1/26 - moving day...

Australia Day...  a public holiday.  It was also the day our box moved from one side of Revolution Sports to another - we have 1.5 times more space than we had and are now able to workout shirtless (or so we were told)...  no sure if this is actually a plus. So, given this there was only one workout scheduled today and of course it was designed to help with the move.

WOD #1 (group)
move one piece of equipment from one end of the building to the other, sprint back - 10 burpee penalty for dropping equipment
20ish minutes

With the 30 or so of us that turned up this went pretty quickly... right down to the clock on the wall and the bamboo plant from the desk we had this done in about 20 minutes, it was fun too.  I was surprised that of all the plates the 20kg ones were all moved first - thought for sure the heavy stuff would be left for last - nope, not with crossfitters.  Ha!

After we'd moved down to the other end we had WOD #2

WOD #2
5 rounds
20 KB swings
300m run
13ish minutes (12kg)

This was hard!  Remember how Match had told me the day before that we'd have no overhead lifting today... it was a lie.  Haha, pretty sure he was thinking on the fly of how to get a WOD in with 30ish people in a tight space with nothing set up.  We actually each grabbed a piece of the rubber flooring (that we had carried down in WOD #1) and whatever KB we could get our hands on (I grabbed a light weight, only 12kg).  It was also pretty hot outside - probably above 30 degrees at 9am so the runs were a bit crazy - thankfully there was shade on the back stretch which was the majority of the run.  Lots of sweat rewarded with frozen treats when we were done.  Good start to what turned out to be a fun day of pool-ing and hanging with friends and lounging in the shade...

I've earned the next 3 (or 4) days of rest.  Oh, who am I kidding, I'll be at the box Monday - so 3 full days of resting it is.  Necessary and perfect timing as the forecast is for a high of 42C (108F) tomorrow.
