First off great event - Well planned, well organized and well executed!  I had gone into not knowing whether I would be able to do anything because my upper back was a bit messed up from TGU's and not knowing whether the team would have any events open.  I also made a last minute petition and got Susie in as well which made it more fun.

I ended up doing a lot more than I expected:

1. Max UB Pullups - Felt great just moving through them and thinking I could easily get 48. Not sure what happened as I went from fine to no grip and dropped off at 44.  Oh well
2. Floater -Teamed up with Eli on this one.  First round felt great. 2nd round it got a lot harder.  This really took a lot out of me.  Felt just like I did after the Norcal master events with running and KBS.
3. Susie and I teamed up on the burpee and wall ball wod. Short and fun
4. Oh My Hardio - Did the first 100 Dubs.  Shoe came untied on jump 1 - managed 65 UB with a shoe lace hitting the rope every time.  Our team did well even though I messed up
5. Ice man - Did Bar MU's - got 12 or 13 in 2 sets
6. Teamed up with Dougie and Jim and we did DLs @225 - did sets of 5 or 7

Coach Munchbachs Post Game Analysis
Team Qatar,
Thank you very much for the fun today!
I could not have been more pleased with everyone's efforts, patience, and participation.

Just as a quick recap...

• Cami T. – PR on unbroken pull-ups! Cami is nursing an ankle injury and was a great teammate today as most of the events were ankle prohibitive.
• Catherine – CLOSING SPEED on the shuttle run and tied a PR in the snatch event.
• Doug – Stayed upside down for 4:30 without passing out; also managed to do 46 HSPU in that time. Competed with John and Jim in the final DL event and put up a huge number... more on that in a bit.
• Ellie – Took a bullet for the team and completed the floater event (and completed her first ever sled push!) which helped us place first in that event!
• Eric K. – PR'ed his 500m row and tackled that gross 5min AMRAP abomination with Nick.
• Jim C. – Was down for anything. Nearly got 100 unbroken double-unders and competed with John & Doug on the deadlift event to lift a total of over 38,500 lbs. in 4 minutes.
• John D. – John did a massive amount of pull-ups, double-unders, and wallballs to help the team. His CrossFit career goes waaaaaaay back, so I'm not sure if he PR'ed, but who cares! It was a Herculean performance.
• Kathryn – Ran the 400m #NoOneLikesRunning and PR'ed her deadlift by 20 lbs.!
• Laura – PR'ed her deadlift by a country mile! Welcome to the 305 club, LC!
• Meghan – PR on her deadlift, did that gross 5 min thing with Nikki, then deadlifted again in the final event.
• Neil – PR on shoulder to overhead and also took a bullet for the team with a 400m run.
• Nick – PR on snatch and conquered the 5 min AMRAP with Eric.
• Nikki – PR on unbroken handstand push-ups and did 50 box jumps in record time; also was subjected to 5 min gross thing with Meg.
• Susie D. – Last minute add-in! Came out hot with a 500m row at 1:46 then held court during the wallball/burpee workout while in a tennis skirt. Two claps for Susie.
• Web – Dominated the 400m and 2x400m running events. PR'ed unbroken pull-ups. Then took another 400m run without complaint. Also did around 20 bar MU to help propel the team to a second place finish in Iceman.

Everyone stepped outside their comfort zone today, did more than they thought possible, and (I hope) had fun.

Baseline

We did baseline as an AMRAP last year with a first round completed time for a score and then total rounds.  Had planned on going head to head with Anthony but wasnt ready because my erg monitor was glitching so waited another minute to go.   Row went well but stumbled a bit on squats and lost a but of time.   The rest that followed were smooth. 

A) Baseline
500 m Row
40- Air Squats
30- Situps
20- Pushups
10- Pullups

Jack @ Acadia Ocean Instiute

Left Me Dizzy

4 Rounds

10 Quick Pulls
Sled Push - Pull

This completely kicked my ass. Im not sure why.  No power in the engine room on the sled.  Left me really struggling.


