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.

LOL! Andrea is a power house!

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!

Here are the skill standards I referred to on Sunday:

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.
