I would like to keep comments on this entry open so that folks can ask questions about watching the games at my place here if they wish.

Please keep negative comments about programming to yourself. If you don't like the WOD go do something else.

Comments will be closed if this persists.

I've been very happy with the live feed for the games, but was quite frustrated tonight that mens' heats 2, 3 and half the 4th were not available for archive viewing. Ah well - at least we could still watch Annie kick ass.

A note for those doing tomorrow's WOD: if you have any calluses built up, you might want to spend some time tomorrow morning filing them down - this will be tough on your hands. Also, hand thongs are very useful.

I tried a different games workout (Cleans/HSPU) with modifications:

AMRAP in 12 min:
3 cleans with 105lbs
4 static HSPU

5 rounds + 3 cleans

Then successfully cleaned 115lbs and attempted 125lbs (suspect I was a little worn-out from the metcon). Rather enjoyable!

Final event starting soon. Come on over and watch.

DNF w/a score of 162. Went on to complete all reps in about 30 minutes.

DNF scaled=20kg KB

1200m, 63 KB, 36 pull ups, 800m run, 28 KB

After the clock ran out ,and a rest, I did 14 more KB and 24 pull ups.

time ran out (24mins) at 13 KB swings in last round

I've been in the south bay with family all weekend, but I went to CF Willow Glen on Saturday. They too had us do the event 2a WOD, but they said to do it as a team of 2 so it was remarkably easier.

My brother and I did it as a team - 14:55 RX (except not really since it we were a team).

Fun WOD though! I kind of want to try it by myself now.

I'm very sad to have missed all of the games watching festivities.

Although I didn't finish, we've definitely been put through harder heavier stuff.

At 24mins, just finished the 400m run.
