SkidSteer pull ups

Lots of Challenges:
Hills are awful... just awful.
Railroad ties are a bit tricky to grasp and with gloves it is difficult to squeeze those fingers in under.
Hips are great with tires and shorts may fall with this kind of an object in farmer carries.
The grip you need for skid steer prongs is not even close to the usual pull up grip: in turn, grab hold however you may be able to make it work!

In the end: WE did AWESOME!!

This was FUN.
Yes, it was all day and it was rather warm.  BUT SUPER FUN.
Traci, Desi, E, Trina and Grace were the super troopers of the day.
Cheering us on, making sure we had water, and being beyond positive and excited for us 4.
That is what makes it that much better, having them there!
After the first WOD... I'm not sure what everyone else was thinking but for me it was more around the thought process of holy crap, just make it through this day!

*This is something we should do... a challenge that involves the everyday work you do.
So much different than the 5k, mud run, bike race, or obstacle adventure.
AO will definitely represent next year with a few more members!

*There is nothing better than being around a group of people that want you to do well.  When you look at the others that were there or came with another... WE were the loudest group coaching each other on and encouraging each other in a way that was helpful!!  Who would've thought to work pull ups from your wrists vs your grip, great call B!?!

*All of us, doing what we do, makes US better.

They want us to do pull ups from where!?

This is a nice one...

Yes.  This was unexpected!!
E says, "It did kind of surprise me too."
V says, "Me too, especially after my first WOD!"
E says, "No, not that you placed.
But that they had podiums for you to stand on."

Now, this is more like it.
