9 rounds even with super scaled weights and 20″BJs. Sam noted I only had a 2% failure/collision rate on the jumps.
I feel so good doing hero WODs. In your honor, Sgt Martin. Going into the weekend stoked.
Good luck in the race, CFF Endurance!

10/8/10: 8 rds + 6 Rx
7/22/11: 6 rds + 5 Rx
10/5/12: 9 rds + 7 Rx
3rd time here. I think the heat from July ’11 killed my score. Happy with this output today. Next time I’m aiming for 10 rds +
Oh man, I needed this today! A long AMRAP after a month of weddings and eating junk food felt good!
7 + 20 @ 25kg, 16kg, and 20″
Jack – 10+3 Rx Woke up with a major case of the don’t wannas…glad I fought through it and got to the gym. Finishing round 10 was pretty gnarly.

12/2/11 – 7+15 with 25kg PP, 16 kg swings and 20″ box
10/5/12 – 8+10 with 20kg PP, 16 kg swings and 20″ box
(reduced the weight due to a nagging shoulder)
In your honor SSG Martin
Max box jump: 36″ – I am so into jumping up onto things now! Simple pleasures.
WOD: 10+11, 20k bar, 16k KB, 20″ box. Getting a ton of rounds was fun, but I look forward to doing this one again with more weight and less wrist and shoulder drama.
Max box jump: 33″ yeah!!!
WOD: 7 – 25kg, 20kg KB, 20″ box. I was completely smoked before I even came in, so I’m amazed I even did that well :)
It was my last class at CFF – for now anyway. You can find me at CF Bridgewater from here on out. Sappy email likely to follow.
I miss you all already! :(
9+9 Rx
