heck yes. i said i would sub ten it, and i did. though, looking at the video, i can see where i probably could have been less of a pussy, stopped staring at the bar hyperventilating, and just picked it up.

previous prs:

today:

pc- 4:16*
hm-(65lbs) 23:07
rm- (?lbs) 14:06


* during the course of the WOD, the squat rack I use to do pullups on walked itself off of the mats on the gym floor. the attendant attempted to help by REMOVING the weights from the rack and that only resulted in more wobble. I dismounted at one point to try and ask him to stop, costing me time...but further, after video review, I did only 8 reps on each of the exercises for the 9 round. I look at it as a wash, and believe my time would have been about the same had none of that gone wrong. either way, denoted until i can match or beat it...with a happy little *.

Quantifiable Results.

The best way to look fit is to actually be fit.

After 300 Days of commitment to my CrossFit template, 4 weeks with almost no refined sugar, and 4 days shy of my 28th birthday, I am argueably in the best shape of my entire life.

the lunge area has only been about 15m each time weve ever done this due to equipment issues. this is the first time i've performed the entire WOD with a 24" box, and i consider it a new PR because of that, even though it's a lower round count, it's a higher power output.
