Smoker this morning...legs are jello!

Started the day with 6x800m repeats @ 2:48-2:55 with 1:30 active rest in between, and I hope to get to the WOD later today.

Mickey said...

Joe W said...

2 rds +15 OHS + 7DUs, then 4 rounds and 4flights up on on STH. rx.
Really enjoyed this workout!

Nate said...

3 rounds + 8 ohs, singles instead of double unders - still trying to get the hang of those.
5 and (small) change for the STH. Stairs were a good finish, though they definitely left my legs feeling like jello. Great workout!

JC said...

No weight room access today. So:
6x400m
95-93-93-93-89-91
Frustrating, because my splits for my 12:00 running test last week were faster.
Then 7 minutes of stadium seat running.

I also started French boxing tonight, which entails kick boxing.
