9 Year Throwdown

Okay okay, some info for you lovelies. Well done, you have managed to survive the communication black out with only texting/emailing/DMing/carrier pigeoning me into an oblivion for the past few days!

All is to be revealed

The Intention
We are going to have a seriously FUN and very CHILLED out day of team fitness. Teams will be decided by us, at random and allocated at the briefing tomorrow (timings below). The events will run one after the other, with a “scoreboard” placed on the whiteboard and loosely updated as the day goes on.
There will be no prizes, presentations or podiums because…we do not give a f**k…it’s a FUN and very CHILLED day of fitness.

The adult exercise will be followed by drunkenness. In various forms and loosely coordinated by our two, newly appointed Social Hand grenades. Kirsty “I will drink until my trousers fall off” Lightowler and Cath “I get Splott drunk” Knapton. Please look to them for any after circular activities.

The Timings
ARRIVE FROM: 09:45
BREIFING STARTS: 10:00
FITNESS FUN BEGINS: 10:30
FITNESS FUN ENDS: SOMETIME LATER
AFTER FITNESS ACTIVITIES: 1 SECOND AFTER FITNESS FUN ENDS

WoD - Friday 14th February, 20120

WoD - Friday 14th February, 20120

In doing these hero workouts, I am exposing myself to things that I haven’t done in a long arsed time, running 10 miles as a part of a workout for example (I have actually never done that), something that 15 years ago I could’ve happily done before breakfast. Genuinely without feeling anything the next day.
That might be seen to some as a negative. I’m sure the 15 year difference hasn’t helped, yet what is more likely is that these days I am not a specialist. Which, is a big bonus.
Running, pull ups, press ups, carrying heavy shit a long way was my bread and butter. Being held in high regard as being “fit”, so much fitness was outside of my comfort zone! That is the beauty of CrossFit.

The smartest of the British Military know that, and, have embraced it. Likely propelling some seriously strong willed men and women into seriously tough folk!

Either all of that, or my Rhabdo has taken hold of me and these are my last dying words! Apart from…
