  • Mike K

    31:08 with 135#, 40kg KB, and a 30″ box

    Apparently my brain does not function in the AM and I did the reps like 1, 1-2, 1-2-3, etc rather than counting down.
    That seemed to make the last few rounds a lot worse.

    Happy Holidays everyone!

  • Erika Ramos

    40:11 with whatever weight was available that i could handle at that time. i also kept doing reps as 1, 1-2.. up to round 6 and started over. then i did it AGAIN.

    FYI thanks to cassie (btw props for wearing that sweater AND those socks during the entire wod), i wore a little gift bow and kept it on the entire time.. but because it didn’t generate any extra heat, i didn’t get any time off :(

  • Cass

    38:26 in real time, 36:26 in sweater time

    HSPUs off a box
    65# thrusters

    i think people who were able to take off their shirts (i.e. mike k) should have 2 minutes added as time, that’s an unfair ventilation advantage lol

    way to go Erika for finishing strong, and with the bow intact!

    happy holidays everyone!

      Let’s not discourage the men from taking their shirts off ;-)

      Why do you think I like my job so much!??!

    Had a pretty cool experience today that I thought people might appreciate. I’ve been working out at the Black Box now for a few months and consider myself a mediocre CrossFitter – I am rarely able to do the WODs as RX’d, but I work hard and love it.

    Today, I joined my wife at a Spin class in one of the trendy cycling clubs. First time I’d ever done it, but I figured if I can hold my own in a WOD, I could keep up. Turns out not only did I keep up, but I got the second highest power score of anyone in the session.

    My point is, while I’m not he best CrossFitter, I think it is pretty cool that I am able to smoke other athletes in their sports. For me, it just reinforces how great CrossFit is. I look forward to seeing what I’ll be able to do in another 6 months.

      Flywheel?

  • Jim S

    Piked HSPU on a ladder, 15lb wall ball, 20kg kettle bell. 56:56 Damn. The snatches took me 9 minutes.

  • Jeff

    40:48 + 20#
    done at a casual “rest day” level intensity

  • Jason W

    29:01 rx’d.

    got off to a rough start with the rep scheme. had to start over once. otherwise, everything unbroken except for the snatches (4-2-6) and one round of double unders where i messed up. Half the fun was dodging everyone.

    Happy Holidays!

    35:58 rx’d…happy holidays to all…and to all a good night…

  • Peter F

    Yep, I starting singing the song somewhere around the burpee round and realized I was doing everything backwards. 

    But yeah, 37:25.  Wall balls are still a nogo and the snatches were sad even given the light weight (45#…its that bad), but a few triumphs.  First time doing double unders in a WOD!  A Christmas miracle.   

  • Williamson

    29:21 rx’d

    First 5 rounds were hilarious dodging bodies and swinging barbells, then the second half of the wod started…

    Fun wod more than anything else, Merry Christmas all.
