7/11 (free trial!): Somewhere around 8 minutes, with the maximum amount of equipment possible – a medicine ball butt target for squats, knee push ups, green (and possibly purple) bands.

9/28/12: 6:37 RX

FS: 115 kg. A 10 kg PR for me, so I was pretty psyched about that…

… then there was the baseline. The tale of my baseline goes like this:

Baseline 7/10/10 (first CF workout ever) – 16:55 knee push-ups and green band pull-ups (most of which was spent lying on the floor, trying not to pass out or vomit all over myself)
Baseline 8/18/10 – 7:08 green and purple pull-ups
Baseline 5/9/12 – 5:36 Rx
Baseline 9/28/12 – 5:48 Rx – Was hoping for a sub-5:30. Felt stronger on the row this time, but really struggled with the push-ups and pull-ups. Next time!

FS – 155kg new PR by 6# (335-341#)!

Baseline – 4:47 Rx First time doing the baseline strangely. Totally shredded what I thought I would get. AND got my first full 500m row under 1:30 @ 1:29.9!

Great day all around.

Congrats to Hudson on getting 100kg on his FS too!

didn’t do the front squat for obvious reasons. mainly bc of my knee though but I did go for Baseline today to try and ease into squatting again! Even with slow air squats from the knee managed to beat my old score of 5:24 by 20 seconds for a 5:04 time

Two seconds off my PR. Great to see so many awesome times in the 6am.

Good luck to everyone competing this weekend!
