Ropes O'Glory

Tamara (my idol) climbing the rope

Alright ya'll I apologize for the lack of attention I've been giving my precious blog these days. I've been a bit busy lately. You see, I turned 25 last week and I've been doing a lotta celebratin'!!!! Ya'll know what I mean.

As much as I would love to continue the partying, its time to get down to business.

I jumped right into it at 6am today along side my fellow Crossfitters, with this nasty one from the National Crossfit site:

"Tommy V" - in memory of yet another fallen soldier

For time:

85 pound Thruster, 21 reps (women's weight)

15 ft Rope Climb, 12 ascents

85 pound Thruster, 15 reps

15 ft Rope Climb, 9 ascents

85 pound Thruster, 9 reps

15 ft Rope Climb, 6 ascents

**Scaled down to 70 pound thrusters

Time 1:01:50

This was a first for me in two respects. First time doing more than 65 pound thrusters. I think I probably could have handled another 5 pounds. Next time. Also, the first time I've ever done that many rope climbs in a workout. I felt like I could have gone faster but then I had to slow down and remind myself that I had to complete 27 ascents!

Overall, it was a great workout and a lovely start to my day! Good work 6am-ers, ya'll were lookin' xtra strong this morning!
