050911 WOD

Hey everyone! I'm back from the land of mountains, cheddar cheese, and maple syrup. I've survived Tough Mudder Mt. Snow 2011, as did my whole team. It took some time, but we were able to rough the multiple slope climbs, 34-45 degree water (5x), electricution, mud, snow, fire, walls, and all around demoralization. This was by far the most difficult and primal thing I've ever been through. Next year I will definitely be re-registering and expect an army of CrossFit Grotonites to join me in the charge.

And onto the WOD. We're gonna jump back onto the mainsite bandwagon for a little while. I think its healthy to use it as a steady guideline and detour from time to time to hit some fun and creative workouts. That being said, the workout of the day is...

AMRAP 20 minutes:

5 Chest to Bar Pullups
10 Wallball Shots 20#, 10 ft. target
15 1.5 Pood (55#) Kettlebell Swings

Sounds like fun...

This was the warmest of all of them. The others had constant water sprayed into them or bags of ice dumped into them to keep them just above freezing. All proceeds went to the Wounded Warriors Project. Good times!
