To be honest, this was really hard. The combination of the early morning, fog and cold weather really made it hard for our bodies to wake up and breath. I felt so heavy, like gravity was trying to bring me down. As the rounds went on we got less groggy but all in all it was brutal. During my second 800m I thought I was going to make a bad time. My body felt tired and slow. When I finished and found out I was only 2 seconds off my previous time, I was surprised. In better conditions I think I could run 800m much faster. As for the final 200m sprint (I use the term sprint loosely, a sprint for me is equivelant to a backwards jog for most athletes), I can't go any faster then I did at my current fitness level. I ran as fast as I could the whole time. I never let up. I am just slow. To decrease that time I would have to work on my technique, which, definitely needs work!

Yikes. During this WOD I wanted to quit, after it I was so proud that I finished. Its a smasher, hands down. No way around it. There is nothing in this WOD that you can fail on, nothing too heavy, nothing that requires a lot of rest. You're just constantly going.

I went first and had to endure the filthy stench of a large black man or his sexy latina girlfriend's flatulance. It screwed up my breathing. My brother went after me. The whole time this dude wass using leg press machine after leg press machine after hamstring machine, acting like he was advanced, giving his girl pointers and knowledge on proper ways to lift. Around Collin's fifth round of "Cindy", the dude loads up 4 or 5 (does it really matter??) plates on each side of the leg press machine (let me do the math, subtract the amount of weight that is supported by the machine and ground....he is essentially pressing 150 lbs on a guided machine with no use of stabilizer muscles, while sitting down of course), he is screaming
"ONE....TWWWWOOO.....THTHTHTHHHHREEEE......FFFFFFFFFOOOOOUUR" are you kidding me? He is breathing all heavy. Then he says to his girl who is on the other leg press machine (we all know one is certainly not enough)
"honestly, these two machines (pointing to the leg press machines) are the best exercises for your legs."
Wow, if I had a gun, I would have shot myself, and then, it got bad. Collin finished up his first 5 rounds of "Cindy" and began his clean and jerks. He was on rep 5 or so and Captain Ultra-Novice interupted him to give advice
"you want to make sure you exhale and breath when you press or you'll pass out, I learned the hard way." First of all Black Dyna-might be the dubbest mofo I have ever encountered, I guarentee you have never A) lifted enough weight to pass out from B) lifted weight that is not connected to something C) used a barbell D) pressed anything over your head, and E) that is incorrect!!!! How do you keep a tight core if you are exhaling on the way up? Wait, maybe you should coach Mike Burgenor because he has it all wrong! He says the opposite! You flipping retard, don't stink up the gym hopping from MACHINE TO MACHINE and feel it necesary to preach to people who are actually functional and fit. I did everything I could to stay silent. Thank goodness he started to sweat and had to leave.
