Beach Bash

Yesterday's First Annual Oceanside CrossFit Labor Day Beach Bash was a real hit. Almost all of the usual suspects showed up with a great deal of anticipation about the surprise workout. Jeff certainly did not disappoint. On initial explanation, the workout sounded a bit confusing and I suspected that it would lack intensity at times. Well, I couldn't have been more wrong about the intensity. There was plenty of intensity. Let me see if I can sum up the workout.
We were randomly split into teams of two, mostly mixed gender teams, but there were a couple of 2-male teams. I was fortunate enough to be randomly selected as my wife's partner. We were early favorites to win the whole thing.

The WOD was as follows:

34 Burpees (each person)

Sprint to the beach and fill up a 5-gallon bucket with water

Carry bucket, medicine ball (14# male/8# female), Kettlebell (55#male/35#female) and spare bucket a total of 100 meters

@ 25 meters stop and perfrom 50 Kettlebell Swings as a team

@50 meters stop and perform 50 Med Ball Cleans as a team

@75 meters stop and perfrom 50 KB Sumo Deadlift High Pulls as a team

@ 100 meters drop gear and then turn around and do the Wheelbarrow x 50 meters

Finish with 50 meters of leapfrogging Broadjump Push-ups.

Confused yet? Actually, once we got going it wasn't that bad. Of course we went two teams at a time, so there were plenty of spectators to tell you what to do next.

Our finishing time was 11:45, good enough for 3rd place. Congrats to Robbie and Chris who set the standard as the first team to go and posted a Championship time of 11:37. Jeff and Kelsey put up a solid 11:40 for second place.

After the workout the feed was on. Who's on the Zone Diet? I clearly wasn't on this day. Let's see, I stuffed so many things in my mouth, it's going to be difficult to recall it all.
