Karen

Today we did a classic girl WOD: Karen. 150 wall ball shots for time. The task is simple. Completing the task is not as easy.

Karen is a classic example of working from the core to extremities. A tight core, with powerful hip extension drives the medicine ball up, then the shoulders propel the ball upward to the 10 foot target. After receiving the medicine ball the hips move into a squat and then powerfully drive up through the heels. In short, the legs, shoulders and lungs get burned on this WOD. Here are the times:

Pohl 6:27 (18#)
Brieg 7:00 (20#)
Connor 7:27 (25#)
Drew 7:48 (15#)
Pyne 8:21 (17#)
Justin 8:30 (11#)
Courtney 8:44 (9#)
Melby 10:37 (20#)

Solid effort by everyone, especially for those who were feeling the soreness from the pushups and deadlift extravaganza yesterday. Tomorrow the legs get a break and we will be in the pool for some interval training. Your arms are going to feel like they will fall off after tomorrow night, but that is a good thing.
