Holly demonstrating excellent deadlift set up, which she used to pull 200 lbs for the first time in the total last night!  Great job Holly, and great PR!  PR's were dropping all over the place yesterday.

SWOD:  Running technique drills

Metcon:  5k Run

This week is all about testing.  You will notice that each day will be a physical test requiring different  metabolic pathways.  The first, the phosphagen pathway, fuels explosive, powerful activities such as the CrossFit Total.  The 5k run will primarily require the oxidative pathway, which is used for low power activities requiring stamina and endurance.  As athletes, we should not become better at one at the expense of another.

    Having a rowing partner really helps! :)

    Was looking forward to running the 5k all day, but running in the dark and in the rain didn't seem safe.
