HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NICK!



When I woke up this morning, I decided to check out the main site to see if there were any affiliates in a reasonable distance from my hometown.
Turns out Crossfit Morristown was having an "all are welcome" teaser class to celebrate their new facility. Nice space, and wonderful to get a real WOD in while away from the box.

I went back to my log to compare my "12 days of xmas" y/y improvement (decline) and it turns out I did a completely different one last year on the 12/22 rest day.

Hi! I live near Milwaukee and have been CF'ing for the past 14 months. I have a friend (Josh) in NYC whom I pestered into joining your gym a few months ago! He sent me this "12 Days" WOD. I liked the look of it. I scaled it up a bit and used rings for the dips. Time 31:28. Yeah...I went over 30:00. I was 2 burpees into the last set of burpees at 30:00. I was SO CLOSE that I just HAD TO complete it! This was a very taxing WOD. The last three rounds turned into a mental test.
Me: m/41/71"/190
WOD as scaled:
1 Deadlift @ 315#
2 Push Ups
3 Shoulder Presses @ 135#
4 Burpees
5 Box Jumps, 24"
6 Squats, 135#
7 Sit ups, weighted 25#
8 KB Swings, 2 pood
