It was a rainy Saturday morning... Rain or shine, I knew it would be "on" and boy was it ever... the women's challenge was a kicker - a 2 mile run, that started with 150 team burpies, then included a stop for some KB swings, another stop for med ball tosses and nutritional questions - then off to the finish line. Envision rain and mud too.... I felt like we were in Portland and not Austin Texas! The rain and overcast sky actually made the event pretty freaking fun.
Then off to the gym for part II - a slew of toture:
75 barbell power snatch (45#) - easy brezzy
200 box jumps - no problem
175 ab mat sit ups - flew thru
100 pull ups - Chris, Mary, you rocked these out.
125 duo dead lifts @ 95#s - challenging, knee bruiser
150 jumping ring dips - simple enough
100 duo shoulder press (55#) - I HATE THESE
Run 400 - thank god.
My partners were awesome - I've really not had this much fun (and pain) in a while. Mary, Chris and I tackled the work out - and came in 8th of 20. Not a bad showing - we'd have been higher in the ranks if not for the much underestimated duo deadlift segment. The pink socks, damn we look good. Thank you ladies. Thanks to the awsome CrossFit coaches who were out there to cheer us on and show us that even the "housewives of west travis county" can be kick ass crossfitters.
