Teams
So I go into the gym and meet up with Jason, Jake and Mike (Two other guys who have started on crossfit and whom I have worked out with earlier this week too). Today was a bit different than the posted crossfit workout, which was, I believe 7 sets of 3 back squats. Instead we worked on snatches. Which was fine with me as my form on them isn't the greatest. So what started off as pretty much doing the same workout routine (7 sets of 3) evolved into a team relay. Each team had 2 "stations." One team member would start out with hanging snatches while the other would run a 400 (maybe more. I would say it was at least 400m but no more than a 536.791m). When the person A was finished running, person B would stop doing snatches (sorry, there's really no way to say that without making it an innuendo) and the two woudl switch. The goal for hanging snatches was 100 total. So while person A was running, person B would get 20 done, then person A's first would be 21 and go from there. Jason said this would be fun and I was seriously starting to doubt Jason's use of the word "fun." I think that hanging out with friends at the Claudaugh is fun. I think that if someone came up to me, put a gun to my head and said "You have two options to live, either go run 3- 400's and get a combined total of 100 hanging snatches or go drinking with friends at the Claudaugh otherwise I'll blow your brains out," I would probably go with going to the Claudaugh. Anyway...I don't remember what our time was and we didn't win...but I will say this...I was surprised with how fun it actually was. Just the elament of some form of compitition changed it. There was a bit more motivation and it did make it fun. (I'd still go to the Claudaugh though).
