May CrossFit Internal Throwdown

This kind of stuff is normally reserved for my other blog, the Bailey Fitness Blog (which, on an unrelated note, is the most boring blog name of all time, and I give all of the credit to my darling husband who came up with that name when we BOTH were keeping the blog... now that's just me on there, I feel the need to spice it up a bit!)

Anyway, but this event was just way too much fun and there were way too many awesome pictures of me in all of my badass CrossFit glory!

So, these were the workouts (we had 3):

 “ The 3 Amigos” 
Row 3K
Switch every 250 meters + 5 Burpees

1 Rep Max Clean and Jerk 
Your team has 6 minutes for each member to establish a 1 Rep Max Clean and Jerk

La Fiesta 
9 x 150 meter, medball runs – each member has to run 3 times
then…
3 Rounds of Pull Ups – Chest to bar, kipping, jumping
20-15-10 reps
Then,
3 Rounds of Push Ups – Chest slap, regular, knee
20-15-10 reps
Then,
3 Rounds of Box Jumps – 30, 24, 20″
20-15-10
 ** Each team decides how many reps each athlete will do (example: C2B can do the 10 reps, jumping can do 15 and kipping can do 20)

This crazy activity above was some pre-workout hand slapping going on between me and my teammate Scott A.  You can see our super tall (6'8") teammate Rich P. behind us. 

Above, I'm working on a 75 or 80# clean here- which I just finished and now I'm about to start the jerk portion of the lift.  We totalled 400# on this WOD and came in 10th out of about 43 teams!

The next workout involved rowing and burpees.  Thankfully the burpees weren't too tough, but I'm a terrible rower.  Thankfully both my teammates made up for my terrible rowing and we came in 5th place!!  Both of these guys are tall and have long arms, so rowing is much easier for people like that!

This is my favorite picture of me above.  This was during the "running with a 14# med ball" portion of the third WOD.  This was our worst showing, but by this point, I think we were all pretty tired.  We came in middle of the pack (20th or so).  If you think I'm bad at rowing, you should see me running with a 14# med ball!  If you think that is a look of pain on my face in the above picture... well, you would be right! 

Me and my teammates pausing for a mid-WOD photo shot!  This was really so much fun- it was comfortable being at our home gym with ONLY CFNE athletes there.  I hope Ben decides to do this again, because it was really fun!
