Wednesday Waddle

All I have to say is this was the best water Wednesday in the colorful history of Thunder CrossFit. We had Nate, Charity and Eric join us for the first time in the water tonight. Way to be brave and join the pool. Yates we need you back in the water in your diesel speedo. Pohl, no more cherry picking. Its time to embrace the suck and swim some laps. Two part WOD tonight. The first part was an individual WOD that featured some of the longest swimming intervals to date.

WOD 1:

2 rounds for time of:
swim 100m
50 air squats
swim 100m
50 walking lunges

This one crushed the legs and made everyone waddle around like a penguin afterwards! The times are to the right.


WOD two was a team WOD and worked a different time domain. Sprints! We split everyone into two teams of five based on the first WOD and got after it. Each person had to complete five 25m sprints. Team members had to wait for the team member in front of them to touch the wall before the next person went. So it was one teammate in the pool at a time. There was adequate recovery time as the work to recovery ratio was about 1:5 but boy did it hurt. The last two sprints were a major suck fest and the lactic acid built up and the lunges had no chance to recover. The results are posted below. The team with the stars on it is team Boch (the winning team). I am predicting my team wins Hoover-Ball this Friday too. If you do not know what Hoover-Ball is, I suggest you show up Friday.

For time:
5x25m sprints
