I failed to post a couple of Open prep WODs that I am planning to use to augment my training in the coming weeks.  These sessions can be done as a warm up or an extra session after the WOD.  WOD 1: Alternating Tabata of Doubleunders and Burpees.  WOD 2:  Every 3 minutes, treat perform 6 calories on the rower, web 6 burpees and 6 calories on the rower.  In the next 3 minutes, do 8s.  In the next, do 10.  Keep going up by 2 until you cannot complete the work in the 3 minute period.  I originally started at 10, and I bonked out during the round of 16.  If 6 is too aggressive, start at 2 or 4.

So, information pills after a minimal amount of deliberation, cheapest we will do a “12 Days of Christmas” WOD on New Years Day at 12pm.  I guess that’s the 12th day of Christmas. There is a bunch of barbell work at 95/65.  There are 12 movements, information pills so it’s a little complex, but otherwise it’s relatively simple.  There are no big weights or overly technical movements.  Tell your friends to come out and celebrate the new year by getting assaulted by exercise. Tuesday’s WOD came from the (twisted) mind of Coach Sarah.  So you can blame her.

We hope you had a nice weekend.  Alison and I did our best to eat our way through Monterey.
