Lalanne's in the middle in the white trunks. I don't own a speedo, but otherwise this could be a good crossfit workout. 4 towers for time, rotate order.

I have an afterparty request for whenever you guys think appropriate: Death by Power Clean- "With a continuously running clock do one power clean the first minute, two power cleans the second minute, three power cleans the third minute...continuing as long as you are able.
*Use 55% - 65% of 1 RM Power Clean" (from CF Football) Sounds fun!

At 2:30, after the massive C&J, a guy does toe to bar like a champ!
At 4:15, also after a C&J, a guy does a 4 foot box jump continuously.

Hi Rachel,

That is a great WOD! I think we've done it before. The Death By _____ format is great!

Evan said...

500 reps.
Time - either 5:28 or maybe 6:28, I was using the second hand of a non digital clock. Opened with 75 reps in my first minute, so probably the 6:28 time.

Rachel kicked off her shoes, took a shot of Jack, and did 500 jumping jacks in her work dress in 6:45.

Nice Steve!
500 Jacks -the Jack: 6:22

RachelRose said...

The shot of Jack was only because I happy to be home after about 2 hours of being stuck on the roads. Jason, do it again?

Only 2 hours to get home Rachel? I spent 6 1/2 hours getting from Silver Spring to Columbia - 3 buses, a stranger's SUV and the final 1 1/2 miles on foot with a backpack (laptop and 1 pineapple)and a tote bag in my arms with 5 lbs of wet papers and 2 lbs of seafood stock...Not sure what kind of WOD that is but once I got back home, I didn't have the energy for jumping jacks...!

Liana (my 7 year old daughter): 800 jumping jacks, not for time. She did 100 and liked it so much she just kept doing it over and over!

Of course, having an audience of parents/siblings/friend helped...

Mandi said...

Oh wow Sujata! That sounds like an adventure.

RachelRose said...

Sujata that is intense!! I'm glad you finally made it home safely.
