On-Ramp Day 3: Meet in the 62 Room of Arvin at 0530. If you are new to CrossFit, this is your last chance to get in on THIS On-Ramp Session. A minimum attendance of 8 out of 10 sessions is required before you can start participating in the regular workouts. If you have already missed one day of training, we hope to see you back for Day 3. This is an amazing opportunity that would costs hundreds of dollars in the civilian world so come check it out!
Regular Class: Meet in Crandall Pool at 0530 (on the pool deck by 0535 allowing time to change into appropriate swim attire). Cadets are required to wear the black issued swim suit/trunks. Goggles and swim caps are recommended.
WOD: 10 Rounds for Time of:
Swim 100 yds (one length of the pool is 25 yds)
Rest 2 minutes
***Note: I know some of you might be thinking...I do not like to swim, or I am not good at swimming. Remember that one of the major concepts of CrossFit is "constantly varied" so you need to constantly change it up and try new things. All of us have a natural tendency to avoid our weaknesses or the things that we do not like, but if you avoid them, you will never get better. We always need to remind ourselves to face our weaknesses and strive to get better. This is a great opportunity to do that if your first impression when you looked at the blog was "I don't want to swim." Swimming is also a critical skill to have as leaders in the military, as some of you have already learned in the Survival Swimming course. You might not like to swim, but what is going to happen when you are put in charge of your unit's Survival Swimming program as a Platoon Leader and you are required to teach your Soldiers how to swim?

We had a grand total of 4, including myself. I cut the rest to about 1 minute, going on the nearest top or half closes to a minute after finsihing my 100. Averaged a 1:30 100.
