Fight Gone Bad -- CrossFit Games Site Changed

We haven't done this benchmark workout in a while and its a perfect way to begin this week. I would like to thank Chris, Garth and Chelan for looking after classes for me Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. Coach Chris was dealing with either some food poisoning or a stomach flue.

It was also announced today that this summers CrossFit Games is now to be held at the Home Depot Sports Complex in Los Angeles. I am torn if this is a good or bad thing. The Ranch offered so much to the games with its terrain and small town feel, that will no doubt be gone now that its to be held in a 8,000 person Track stadium and a seperate 8,000 person tennis stadium. That being said this will increase the exposure of CrossFit so its kinda bitter sweat. So, if you have booked your plane ticket to SFO, you will want to change it to LAX.
Tech: 
Back Squat 5x5
WOD:
"Fight Gone Bad" 
In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. We've used this in 3 and 5 round versions. The stations are:
  1. Wall-ball, 10 ft target. (Reps)
  2. Sumo deadlift high-pull: 75/55 (Reps)
  3. Box Jump: 20" box (Reps)
  4. Push-press: 75/55(Reps)
  5. Row: calories (Calories)
The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. On call of "rotate," the athlete/s must move to next station immediately for good score. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point.
