Veterans' Day Shenanigans

Woke up this morning.  Hit my 5 am training.  Got ready.  Made my lunch. Drove to Birmingham.  Pushing on the office door.  Whoops – tried pulling on the office door.  Locked…wth?  Oh wait – my client’s office is in a FEDERAL building.  That means it’s CLOSED!!!  Sweet.  SHENANIGANS

So then the question becomes – do I drive back to Tuscaloosa, to drive back up to Huntsville tonight? Do I hang out in Birmingham today and head up to Huntsville earlier than expected?  Do I set up shop in a coffee shop, mooch their internet, and try to get work done?  The clear answer to all of this is how can I use this to get more CrossFit into my life – go hang out with Iron Tribe Fitness & Luan for a bit before heading up to Huntsville for the ADDFit v. Impulse Throwdown.  Love when things like this are so obvious.

Kevin Lowe, whose constantly kicking butt and taking names in this year’s Garage Game Series, trains with Cole Leighton out of Cole’s garage and aptly call themselves ADDFit.  These boys are truly crazy.  So when I got to Huntsville, I knew there would be some sort of crazy stunt.  The Throwdown:

Team Impulse (Kristin, Emily, & Josh) v. Team ADDFit (KLowe & Cole):

WOD 1: 

3 squat cleans.  Score = total weight moved by the team

WOD 2:

Max rep unbroken deadlift (2x bw for men, 1.5x bw for women)

Max rep unbroken pullups

Score = total reps by team

WOD 3:  Dizzy Bat Challenge

Spin around a baseball bat 10x with forehead touching bat.  Spring 100 m across a field.  Spin around bat 10x.  Throw a 1.5P KB across the field as many times as possible to reach the other side.  Turn around and forward roll across the field, opening hips at top of every roll.  Tag partner.

Each team will complete the circuit as many times as possible in 12 minutes.

Results:  WOD 1 & 3 went to Team ADDFit & WOD 2 to Team Impulse.

So much fun to watch their shenanigans, that afterward the spectators (including myself) broke off into teams of 2 and had to complete the Dizzy Bat Challenge as well.

Way to go Veterans’ Day Shenanigans.  Also, means will be up late doing work :P
