Today is a bank holiday...

...how fitting that the only attendees will be bankers.

Today's workout is one that I concocted back in February. It's kind of my baby since it was my very first stab at creating a WOD. After completing it for the first time I was really happy about how challenging it was. But unfortunately, I gave it a really gay name. So in an attempt to revamp the image of my "baby", today I have two goals: (1) better my time and (2) improve the manliness of this workout's name. Here goes...

"George Takei" - 5 rounds for time of:

10 Burpulls
20 Walking Lunges
10 Ring Dips
20 GHD Sit-ups
10 DB Swings, 55#

Results:

Laura: 29:34, subs: 35# swings, 20 bench dips, burpulls on smith machine (burpee, chest-to-bar jumping PU)
James: DNF due to leg cramps, 3 rounds in appx 20 minutes

I ran 3 miles this morning and apparently my calves thought they were finished for the day. After completing the 3rd round, my left calf started cramping during the burpull jumps. And with Laura as my witness, my calf was all dented and looked like a big ole tricept on my leg. I took a break, rubbed and streteched the calf and tried again to no avail. So I did the majority of the next two rounds, minus the burpulls, until Laura finished.
