Up to 165×5 for bench press, got 4 @170 but failed on #5, dammit!!! 5:11rx for the metcon. I felt slow on the runs after trying to rush through wall balls.

Way to get after it solo Laura and TQ!

Open gym was lovely. Did thursdays wod with 73# at 17:01 Thanks for the good company! Mike H is not soft as butter. Rather, he is hard as steel.

Nice job Dan! Date wods are fun.

@TQ Was the wall ball also in fact a found rock? Because that would make your workout even more interesting.

My ego needed a little boost after Andrea called me soft during the 5:30 A.M. class on Friday so I decided to tackle King Kong once again. After watching the Neslers duke it out I was inspired and enthusiastic – probably a little much so, as I tried to rush through the workout and missed a muscle up and a squat snatch in the third round. I managed to eek out just under 4 minutes at 3:57 Rx, which is a whole lot better than my previous time of 8:20 in November. Still, things should have gone faster as I finished round two by 1:40.

Afterwards, bench 3×5 @ 265. All in all a nice little Saturday at open gym.

Bench 5-5-5 at 95, 100, 105, 110×1
WOD: 6:03Rx. The Neslers went head to head during open gym. I was put in my place. Nicely done, Dan.

4:53 Rx*

* did the wod at a park with a tree as my wall ball target. Was it ten feet high? Who can say… Was it actually sixty meters? Perhaps it was seventy. Perhaps it was fifty. One thing is certain, however: my legs are cooked. Short sprints are great!

up to 68# for the 5X bench press. Could only get through 3 rounds of the WOD. Sinus infection = not breathing = not a good day for a lung burner of a WOD.

150 burpees: 15:46

That time included stopping several times to try and figure out a way to not get rug burns on my knees. Note to self: carpet + burpees = BAD

Bench 5-5-5 at 160-165-170.
WOD 5:30 Rx. Felt really good today, and I beat Alison, which is a rare occurrence. So I have that going for me.

I am at my parents’ house in IL and I am about to do 150 burpees. Okay, I am procrastinating from doing 150 burpees, but by announcing it here, hopefully I will actually do them within the next hour.

Also, spellcheck is telling me burpee is not a real word. Therefore, I’m pretty sure that means they don’t exist and we should never have to do them again, right?
