WOD:

Rest day (aka Holiday Party recovery)

The 8 o'clock crew takes off at the start of the 12 Days of Christmas WOD.

12 Days of Christmas WOD recap:

Well, based on the fact that half of the 8am crew stuck around to watch the 9am crew go after this WOD, I would say it was a hit. I know that coaching the 8am crew got me really fired up to get after it. There were some amazing efforts and I witnessed several people conquering fears and accomplishing tasks that they previously weren’t able to. Here are some of the things that caught our attention:

Abby & Sue – We’re so proud of Abby for conquering her fear of jumping onto the box, way to go. Both of these ladies were jumping on and off the boxes and put all they had into their clapping push-ups. That’s no small feat.

Angela – What can we say, your commitment and tenacity always inspires. And to think, just a couple of months ago you were intimidated by CrossFit.

Scott – The big guy was essentially cranking out dead hang chest-to-bar pull-ups. Wow, that’s some serious strength.

Carmen – What was it you were saying about not being able to do overhead lifting? Love that you come in, don’t ask questions and just do. That attitude will continue to serve you well.

Cade – We’re so blown away by your willingness to travel all the way from Seattle to join us for a Saturday WOD. It’s a real pleasure to have you around, especially when you can flash a big smile in the middle of a WOD like this.

Here’s a breakdown of today’s results:
Scott – 44:32
Hal – 46:37
Caroline – 35:47
Emily – 38:08
Carmen – 41:56
Abby – 42:29
Chris (X) – 34:28 Rx
Brandi – 36:43
Cade – 40:50 Rx
Richard – 46:31
Sue – 47:02
Dan – 29:12 Rx
Alan – 37:45 Rx
Angela – 48:39

As much fun as that was, it’s time to get back to some short, high intensity work and some marathon prep work. Again, great job everybody, you all make this so much fun and so worthwhile.
