WOD 2: WINGMAN...Declassified.

(Time cap 11 minutes)

For Time: 100 Front Squats, 200 Calorie Row, 300 Double Unders. Total Score is time to complete all three movements. Three members of team will be moving at a time (one at each of the three stations). Fourth member is resting, and can be called in to assist and one member goes out to rest. 

Front Squats
SC: 135/95

Dumbbell Snatch
MS/SC: 45/25

This was brutal. The row was everything. We finished the double-unders first, then the front squats, and didn't quite get the row done. Everyone worked their ass off. Lots of strategy here - I just do what I'm told. Not sure how many people finished the row - but lots of different strategies were seen. The best was having someone on your team that was 8 feet tall. Throw them on that rower! :)

There were optional WODs going on throughout the day. These just gave you some more points

Floater WODs...Declassified:

Floater WOD 1: Jumpt It:

I was pretty proud of me and Holly on this one. Pistols are tough.
