So Carey and I went down to the grand opening of Rogue Toledo today. We had our 3rd team member cancel last minute so that kind of sucked. We got an alternate though so it was fine.

Here’s the details.

Carey is strong…She’s 5 foot nothing but busts her but. She’s got a 17 round Cindy a sub 9 minute Fran Rx’d and a 21 minute Angie. She’s getting the Oly lifts down pretty quickly and is coming along nicely in her strength work.

If she had a CrossFit nightmare though it would suredly involve wall balls..
What workout do you think she drew?? In true murphy’s law/CrossFit style she drew ‘karen’.  When I told her she thought I was kidding and had to see it for herself. She did great…got it in sub 9 minutes! (8:56 I think). A little note. If she would’ve drawn either of the other workouts she would’ve probably won as she can C&J 95 and only one other girl did Grace Rx’d. None of the girls did the rowing helen workout as perscribed. The gals that beat her at wallball were monsters (in a good way).

Me on the other hand, I was hoping for Grace or maybe even Fran…Be careful what you wish for though…Actually I didn’t get Grace but the times there were insane. Lot’s of sub 2:30 times that would’ve probably beat me. Owell. So I drew ‘Rowing Helen”

Rowing is a natural weakness for me because I’m short (5 foot 7) but I sucked it up. Did it in 11:17. Came in 3rd to a couple of tall lanky guys. The winning time was 10:37 I think. Not too bad for a short dude I guess.

The team workout sucked…

240 squat jumps
180 box jumps
120 burpees
60 pullups

Our time was 13 something but that didn’t matter. It was just for fun. The people down in Toledo were great and the chili was fantastic.

Here are some of the pics from our day in Ohio!
