It was just the regular Saturday good time




Like every Saturday we suited up, grabbed the gear and went out to Byrd Park. But this time we had these:



In an effort to attract stares of wonder or horror from the runners that beat the trail on Saturday morning we lugged the tractor tires and did exactly what we promised on Thursday:

3 rounds in Fight Gone Bad Style of
Burpees (ropes were too far from the pull-up bars)
Box Jumps
Tire Flips
Dumbbell swings
Pull-ups

The boys flipping those huge rubber rings around the park really intrigued our fellow fitness enthusiast. Most started running faster, away from us. Some stopped and asked questions, some even took the "What is Fitness?" packets we had ready for them.

We had a good size crew. Every week we have someone new show up while retaining everyone who has come previously. It was a good feeling to work out with people who left it all on the field.

Funny, this Saturday we didn't forget the camera. We had it, started snapping, and prepared to take some actions shots. Then it went dead. Low battery. Alas! At least we got what we did.


The scores looked like this:
Jake 256
Brandon 250
Matt 243
Terry (first time Crossfitting) 181
James 166
Chong 126
Robert 114

and in case you were wondering, active recovery took place between rounds, during the minute rest, when the team collapsed onto the floor and writhed, very rigurously, trying to deaccelerate thier HR.

We ain't playin with ya!
