(12/28) Now I’ve been home for all of 12 hours, I’ve hopped
on a plane and headed south to New Orleans. Like most things, my plans are
always a bit sketchy and made up on the fly.
This flight was no different. I
had an exceptionally long (6hr) layover scheduled in Atlanta and I just
happened to have a good friend and CrossFitter, Robin Butler, there and she had
the day off. So she came and filled that
layover with a WOD at her home box CrossFit HD (313) in Chamblee, GA. Once again, I was the only guy for this
adventure in CrossFitting. The trainer
for the day was a super cool woman named Krissi, really cool and super
friendly. This was going to be an
interesting WOD, it started with 4min of burpee box jumps (40), took 2min of
rest, then a 4m AMRAP of 20 walking lunges with 95# and 10 hips to rings (1
full rd) then 2min max regular burpees (29).
I think I hate burpees, but I’m getting better at them. CFHD was a blast and the ladies didn’t beat
me up too bad. I’m super grateful for
their hospitality and I would definitely go back! Thanks you Robin for filling those six hours,
now on to NOLA!
I got to NOLA…..my luggage didn’t……till 5pm the next day!
Once I realized that I didn’t have clothes, I needed to blow
off some steam. So I headed over to Big Easy CF (314) in New Orleans, LA. I met Zack, owner and head trainer
there. We started with a 3-3-3-3 of push
jerks. It was a good release finishing around 215. As I was cleaning up, I realized what was in
store for me, 4 rounds of 400m runs and 25 burpees! Math says that 1 mile and 100 burpees…que the
throwing up in your mouth a lil bit. It
actually wasn’t as bad I thought it was going to be, especially the running
portion. I finished strong with a 17:30.
I once again hate burpees! Big Easy
isn’t on a beaten path, but it was exactly what I needed! Thanks for having me Zack.
OK, tomorrow I keep my promise from a few months ago,
Crescent City CF Team WOD, here I come!
