Classical...WTF?

The Workout of the Day (WOD) was called "G.I. Jane".  So we get in the gym, warm-up and start the WOD.  It only takes a couple minutes before I'm gasping for air and need a break.  This is when I realize that classical music is playing on the gym stereo...what the hell?!?!  Crossfit is designed to break you physically and mentally, so I have to admit that classical music wasn't keeping me very motivated (sorry Julie, but I can't bring myelf to say "moti", lol) for this one.

100 Burpee/Pull-ups for time.

TIME:18:37, VF:7

You begin standing, then drop down to the push-up position and do a single push-up before springing back up to the pull-up bar above you.  You use your upward momentum to assist you in completing a pull-up before dropping back to the ground.  That's one rep.  Then you do it 99 more times!  I was hurting on this one, but got into a rhythm of doing about 10 at a time from 60-100.  I did the workout with Jason, who finished about 30 seconds before me.  I suspect he may have had more of an adrenaline rush than than me going into this one, considering he had just been in a fight with our other buddy Matt minutes earlier.  They had been at each others throats for a while and after living in the same room for so long, tensions finally boiled over.  I had a front row seat for the action and almost caught a stray punch, but fortunately neither of them was badly injured in the scuffle, and they've already made-up since it happened.  Actually, this video probably gives an accurate depiction of what the three of us looked like during the fight.

Tomorrow I'm resting.  My chest, upper/lower back, and abs are all tender from the past 3 days.  Good news is it's only about a month before I'm out of this place and back to Anchorage!  Can't wait to get some more snowboarding in with Cherelle before we start enjoying the LONG summer days.
