WOD

"Griff"

For time:
Run 800 meters
Run 400 meters backwards
Run 800 meters
Run 400 meters backwards

Total Time - 14:31

Did this in the pool. 400m crawl, 100m backstroke, 400m crawl, 100m backstroke. First time I've done backstroke in many years. My turns were laughable - a dangerous trait for swimming. Definitely don't want to laugh while you're face down in the pool...

Thanks for rest day tomorrow!

Laughing while face down is only a good idea if you wish to inhale large quantities of water..this is not a recommended way to get your 8 8oz glasses of water a day... :P

Have you ever gotten the giggles while swimming? I have.

Yes... but I won't tell you what we were doing with the pull buoys or why we made our drag suits look like thongs.... ;)

I used to work at a YMCA and one day a really old man came out of the locker room and jumped in the pool naked. Apparently he still thought it was the 1920's or something and the YMCA was still all-men and allowed such things.

The women in the "Water Aerobics" class were pretty surprised.

PS- I was about 16 when the pullbuoy incident occurred... my wild and crazy swimming days are long gone...

I just got his attention in the pool, brought him a towel and explained the situation. I asked if he wanted a pair of swim trunks (we had them for sale, I was just going to give him a pair). He said he was sorry and that he was done. He seemed like he made an honest (a little senile maybe?) mistake but it was pretty funny.

Almost Finished Resting

15:00 minutes on the rower. Rolled it outside in the sun. 85 degrees. Felt great. Logged 101 calories - my rower doesn't count distance :( I am starting to feel refreshed and ready to jump back into the WODs. I almost did yesterday's - but made myself wait. I'll get in after the next rest day. Oh, I still feel the swim!

AMRAP in 10 minutes 100m sprint (25m out n back x2) 10 situps 10 supermans 5 rds + 50m Did this in the school basket ball/ volleyball gym. I was able to be barefoot on the wooden court. Very comfy. I had a little twinge in my back from carrying this front-loaded fat vest but it's way better than it has been.

AMRAP in 10:00 5 DL @ 215lbs 5 Burpees 5 Squat Cleans @ 105lbs 5 Burpees Total - 4 rounds huffing and puffing. Thanks to Charles for giving me this one on FaceBook. His suggested weights were 300 on the DLs and 185 on the cleans. I knew better than to try that! HA! Warmed up with OHS and pigeons. The OHS stuff with the bar and not PVC - time to be a big boy!
