Mixed WODs

Anne needed one more day off after her long ski season so she will be back on Monday.

Jackie, Erin and Jess were in for a workout despite both Jackie and Erin being still vary sore from the other days workout. Jess was psyched from her 1:59 rowing time. Together they did 20 push ups, 15 over head squats and 10 burpees for as many times they could in 20 minutes. I was very impressed with both Erin and Jess, Erin scoring 11 rounds and Jess scoring 10. Jackie had to leave early so her score didn't count, although she has been busting her guts all week here at The Garage and just turning up deserves a mention.

Sid was in soon after not wanting to miss any session despite a hectic schedule. Sid has been putting together an event which is to be on this weekend (you may have seen the P.E.G.S fashion show poster up at the Garage) but she doesn't let it stop her train. We began with 100 lunges, followed it with 30 second knee holds, step ups, wall ball, tabata skip for 8 rounds, some more knee holds, and then finished again with 100 lunges. Good work Sid.

Kim G was in and we were hoping Janaya was close behind. Kim did an extraordinary workout with 400 lunges. Ouch. But it didn't even phase her. I tried to finish her off with some pull ups - a hundred of them - but she managed this too. Then Janaya arrived looking amazing, and with the little time she had, she whacked out an impressive 1:08 rowing time which is another 4 second improvement. Good going girls.

Mickey D was in straight after, third session up and still nice and tender, no reason to take it easy on him though. A different WOD for the strong man, 21 jumping squats, 15 push presses (barbell), and 10 pull ups (rings) for as many times in 20 minutes. Mick's score: 6 strong rounds. Excellent work Michael, I look forward to Monday's Beep Test.

Michael P in for his first session after some time off from training. And after he requested I work him hard (big mistake) that we did. I watered down the previous WOD to only 15 jump squats, 9 push presses, and 5 pull ups, and for as many times in 14 minutes. Michael achieved 5 heart pumping, gut wrenching rounds which we then followed with the 2 minute sit up challenge and a 500m row (Time: 2:06.2) which sent him over the edge and his stomach too. After he recovered he swigged down some protein and was ready for the world again. Well done Michael, the first of many, many more to come.
