Good workout! I'd like to say that I didn't expect my arms to be as tired as they were! Did SUs...didn't time.

Also, I think Lance may be part Kangaroo.

We brought a couple of the French exchange officers in and put them through a warm up, some mobility, and 12 minutes of Cindy. Pretty awesome. Managed 9 rounds + 5 PU.

Then did 10 minutes of jump rope: 253 SU and 96 DU.

I had 100 DU @ 5 min, 200 @ 15 min, 300 @ 25 minutes... then at 29 minutes my Home Depot rope snapped. Glad it just flopped to the ground instead of lasso'ing the pullup station and carrying me away. I had doubled the extra cable back into the PVC pipe instead of cutting it off. I suspect too much friction for a free spin. Cable broke right at the handle and looks like it was cut by sheers. Speaking of cut, you'd think my hams affronted some Roman soldiers. Biggest DU lesson today was ... breathing. In the 200's I was only getting 1-2 DUs together. Then I decided to focus on actually breathing, and started getting strings of 10-15 again. At 29 minutes I had 324 DU and countless hundreds of SU. Great WOD!

Glad you beat the snow, Kay! Sorry I didn't get to say goodbye in person. Best of luck...there are quite a few REALLY great CF boxes your way...where are you living?

This is a MAJ Goat for me so after a 3.68 mile walk, I did 0:950x 1000 SU followed by an a@@ whipping 03:47x 100 DU's.

Kay: Glade to hear you made the RT safely woman! Thank you for the FAST response!! You rock mama, look forward to the updates & the info! : )
TY, B~

Made it to Virginia before the snowfall; will check out the Pentagon gym and see what kind of CF they have or lack. I miss IMCF already!
Brigitte- I'll email you the sweatshirt info in the next few days when I'm a little more settled.

18:42 - I did 400 DUs and rest in DUs. Switch throughout the WOD when my patience were shot, and my body was sick of the whipping I was giving myself.

I am getting better at these but I still have a long way to go.

23:15 for a mix of singles and doubles. DUs are improving as there are less welts on my shins today.

9:20 for DUs. Messed around with MUs, DLs and headstand pushups for awhile after.

Thanks to Matt J for the gouge on the homemade jumprope. Was at Home Depot this weekend and built it on Saturday...then Mon's WOD calls for 500 DUs, how fortuitous!

22:24...should have been faster, but I took some breaks that were longer than necessary. :-) Lance, I'd bow to your prowess of the DU, but my calves are too tight right now.
