(8/10) So I went to
New Orleans…it happens. I got in
late….my friends were already on Bourbon St…..I went to bed to get ready for a
little fun in the morning…..my way!
3 boxes, 3 WODS, and all before I could eat the steam bison
burger I would get between boxes 2 and 3.
Up early to hit the first WOD of the morning. I must say people are still up and drinking
at 0700 on Friday morning in this town!
I worked my way over to CF Nola 504
(280) where I was met with Nutts!
Nutts: 10 HSPU, 15 deadlifts @ 250, 25 Box jumps at 30”, 50 Pull ups,
100 wall balls, 200 double unders and 400m run with a 45# plate. Nutts is dirty, so I only did ½ knowing what
was in store for me for the rest of the day. 5/8/13/25/50/100. I don’t remember the time, somewhere around 9
minutes. I had a total blast at 504 and
the space was awesome. Plenty of room
and great people there too! I have a
feeling I may see this again really soon……
After I grabbed a shirt or two, I headed over to
CF New Orleans
(281) for their 0930 WOD. This was goona
be fun. We kinda started in waves due to
the sheer volume of people and not enough rowers but it all worked out. One of their best asked to race, so I said
ok. So we took off after our 10 rounds
of 250m row, 7 DB strict presses, Left side @ 35, 14 stick sit ups, 7 R
presses, and 7 elevated pushups. It was
rough, I think I barely won that battle, but he said he did extra pushups. No worries, nothing extra in here ever hurt
me. Tony was super cool and I had a good
time. The crew was very supportive of
one another and I liked that. There was
one drop in from Lafayette who was awesome too, I so wish I could remember her
name. If I ever run into her again, I
owe her another sweaty hug!
No, I haven’t eaten yet, but I still have this
feeling I’m gonna see Nutts again. After
waiting for that awesome bison burger, I found my way into CF NOLA
(282) and saw Nutts! This time owners Jeff and Molly were there
and saved me from doing it again.
Instead, I got to do two other painful workouts, one with Molly and one
for Syn. WOD 1: 11m EMOM of 2 Cleans @
205 and 1 30” box jump. Not bad. Molly is a beast FYI!!! WOD 2: 15rd 1 Squat snatch into 5 Overhead
squats. 5 @ 95, 5 @ 115, 5 @ 135. Each set got harder; each set sucked more and
more. CF NOLA was awesome. People, staff, and location were all totally
perfect. I don’t think the truck driver
liked Molly pushing the sled down the street, but he’ll get over it. Thank you so much for having me
If you end up in the Big Easy, hit up all these places. They are totally welcoming and will kick you
in your “beers as big as your head” ass!
I do have only one regret though, my car was blocked in on
Saturday morning and I couldn’t make it out to Crescent City CF. Anne T. has become one of those text/email
friends that I look forward to talking to all the time. I promise that I will make it to C3F before I
head to the island!
Ok, next stop is the river with the girls!
