  • First Rx baseline- 6:54. Holy Ish, my squatter is still broken and my hematoma is staring angrily at me saying “what the hell is wrong with you, man?!”

    Second round was something like 10 mins.

  • Not feeling it this morning. Baseline (blue band) was 5:40-ish, about a minute off of my PR pace. Second round was a total sandbag. Coach’s Choice came in at 15 reps with a scant 75# bar. My lungs hurt.

  • Shaved 0:03 off my pr row. Added handstands to the accomplishment board. Didn’t beat my pr box jump. Was totally feeling the pullups. Wall ball cash out?  Not feeling it.

  • That’s a new level of evil, especially on my 5th consecutive day in…
    First: 4:22 (:14 PR)
    Second: 5:26
    Cashout: Really?  REALLY?!  I got 15, but I’ll let the format remain mysterious in case you guys are trying to torture the later folks. But that was dirty…
