CrossFit Road Trip ~ WOD 8, The Final WOD

For those of you not in the know, WOD is workout of the day. It was only fitting that this gem of a trip would end where it all began for Amanda and I - with CrossFit 180 at Lebanon Sports and Fitness. This trip was about so much more than the number of air squats or total pounds picked up. It was mentally draining, physically fatiguing and down right crazy.

We showed up, just in the nick of time for the final workout of the trip. We were exhausted and scared to death that we would not be able to finish it, no matter what it was.

With one final slam of the brakes and set of air squats to warm up, it was on.

180 WOD, 03-01-10
30 seconds Wall Ball
30 seconds Box Jump
Rest One Minute
10 Rounds, track your total.

Jamie:
Wall Ball, 10 lb for first 5 Rounds, 12 lb for last 5 Rounds - 130
Bleacher Step Ups - 131

Amanda:
Wall Ball, 10 lb - 143
Bleacher Step Ups - 131
And then, Let The Bodies Hit the Floor!
Lessons Learned:
It is time for a great big shout out to CrossFit 180. We don't know how you guys have done it, but the formula here is perfect. We saw alot of cool equipment while out on the road and we got some amazing feedback. But, with all of that said, we like our home gym the best. One thing that no gym has got on the 180 is the people. We missed you all terribly. Working out with each of you is an honor, and we just can't wait to sweat with ya again.
We went into this workout thinking it was the Final WOD. But, we realize now that it certainly is not. Life continues, WOD's will continue to face us, and we will continue to do our very best with each and every one.
The funny thing is, after it was all said and done, we both just want to do it again, Harder. And so, we will. Who is up for a 2011 CrossFit 180 RoadTrip? Sound off peeps, let me know what you would want to do, and why. What motivates you to take on the next challenge?


Please stay tuned for one more 2010 Road Trip blog post. We gotta share the funny stuff that happened along the way. I promise pics to tell the story well.
