Just a friendly reminder to FIGHT WIF (WOD Induced Forgetfulness) 🙂
Our gym is like your second home – a place of awesome people working together to get fit and become bad asses. Be sure to take care of it as you would your own belongings.
– Be sure to take care and put away all your equipment.
– Clean up after yourself post-WOD.
* Don’t forget to throw out any used tape, waterbottles etc.
* Spray down your bars, sweat angels, etc.
* Control dropped barbells – especially if you’re using 10/15lb plates – lower the bar with control – SAVE THE 10s
* Avoid making be chalk messes. How to Use Chalk . If you do, be sure to spray it down or pick up up any messes.

Rx at 125#– yay! I always (seriously) wanted to be one of those people who takes forever in a WOD because they’re doing it Rx. Changed last minute from 115# to 125# and was glad I did although it was tough. Thanks for cheering me on Allison, EJ, and 11:00 class.

Queens 10K. Total time = 46:04, pace = 7:25.
Meh. First time running this distance. We got there a little late, so got stuck in rear corral, spent first mile or more fighting traffic on narrow course. Never found higher gear, though all negative splits, and felt stronger as race progressed. On a hot summer day, will take that as a positive, something to build on.
Did not plan to WOD today, but on return from the race I was in the neighborhood so . . .
12:12 Rx (DL @ 145#)
Row pace approx 1:50, step ups instead of box jumps
Look forward to try this again in a few weeks.
15:25 @ 115 with step ups. I should have gone a bit heavier but at least my form was consistent throughout the rounds. On top of that I intentionally stopped weighing myself when i started crossfit so i genuinely have no idea how much BW is for me. Need to get on that!
