Crossfit log for Wednesday, November 27th: Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Today started with a warm up of shovel a path to the car, clear the car and shovel behind the car to get out of the drive way.

Showed up 5 minutes late, but Alex was still writing the workout on the board, so I didn't miss anything.

Very interesting workout.  I really liked it.

Partner WOD, 16 min AMRAP  (weights given for men/women)
1 x rope climb
2 x box jump 30"/24"
3 x dead lift 185#/125#
4 x toes to bar or knees to chest
5 x thrusters 75#/55#

Partner A goes through everything, then partner B does, repeat.

I ended up doing 85# for the thrusters, Rx was 95#, but more importantly, on a 35# women's bar, I could use 25# plates, which are okay to drop.

My partner was Lana.  She did really well. She wasn't used to doing toes to bar, but managed to get many of them and resorted to knees to chest when she had to.

This WOD was about thrusters.  One rope climb, no problem.  A couple of box jumps no sweat. Dead lifts weren't that heavy, and only 3 reps. Toes to bar, okay, tricky if you don't have the right technique, but only 4, completely manageable.

5 thrusters at 85# where where this got interesting.  The first few rounds
 were fine, but it got harder with each round.

We averaged about 1:30 per rounds  completing 10 full rounds, and Lana finishing the dead lifts of round 11 at the buzzer.
