The Bear

5 Rounds BB Complex

6 - DL-Row - H power clean - F squat - P press - B squat - P jerk

I always love doing these.

65lbs
75 lbs
85 lbs
90.5 lbs x 4 dropped on the 5th

I still finished the 90.5 because I like the extra work then continued with the 95 lbs, I didn't do these continuously either but I can't remember how it went. When we were finished Jill and I threw 100 lbs on and did two singles just for fun. It is the behind the neck push press that I have to drop it on.

They all felt good and me legs were shaky at the end:)

Leanna and I on the Rower!!

500m row
50-ab mat weighted situps 25lb feet anchored
500m row
50- K2E
500m row
50-ab mat weighted situps 25lb feet anchored
500m row
50-K2E

we subbed leg throw downs for KTE's because we don't have a bar just yet. I know that KTE's are way harder and those leg things felt like they were against crossfit morales and just plain retarded. We didn't know what else to do though but we did get full ROM!

Oh that rower!!

5 K





Today John and I ran 5 K for time. I haven't done much running in a long time, I used to do it a couple times a week. Anyway, it felt really tiring today especially the end. I was trying to get under 27 minutes so I went as fast as my body would let me from 25 minutes on. Agghhh!!!

John's time: 22:31
Hollie's time: 27:21

Couldn't Make Class

Couldn't make class tonight as Chad's soccer practises have started up:( When I got home I did 150 thrusters with 2 x 15 lb weights 8:15. I thought it was going to be a piece of cake until about 12. Managed first 25, then broke up into 15's, 10's, ending with many 5's. Had to make the breaks quick though as time was my enemy, Wow!!! When finished I did 120 sit ups.

Cheers!!!

Full Hour

3 Rounds

Row 30sec on/30 off 4x

2min: 5 burpees/5 Single arm db swings40/30lb

Row 30sec on/30 off 4x

2min: 5 deadlifts 135/95lb/10 jumping lunges

Row 30sec on/30 off 4x

2min: 5 front squats 135/95lb/5 tuck jumps

This wod was a full hour of work if you worked it out properly with a short 30 second break between the rows. The end of the first round and the beginning of the second round were tough but the second wind kicked in after that then it was full steam ahead. The front squats were my weakness on this crazy b%^&h!!! Oh the squats!!! It was great working with Michelle, Chad, and the crew as always.

The Ladies!!!

What a weekend!

- Fran -

The Haglunds, de Boer's and Jessie met up at the Haglund's for this young lady on Saturday.
This was my third time and PR for Fran at 6:19. I know I could go faster if I could just get more pullups in a row:) That will be what I work on. I need a different approach on the swing/gripping. That being said, I enjoyed cheering everyone on as much as doing it myself. So many great athletes helping each other through such a nasty b*&^h. Sweet new pullup station at Haglund's.

- Helen -

Back to the Haglund's for Sunday's date with Helen. Now, for me, this was a nastier b*&^h. Those runs that I thought would have been the break, were actually the worst part. Three 400m runs and it was hot at high noon:) My time was 11:09. My hands tore open on the kettle bell swings but luckily the adrenaline was going good so they didn't hurt much until after. I went at the same time as John and I could here everybody cheering for him when he was finished and I still was on the last 200 m of the last run. Oh, how I wanted to be in his shoes:) Got 'er done.
Everybody was focussed and worked hard. What a dedicated bunch. Thanks Haglund's for having us we had a great time.

- Grace -

30 Clean and Jerk @ 85 lb for time.

I watched Chad do this first, he made it look easy, so I went it to Grace with confidence. I did 20 lifts in 2:30 with my bar falling apart for the last 3 or 4 lifts, to the point that I couldn't lift the left side up anymore. I had to stop for a full minute ( Jill timed) to fix the bar enough to continue. My time ended up being 3:30 after subtracting the minute for the fix up. I can't count this as my true Grace time but I look forward to doing it again shortly.

Again, thank you to the Haglund's and my de Boer family for such a great long weekend. Also, thank you to Jessie, Brandt, Jeff, Ruth Ann and family, Riley and Jill for spending parts of it with us. You all Rock!!! Can't wait to our little Haglund ladies again soon:)
