CrossFitters Don't Let Other CrossFitters slack

Jen: Hey, Mike, is there a reason why you're stepping up instead of doing the box jumps?
Mike: No reason, because I'm a wuss.
Jen: Oh.

... so I started doing them right.

My partner, Andrea, kept pushing me on the run. The other parts weren't bad because I recover quickly from the strength components, but I really, truly suck at the running piece. I might have walked the last two laps if not for the encouragement.

Also, that cigar last night was, again, a terrible idea.

    Oh, she's a fire cracker, that one. She rode in from VA 10 miles, then turned around afterwards and rode home.

    Hey Mike,
    Great blog!

    So for the snatch that you asked about:
    Level II is 1/2 bdwt
    Level III is bdwt

    Thanks, Jerry. This stuff is great for measurement and goal setting.
