Friday WOD:

I've had a couple of the girls mention that they were a little disappointed in their Filthy Fifty times as they were slower than the last time they did it, then followed that statement with "but this time it was Rx'd".  I wanted to let all of you who fall into this category know that you shouldn't be disappointed in this discrepancy at all!  In fact, if you did not do a workout as Rx'd then your time (in all honesty) doesn't count for crap in the grand scheme of things.  Your goal should always be to work your way towards Rx'ing every workout, once you are at a level that allows you to complete a WOD Rx'd that time then, by default, becomes your best time on that WOD.  An Rx'd completion will always take the leaderboard over a modified WOD and this stands true for your own personal leaderboard in your records.  So be proud of your accomplishment and celebrate your first ever completion of a very tough WOD Rx'd!!!

    This was courtesy of Steven Bunches. Thanks buddy. It was pain all the way. If anyone else has workouts that they think I would like down here, post to comments. Today is a rest day but tomorrow I will be back at it. I even scoped out a gym up the road. Not sure if they have any weights as all I can see is machines through the windows but I hope so.

  2. Who ever thought running 800 meter would feel so bad!?

    See everyone at 9am.

    Hey Chris, we did Barbara on holidays last year, if you have a park w monkey bars it was a good one.
    If you feel like more burpees we did the burpee situp ladder, going from 9 burpees+1 situp to 8 burpees + 2 situps all the way down the ladder and back up. It sucked!

    Have fun! We miss you at the gym.
