LEADER BOARD OPPORTUNITY!

Last time we did it.  9/25/08

Whichever of Kathy, Debbie, Letha, Kristine, Michelle or Eric gets the most points (improves on the last time we did it) wins coaches challenge badge for their profile.

Improvement of a width of a band = 20 points
Improvement of a round of running = 10 points
Improvement of 2 pull ups = 1 point

A couple things:
  • I'm back - its good to be back! 
  • New equipment scheduled to arrive Thursday afternoon!  Woot!
  • Still looking for a good logo.  I was thinking that a duck doing crossfit might be a fun idea.  Could be similar to the pukie picture or the pictures on rivalart.com  with some rings/olympic bars....   I don't know??  I'm not an artist. Post ideas to comments!
  • I'll be passing out a survey within the next couple days.  Included will be some questions on opening a new time slot 3 or 4 times during the week.

Five rounds for time of:
25 Inverted Burpees
25 Pull-ups
25 Burpees

Post time to comments.

Modify this one however you guys need to.  I've never done a workout with inverted burpees - if I was there I'd probably figure something out (but its going to be hard without wall space)  if you guys come up with something, great.  If you guys want to do something else, thats fine, just be really safe.

Push-press, 75 pounds (Reps) (women 45#)
Row (Calories)

In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute.The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. On call of "rotate", the athletes must move to next station immediately for best score. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point.
