Looks like the morning classes will be modifying this one, on account of the rain…
I’ll have a few fun run-subbing options for you to choose from, but you’ll have to show up to find out what they are!
I’ll be there just so I don’t have to run!!
Could a sub be Nate?
Lat monster comin’ for ya! ???????? ????
I predict a lot of “rest days” tomorrow
REST DAY! no way my hands could handle this today anyway.
Matt I heard people had trouble showing up in the morning today? https://www.theverge.com/2016/5/2/11565732/dwayne-the-rock-johnson-motivational-alarm-clock-app
1,000 meter row = 800m run?
OMG EVA is my favorite! Old school CrossFit high volume workout! I’m bringing my rain jacket and running rain or shine at 6:30! Maybe I’ll scale to a 400m run though.
So this is actually Kim. And yes, I fully intend to scale the F out of the run.
I threw up a little doing this workout.

What a trop-ical day… Get it? Eh?
Got through 4 rounds in 43:35 rx with the mod for run in the first round (60 lateral KB jumps, 40 lunges, 20 box jumps) and then put the jacket on and did the runs the rest of the rounds.
Two torn hands ✔️
Probably late for work ✔️✔️

Strategy, enjoy myself… result: success!
A little bit of walking up those hills, broke up the swings and pulls into 3 sets after the first round.
Feels like I’m sweating pure h20, my body has been purified in the CrossFit fire

RX
Goal was to not rip my hands. Fail. Ripped both hands in two places each. Am I doing it wrong?
Probably not. I think Ockham’s Razor applies here:
We don’t do more than 100 pullups very often, and our hands are not well conditioned for it.
If you want to avoid ripping, spend a lot of time on the bar and rings, and your hands get pretty tough. You can also try mixing up your grip between your palm and the base of your fingers. And using less chalk may help. But rips happen sometimes anyway.
I used to use a pumice stone/clip off dead skin. I don’t anymore, I think that stuff is overrated. I’m sure someone is selling a $60 CrossFit hand care kit online.
There are a thousand articles about this issue online. Why??? Imagine if all those bloggers had just linked to a prior article… They could all have done Eva, or learned how to play a new sport, or donated blood!
I ripped today too by the way. A shallow one on my left palm. Dr. Liz gave me some miracle salve.
3+800m+ 5KB swings rx
3 + 833, ran in the rain, 20kg