4rds after on the following:

10 Bent over rows @70lbs
10 KB Deadlift @70lbs
ME Pullups


I was ready to be done but Anthony wanted to run 1 mile with the weighted vest.  Even that was harder than it should have been.  At least I was wearing blue.  I like blue so that is a positive thing. Oh yet Adam Manchester PR'rd his Squat Clean. Nice work boss.

Mike Power Wod

You see how the wheels came off in the 3rd round?  I seem to be missing that extra gear.

Nancy

Big class so we had two heats. My expectations were low even though yesterday was a rest day.  My

My man Anthony was supporting me on the way on Nancy.

legs just arent snapping back.  The feel tired and Im still slowed down by some kind of issue in my right leg.   I remember when I looked forward to this wod.  My running is just not anywhere near what it used to be.    The first run felt good but I was disappointed it wasnt faster. I was hoping it would be a sub 1:40 but it was closer to 1:45.   That only meant the next runs would be progressively slower.   Good pacing but didnt break 14 which was my goal.

For Time: “Nancy” 5 Rounds

EMOM 30

Needed a workout that wasn't a complete beat-down but forced us to do some work.  I found this one online.

It looked pretty straightforward on paper but I knew I was in for trouble when Dennis had selected his weights and they were what I was planning on doing.   So I had to go up in weight.

1 Lunges - 40lbs
2. DB Thruster - 30lb
3 Renegade row - switched between 30s and 40's

This was way harder than I expected.  The reverse lunges were take me over 45 seconds and I missed by 2 in the last round.  Ouch

Abbate hero Wod

Big turnout today for a Saturday morning beat-down.  Chris Pucchi was in the house for what was is

going to be his last wod before he heads off to Vandy for Med school.  He will me missed.   I thought today the run would be enough to create some separation from Mr Kick My Ass Anthony Demusis. 

“Abbate”  For Time
* 1 Mile Run
* 21 Clean-and-Jerk (155/105 lbs)
* 800 Meter Run
* 21 Clean-and-Jerk (155/105 lbs)
* 1 Mile Run

Total time -  33:49

Well the plan was working for the first run where I started off at the front until the half mile mark where I was passed by Dennis.   We opened up a nice gap as we came in from the first run in 7:30.  I took my time on the first sets of C&J's and they were brutally hard.   DeMusis crushed them and was out the door and had 200m on me which is at least a minute.  He added to that in the 2nd set of clean and jerk and it was all over but the crying.   I was hoping to finish the last set of C&Js as Dennis and then draft off of him but that didnt happen either.   So I settled in and tried to minimize my losses.  At the turnaround Chris was gaining on me and my goal was to hold him off as long as I could.  I made it to Corner of Ames and High before he left me in his wake.    Need to do that one again when it isnt so hot. 

W


Well-defined methodology and  best practices – architecture, integration, and execution

Day 3 Carmel Run

Repeat of yesterdays route this time with Dennis.   A little faster every day.  Need to do more running.  The watch also picked up right from the start.

Day 2 Carmel CA Run

Slept in an extra 15 minutes and missed Dennis, so solo run.   Took a new route and its all good.   Misting and temps in the low 50"s

Day 1 Carmel Run

Dennis and I out for a short run.  Felt ok. 3 Mile run

DT Like WOD

5 Rounds for time @ 115 lb 15 deadlifts
12 hang power cleans
9 front squats
6 push jerks


Total Time - 17:40

I knew this was going to be horrible before I even began.   Even worse because Anthony was ready to go hard so he could crush me.   I resigned myself to the fact that was going to occur and focused on limiting my losses.   Next week will be an easy week with just a few runs and my body weight work.   

30-20-10

Havent been sleeping well, and have not taken a rest day in a decent while so I knew this was not going to be easy.   We had a big turnout at Craic Masters - Anthony, Steve, Jason, Danny, Dennis O, and Mark.

30 Thrusters 95/65
30 KBS 53/35
20 Cal Row
20 Thrusters
20 KBS
10 Cal Row
10 Thrusters

 13:06

I would have like to have gone unbroken or done 2 sets in the 30s and then unbroken.  That did not happen on the Thrusters.   Anthony opened up a lead on the rower and never looked back.
