Here’s what’s on tap for Friday’s Black Box WODs (check schedule for times and locations)
A: Clean 3×5 @ 60%

B: Split Jerk 3×5 @ 60%

Here’s what’s on tap for Friday’s CFE running WODs at 6am, 7am, 8am:
It’s Tempo Interval Friday. We are running a pace that mimics a 10K race pace! These are must NOT miss days, says Coach Heidi, if you want to bring your pace per mile down! And who doesn’t want that?!

    Has anyone else had trouble logging into the Zen Planner App after today’s update?

    • John Grosso

      Yes. Extremely annoying.

      Thanks for the tip – I’ll hold off on updating the app until hearing something a bit more positive…

  • Albert Insogna

    A: This was a nice change of pace. Also- pretty sure I’m the least flexible person in the entire box.
    B: 5:01

    I frequent Cafe Deli-cious on 23rd (next to Tek Serve just west of 6th) and they have close to a dozen types of coconut water. The popular boxed ones were really repulsive to me for whatever reason, but they carry this kind called Taste Nirvana
    ( http://bit.ly/RgKtIq ) that has the pulp in the bottle. It is INSANEly good and very refreshing after a WOD. Check it out…oh and for $6.85 they have super-healthy salads with any 6 toppings (meats included). Pretty solid spot for you locals looking for Paleo-friendly variety.

    A:If crossfit was just mobility I would win the games. Sadly for me its not.
    B: Empty Bar Fran: 6:09 (I think) (blue/green bands).
    C: Rowed 5000m: 25:57

  • Andy Graves

    A: achieved suppleness
    B: 4:07
    C: “Sully Says” Tabata-quite winded at the end
    D: Coach Sofia’s DU challenge (notice new guy that just got DU) 5 rds 15 DU for time. Miss and you do that rd over-19:33. With all the missed reps I am sure I did something like 300. Thanks Coach Tom for the cues, it helps a lot even if I look like I didn’t get it.
    Spin off of Sullys idea. Next 12 week cycle starting next week, beard mojo grow-a-thon. Shave on the weekend and let it grow. Really hoping the girls don’t join in that one.

      Well done man! On the beard of course…the double under timeline is horrendous ;-)

    • Albert Insogna

      That DU challenge sounds fun.

    • Andy Graves

      thanks for that vote of confidence Reis-for the beard of course….
      Albert, seeing how I am just stringing together 15+ on a good turn it proved pretty challenging. There were a lot of 12′s, 13′s and 14′s. Sofia said they recently had a 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10 challenge for time. Working up to that one.
