If this seem to far you are right.
You are also the victim of our little April Fool's Day Joke.
Actually, today is a rest day. Stretch, play, and relax.
Make it active rest though. Do something active and fun
We are due for a little circuit work. Circuit training is an excellent test
of your overall fitness. At CrossFit intensities it becomes debilitating.
We use it sparingly and go all out! This is "combat" or "getting out of
the burning building" fitness.
Decide loads and assistance (if absolutely necessary to get ALL reps)
before starting. Be smart, shelve your ego and shoot for rapid completion
with NO rest. Submit record of total time, weights for each lift, and
assistance (if needed on pull-ups and dips). Set up recording sheet
ahead of time. Rip!!
Bike for 3 miles
Twenty ball-squats (20 lb. Med ball)
Twenty push-ups
Twenty pull-ups
Row 500 meters
Box step up (20") with dumbbells, 25 right , 25 left
Bench-press 15 reps
Rope climb
Most of you are a little beat up by now. Let's work a little triathlon CrossFit style, short and hard.
Bike 3 miles
Swim 500 meters
Run 1000 meters
The challenge will be to set up the transitions to minimize the transition time.
Share with us your total time for all three legs and your transition strategy.
We’re leaving the order of events to your discretion!!
If the triathlon community competed at these distances or shorter, the triathlete
would be a much better athlete!
And finally, for our athletes, today represents a day of active rest. Some rest, huh?
