    Hey, is anybody partaking in the Second Annual Royal H. Burpee Challenge that begins tomorrow? One burpee tomorrow, two burpees Sunday…culminating with 116 burpees on June 4 on what would have been Royal H. Burpee’s 116th birthday. – http://www.crossfitadvanced.com/blog/royal-burpee-challenge-2013

      I don’t want to discourage you, but this is a bit of a rookie mistake. People who do these challenges and stick with them tend to have a very high injury rate.

      My advice: Do the WOD, stretch, recover, eat right, sleep. You’ll be much better for it 116 days from now.

      • Brad Hoover

        Sage advice. Thanks Hari.

  • Daniel L

    Apologies if it’s already been mentioned in the comments of a previous post, but what is the alternate WOD tomorrow for those who tested on Wednesday?

  • Matt

    So I take it classes are still on for tonight?

    All HR:15 Evening Black Box WOD’s are canceled.

    Total of 3 sets with 10# plate + DUs: 10 rounds even.
    DUs massively slowed me down as I can only do them 1-2 at a time, but this was really good practice! It was also a much harder WOD that it seemed (anything with built-in rest turns out to be really tough)

    Worked up to 1 heavy set of bear complex:

    Dropped in at Crossfit Old Town (Alexandria) tonight. Fun WOD.
    Muscle up (subbed 2x pull-ups), double under, ground to overhead 125lbs
    10/100/2, 8/80/4, …, 2/20/10. 24:55
    Something clicked with double unders. Turned in some 40 in a rows tonight.

    15 rounds… Scaled to single unders. Noticed my DU attempts were uglier than usual. Seems like the new red jump ropes at 26th street are slightly longer than the older red ones I had spoiled myself with (can get maybe 6-8 consecutive DUs on those). Conclusion: I can either keep whining, or bite the bullet and get my own rope. :)

    Also! Finally registered for the Crossfit Games Open today (first time!), and avoided Will’s burpee wrath. Winning.

    Stay warm, everyone… Though I AM looking forward to handstands-in-the-blizzard pics… Any takers?

  • Andrew

    5 rounds + 15, 5 rounds +11, 5 rounds + 5. Tougher than it appeared on paper
