WOD for Champagne Friday 9/27

PANIC BREATHING

This is a partner WOD. The team will perform a 500-100m row. Alternating one after the other, partners will perform time trial rows: 500/500, 400/400, 300/300, 200/200, 100/100. Every row is to be performed at MAX intensity.

While one partner is rowing the other will be “resting”. The “rest” is completed with two kettlebells in the rack position. The “resting” partner will rack the bells at the beginning of their partner’s row and will unrack them at the end of the row. Unracking of bells before the end of the row results in a 5-burpee penalty for every offense.

note time and move directly into


Another partner WOD similar to PANIC BREATHING. The team will now perform a running/plank combo. Alternating one after the other, partners will perform time trial runs: 5x100/5x100, 4x100/4x100, 3x100/3x100, 2x100/2x100, 1x100/1x100, while carrying medicine balls. Every run is to be performed at MAX intensity.

While one partner is running the other will be “resting”. The “rest” is completed in the plank position with a weight plate in contact with the glutes. The “resting” partner will only be on hands and feet with the butt no higher than head level at the beginning of their partner’s run and will safely unload the plate at the end of the row. Unracking of bumper plate, raising the glutes higher than the head, or any other part of the body other than the hands and feet before the end of the run results in a 5-burpee penalty for every offense.

At the end after calling time, "cash out" all penalty burpees. Post both times to whiteboard/comments/Cody.

Jo will race the 2013 World Championship Road Race in Italy 2:15PM local time Saturday or 5:15AM in Seattle. She has transformed herself from a track rider last year at London to road rider again this year. The race is 140 kilomers (87 miles) and includes 5 circuits each with a tough 4.5 kilometer climb and a very steep 600 meter climb topping out at a 19% grade. That will be right around a 3.5 hr WOD in CrossFit language! Hat tip to Jeff P for letting us know!

Turkish Get-Ups are amazing full-body movement requiring all of the physical skills (endurance, strength, flexibility, stamina, power, speed, agility, accuracy, balance, and coordination) to complete the task: stand up then lay down.
