Another Sunday Retest...
I like the way this works out...
We have all been improving when we ReTesT the WOD.
Britt actually got a full round ahead "the-day-after" as he was headed for skiing this weekend and would not be here on Sunday...
Syd is working on the Sunday-test only model...he has been "testing" some things thursday thru Sunday for his "one-time" test...
The bottom line is we are improving and having some fun as a group!!!
Trying something new, different...putting our names and scores "out there" for all to see!
It is a different feeling...testing...wodding...competing...
This is not just working out/exercising...like we do the rest of the year....
(this is better-FUN!)
Val rocked it with just 3 shy of 9 full rounds!!!
Leaderboard should be updated soon...
What would life be if we had no courage to attempt ANYthing?

Improvement!
Everyday we look for improvement in something.
Improved health, fitness, strength, knowledge, friendships, family, relationships...LIFE!
Always strive to improve!
Today was tough to get going...
So much energy gets spent on thinking of the OPEN WOD after we do it, I just want to evaluate, plan & stratagize.
(have i mentioned, i love this stuff?)
It gets tough to look at a WOD and just do it! Some thoughts:
Will this WOD affect my Sunday retest?
Will I be too sore?
Should I try to work on my form rather than WOD?
Warm Up & 13.2 Prep work...
2 Rnds for Time:
25 OHS (75#/55#)
20 Burpees
15 Power Cleans (135#/95#)
10 T2B
5 HSPU
Feidt ~ 14:20
Val ~ 14:58
Kate ~ 11:40 (feet up)
SimO ~ 13:04 (55/95) he gave blood 2 days ago as well
OZ ~ ??
tb ~ 12:54
Britt came in this AM and was not sure if he was going to try 13.2 again (he will be gone on Sun.). While I would not suggest doing a WOD 2 days in a row...this WOD & the next strategy "fits" well for at least attempting it (if you have to).
It did not take much convincing...
KEY #1
He warmed up for the entire time we did the WOD (20min or so)
KEY #2
Step-UPS!
KEY #3
DL...hips forward rather than low back pull!
KEY #4
He did it! Watch it HERE!
Sunday is going to be GREAT!!!
Val is going to get 8+ rnds...can she get to 9 (I think so!)
Syd will destroy this (DL is his absolute strength!)
I am pushing for 8 rnds...240 (8rnds) could be a big breaker.
Des has a serious shoulder injury that is going to take some time to get healed...it sucks! BUT she will be stronger than ever for next years TEAM that we will enter!
Improved health, fitness, strength, knowledge, friendships, family, relationships...LIFE!
Always strive to improve!

Friday = WOD
Saturday = Pre-Game/REST
Sunday = RETEST

Sunday...Retest!
Today we retested!
It was a great experience...I was loving the last 3 days of analyzing video, working to "pick-up" seconds on everyone's WOD.
This is stuff I love...strategary! I may have gone a bit overboard, cause I couldn't sleep...Not just thinking about the workout, but trying to evaluate everyones strengths and weaknesses...AND trying to figure where they could pick up some precious time.
Which was awesome, super helpful, and though very... psychotic (from what I understand...) this is how it makes us feel: more confident and definitely better prepared. Its like prepping for Friday night Go-Time!
MOST IMPROVED = Val...went from 150 reps to 154 (4 Reps of 100# Snatch!!!)
Close Second = Britt...went from 119 reps to 121 (3 extra Reps of 135# Snatch)
And Biolo.. did better than last time also!
One-Time Wonder = Syd...only tested today
Des & Ethan did Fran after we were done...
Even Bertagnolski joined in and did 13.1 WOD...
HOWEVER, he will not put it on the line and sign-up or get it on video... he is on video.. check the mirrors- he is the guy screaming.
We need to help him get past this & understand the quote at the bottom!
Here are links to our 13.1 videos & the CrossFit Open Profile pages:
Des ~ 112 Reps OPEN Profile
Britt ~ 121 Reps OPEN Profile
Syd ~ 118 Reps OPEN Profile
Val ~ 154 Reps OPEN Profile
tb ~ 151 Reps OPEN Profile
You can also look for us on the CrossFit Open Leaderboard
BTW ~ We now have a youtube page/channel alotta sweat (ANYthing Once)
The plan is to post some videos that we take when we do events...for now, most of our CF Open will be posted there...check the site weekly to see how we are doing! Words of encouragement are always appreciated!
Quote of the Day...possibly the YEAR!

On your 13.1 Score: Learn from it, accept it and move on to the next one. It doesn't own you. We do this for fun.
This experience, while only 1 workout into it, is proving to be (again) what ANYthing Once is all about...testing our limits, teamwork, support, trying new experiences, entering the unknown, putting it on-the-line, doing it TOGETHER!
