Memorial Day is coming up soon!  As many of you have already figured out, per usual, we will be doing “Murph” for our Memorial Day WOD on May 28th.  This year will be a little bit different.  We will be limiting hours because it will be a holiday, but we will also be holding a 2 hour class/session in the afternoon as an Open House/Fundraiser.  We will have a class at noon on the 28th for those that would like to come and do the wod but will need to do it early.  However, from 5-7pm that day all are invited and encouraged to bring friends to perform the workout.  It is a fundraiser, so we will be asking for participation donations of $20 to go to “Memorial Day Murph.”   A link to the site is provided below, where you may see the various causes that your funds will go toward.  If you so choose, you may make your donation by registering on their site.  They ask $35, but you will also receive a cool shirt.

“What’s the Difference? My CrossFit Rampage!” from a member of CrossFit IoTA (UT).

Today’s WOD:

4 x 800m Run
*Rest 3 min between

Note: They should all be run hard.  However, the idea with these intervals is to hold a steady pace for each one.  Try to finish within about 5 seconds of your first run.  Avoid burning out on the first one and suffering through the rest, adding significant amounts of time as you go on.  In addition, do not sandbag the first couple, only to sprint out the last one in record time.

Then…

Tabata Situps
*Score total situps

Right after running in the perfect storm!  Brandon’s shirt is light grey usually.

“CrossFitters Are Crazy!!” from CrossFit Nation (MD).

“Yes, you can get hurt.  We are made of soft tissue and bone and sometimes we get hurt.  You can walk out your front door and trip on a crack in the sidewalk and get hurt.  Life is full of danger if you are out living it.” -Excerpt from above reading

“We Are Not Crazy” from CrossFit Santa Cruz (CA).

Today’s WOD:

“Chelsea”

Set up before a clock, and every minute on the minute perform 5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups, and 15 squats. Can you continue for thirty minutes? Twenty minutes? How about 10? Post results to comments. If you fall behind the clock keep going for thirty minutes and see how many rounds you can complete.

If you’ve finished the workout before this time add +1 to each exercise, i.e., 6 pull-ups, 11 push-ups, and 16 squats each minute, and see if you can go the full thirty minutes.
