As counter-intuitive as Crossfit may appear, it really does work.

So how much time do you spend in the gym? If you think you need to spend 2hrs to get a good workout, you're wrong. We've been Crossfitting since August of 2007 and on most days we're in and out of the gym within 45 minutes. That's because most Crossfit workouts last about 15 minutes. Those 15 minutes are PAINFUL, but they're worth it. We follow a 5 day on, 2 day off schedule. We're still going strong and we haven't gotten bored yet.

CLOSE TO YAKKING

Soooo excruciatingly painful. You will not be able to walk the stairs after this one. It is very tempting to get lazy with form because of all the repetition (and because of the pain). We managed to knock this out in about an hour...yes, it took an hour. We only used 65lbs.


Obj: Power Endurance

Warm up: Row 500m (easy)

Training: (1) 100x "Curtis Ps"
1x Curtis P = Hang squat clean, right leg
lunge, left leg lunge, push press

Dawg Busta!!!

Wow,this took forever. It's been awhile since we've performed a heavy load workout that took close to an hour. We were supposed to bench our body weight. Some of us benched more than body weight, others benched less. Anyway, here it is;

DOG BUSTER
Obj: Strength Endurance

Warm up: Row 1000m

Training:
25-20-15-10-5
Bench Press @ bodyweight
Ankles-to-Bar
Pull ups (strict) or ...

I wanted a nap after the warm-up....JM

HONEST POLITICIAN

Wow. This one really sucked. Massey and I basically did a third of this work out. These Mountain Athlete workouts are not 20minute crossfit workouts by any stretch.......



HONEST POLITICIAN

Obj: Strength/Power Endurance

Warm Up: 5 Rounds

10x Thruster (65#, 75#, 85#, 95#, 105#)

20x Situps

Training:

(1) Work up to 1RM Push Press

(2) 6 Rounds

3x Push Press @ 75-80%

20x Bench sit ups (like an atomic sit up performed

while sitting on a flat bench)

(3) 5 Rounds

5x "Mr. Perfect" @ 2x 24kg kettlebells

10x Ankles-to-Bar

(1x "Mr. Perfect" = 2-handed kettlebell clean and press, then put kettlebells down, crawl forward on your hands, do a perfect pushup, push yourself back to your feet.)

(4) 5 Rounds

30x Hippity Hop (15x each leg)

10x Alligator push up

1x 20m Rope Pull

Hippity-hop = stand beside a flat bench, put your left foot up on the bench, explode up and across the bench to full hip extension, switch feet in mid air, and land on left foot with right foot on the bench. Repeat the other direction. This equals 2x Hippity Hops.

Alligator push up = get to the push up postion. "Step" forward with your left hand, do perfect push up with hands offset. Next, "step" forward with your right hand, moving it up and past your left hand, do another perfect pushup. This equals 2x reps.

Planet Adventure Race



Scheele
On Saturday 4/18/09, in Brownstown Indiana, Shekeb, Missy and I battled the great outdoors for 8 grueling hours. The race was broken into three main courses; foot, mountain bike, and canoe. Unfortunately, we didn't even make it to the canoe portion.

We started the day off at 0600 in Missy's driveway. The drive took about 90 minutes and was mostly uneventful (except for our stop at Burger King for breakfast - I forgot the bike was mounted on the jeep....so things didn't work out so well in the drive-thru)

We arrived on time, got signed in, prepped our gear, (Shekeb changed a flat tire - the same flat tire he had from last October's race BTW), stared at the maps, stared at the maps some more, couldn't figure out out how the two maps were connected (ominous precursor of what was awaiting us in our journey), and finally asked for help.

Once the race was underway we received our last three points to plot on the map. After plotting those points and determining our azimuths, we took off into the woods, (the last team to take off BTW). The woods wouldn't have been so bad if the thorns hadn't been in our way; Shekeb and Missy have the scars on their legs to prove it. Well, that and the fact that the incline of some of those hills would make any reasonable person think twice about competing in another Adventure Race. But eventually we made it through the foot course, (after getting lost for 45 minutes and teaming up with a two woman team who just seemed as happy as we were to be there)

Together we finished the foot course and went back to the CP to fill up on water, grab our bikes and head off into what seemed like the Appalachia, (No joke folks, the hills were daunting). From 1pm 'til about 4pm we found our 4 bike points (up and down hills that were never intended to be navigated by Mountain Bikes) and just as we made our way to a major road, we were spotted by the race crew and directed to turn around for the CP (no time for the canoe).

We made it back by 5pm, tired, smelly, thirsty, and bloodied...but we made it back.

Congratulations team "Hope2Finish"...we graduated from the beginner course to the advanced course. Next event.... 18 Hour Mission Adventure Race?
