AuVest WOD 8/5/2009

Alex looking fresh while taking a relaxing break between rounds during "Imminent Death."

ANNOUNCEMENT:  This Saturday (8/8) the WOD will be a 5k run.  I'm posting this now because I want you to have time to find the hottest, steepest, ugliest 5k you can.  Ideally it should be steep enough to induce mild vertigo, and you should have to fight off a minimum of one wild, predatory animal per kilometer.

25-20-15-10-5 for time:
Pullups
Box Jumps, 24"

Post time to comments.

  2. i dont know who boosie girl is but she cracks me up. i have to work at the fire station saturday so i will just have to put treadmill on incline and maybe punch a fellow firefighter in the mouth if they walk by to simulate fighting wild animals

  11. Done on 8/10 (begging the forgiveness of the Auvestry MMA/BJJ workouts taking the schlitz out of my 39 year-old hide).

    9:59, as rx'd.

    Pacing was off. I thought this would be much harder and really eased into it and then realized that it wasn't going to be some kind of 20 min slog. Even still, calf pull from a few days ago came back on the box jumps (done to a pelican case stacked on top of my old foot locker - I think it measured a bit over 24").

    I'm playing catch up. Will get 5K and the power snatches done after court tomorrow.
