CrossFit Road Trip ~ WOD 4, It's like going home

Amanda and I could not have slept better on Thursday night. CrossFit Road Trips cure insomnia. We got ourselves up and at 'em early so we could head west young man. We were aiming for a workout at CrossFit Clarksville, and it turned out to be just like home – literally. Clarksville is the rock that Jamie crawled out from under mmmfffmmmfff years ago. And, for those keeping track of the geographical mishaps, yes we had issues again. And, we handled it, again. Practice, practice, practice.

Rick and Dymphna run a CrossFit Affiliate out of their home. They do an outstanding job of welcoming in crazies like us, and they even had Natalie take some photos of our workout.

They use programming off of Main Site, so Amanda and I chose to do the 180 WOD.

300

10 Wallball, 10 lb

10 KB, 25 lb

10 Box, 12 inch steps

10 Rounds for time.....

Jamie finished in 14:5? and Amanda took just one minute longer. Here is what is so way cool about this. We were so tired and sore and mentally beat down that the idea of doing this was completely outside our minds. But, we did it. Natalie kept score for us – thanks doll! She cheered, and coached, and snapped oodles of pics. Quite the helpful hero. There was another Clarskville CrossFitter who also took some pictures. We have snaked them in through out this post, but did not identify which camera took each shot... sorry y'all.

Once the horror had come to an end, Amanda landed flat on her back and caught a most lovely sweat angel.

Lessons Learned: Home gyms rock! The atmosphere was totally different. The level of intensity is truly your own. No big group to provide engery to feed off of - you are on your own to muddle through and finish the job.

Then we jumped back in the car, and headed south to 'Bama Baby! How much is Huntsville gonna hurt? Bring it!
