CFN will be closed as Stephen is travelling back from Aromas, CA. Regular hours will resume Tuesday.
For those of you craving a taste of CrossFit Games-style WODs, find the steepest hill possible and run 250m up and then back down. Rest exactly 5 minutes and repeat.
Post experience to comments.

Nice work out there everyone. Just got done watching videos and am fired up to workout right now. I’m pretty sure we had a nasti represent in the affiliate video from saturday.

Let me guess. The standard is kettle bell in a vertical plane with the hips?
Two things:
1. Straight street. That should be steep enough for the 2x 250. I used to run up and down that motherfucker all the time when I was going to UC.
2. I’m being sent BACK to Camp Shelby, Mississippi and maybe being sent home (or not) from there. Apparently my knee just needs ‘time to heal.’ I guess i’m cool with that.

Megs! You need a secret access code to get to it. Bring me a chipotle burrito to the gym tomorrow and I’ll give it to you. (light rice, steak, tomato, guac, and lettuce). xo

I just did the pullup marathon followed immediately by the GHD workout. That was good. I liked it. But I feel like a truck ran me over.
Pullups: 10x 3 45#weighted, 5~strictish, 7kips
Didn’t really count sets because there were lots.
But after the first two I’d say seven sets per round.
27:31
GHD Workout: 25x GHD situps, 30x Back Extensions
12:37
Only the first set of GHDSU unbroken.
All back extensions unbroken.
