It is so important to constantly challenge ourselves physically. We are people wanting to influence each other and others we meet along the way.
This is where we can get workouts for the day, track your times, pr's, ask and reply to questions and comments.

This is also where we will share what events we are participating in and opening them up to the rest of the team to take part in.

Farmers Market

Britt was on his own this AM... Back with JAX programing...
For Time:
2-4-6-8-10 Deadlift and Hang Power Clean (165#)
10-8-6-4-2 Front Squat and Ground to Overhead (165#)

Britt~ 25:37 (@ 145# & on his own)

Syd & I were on strength and WOD that does not disturb his shoulder...RECOVERING from an Injury and  rehabbing it is essential!!! Otherwise what good is all we do?!  Injuries should not PREVENT ANY of us from getting a good workout in...They just make us alternate/vary the weight and/or exercises...
Constantly Varied, Functional Exercises & Intensity must still remain the main theme of the WOD...
Didn't get your WOD in for the day, but picked 5 bushels of veggies from the garden...Then do it for time and it is your WOD ;) ...Didn't get your WOD in for the day, but waterskied for an afternoon...guess what...You got your WOD in!!!

Well...enough on that...Here was our WOD...

Squats...Heavy

Syd worked up to 345# for a 3 Rep set
tb worked sets of 5...got to 295# for a 5 Rep set

...then...

Take a mini break.....

AND check out what is going on @ the CSA!

Thought you guys/gals may be interested in some seasonal eats, recipes, and storing tips....  tis the season to eat local!  So get your butts going after the WOD on Saturdays and get to the Farmer's Market!!

http://inseasonllc-wildflowerhill.blogspot.com/2011/06/week-2.html

We are on Week 2 of our pick up....  BUSY but it is going really well!!

~V

Look @ This...

Tuesday was a REST day... or Camp Day... Whichever way you look at it.  We had last day of Line Camp and had kids over to UW-Oshkosh for an Option Clinic...So no WOD for us

Today...

Feidt did some sort of AMRAP (as many rounds as possible) within a time...He gave me no specifics, but had the trusty AM crew if Reeder and Bender to accompany him!  He was sweaty and tired when I got here, so it had to be good...  Going above and beyond (getting a second WOD in), Feidt and his wife ran on the track while the girls had swim lessons as well!!!

I was joined by some newcomers after the HS WOD of Pressin' 4 Strength

We did a new WOD:

Look at That!
800m Run
21 Thrusters (95#)
21 Burpees
400m Run
15 Thrusters
15 Burpees
200m Run
9 Thrusters
9 Burpees

Max Benitz (7th Grade) ~ 17:12 (10# DB for Thrusters)
Jacob Mancl (7th Grade) ~ 17:55 (10# DB for Thrusters)
Haley Biolo ~ 19:25 (45# Bar for Thrusters)
Drake Biolo (6th Grade) ~ 20:15 (10# DB for Thrusters)
tb ~ 21:15 Rx (Last Again!!!)

I actually was in the lead after the 800m...Then it was OVER!  Lots of work and sucking air by everyone during the WOD...And lots of fun after...They were pleased to beat an old man!

Two Rounds

FIRST...Great post Val...

I defiantly like to analyze the performance (time keeper)... I hope nobody take it the wrong way!  Just into that stuff...strategizing, gaming, transitions and things like that...rehashing the performance for next time...solidifying in my brain what needs to be worked on and where I will change things...

If anyone was severely disappointed in their performance...then they do not have the ANYthing Once CORE philosophy at HEART!!!  You are allowed to want to have done better, but thinking you would rather not have even shown up for the day is out of the question...
ANYthing Once Core Beliefs
#1) Community, Family, Friendship, Etc ~ Be a part!
#2) WE (very intentional) will give anything a try...but it needs to be done as a WE
#3) Train to be ready for anything...No specific training (at least not as the group)
NEW #4) Be a Honey Badger...(see Pre-Tri post)

Nowhere do we mention first place finishes or times...In fact that should not enter into any part of this entire thing until afterwards and then it is just for fun...If any of you really want to get better at swimming, a triathlon, marathon, biking, canoeing, etc...go for it, but the group is about MUCH more than that.

In the end... I am always pleased that I finished... But more pleased with the people that I did it with.  This (ANYthing Once, WOD's, everything) is NOTHING if not for the people (friends) we do them with.

In the end, that is what really matters...All of you

ReCAP:

Lets talk about a few things for a moment...  before I crash from my insane weekend!  After events what kind of person are you:  the time keeper or the content one?  Being the content one, you are sitting back or going about the normalities of your every day routine after your event just thinking to yourself that you were able to do something different, in a different place and it was fun.  Being the time keeper, well, you know what you are doing, comparing times, the amount of training you did or didn't do and how you could have done better.. maybe should have done better.  So, have you decided which one you are?!

After much consideration, is there really any place better to be than in between the two?!  Are times important?  Yes.  They show growth, change, and keep you really understanding how what you spend the other five days of the week working on is showing an improvement in the activities and events you decide to do!  Times and speeds are worth keeping track of but the treatment you may do to yourself about what you should have done really isn't worth it....  Being competitive is great and thriving from those around you is an asset to a good program but comparing in the end one's time to another is well, we have all done it, but lets face it everyone has good, bad, or GREAT days.... and at the end of the day the only demons you continue to face are your own. 
Being too content, now I don't know too many of these people... but it really is a lifestyle.  They too must find something that drives them.... atmosphere, environment, or maybe it is the surroundings of others that is just enough change for them.  Either way, challenging yourself to find that line between the two is definitely something to think about...

Happy Working Week to ALL!!  And keep up the Good Work!
