One more rep! Workout 3, CrossFit Visone's Turkey Takedown

Turkey Takedown (Day 2) W1: Snatch & Burpee BJ's, W2: Shoulder to OH, T2B, HC, PU, WBS, DL

11/17/13

Workout 1 (8 minute time cap)
5 rounds of:
Power Snatch (115#) x 5
Burpee Box Jumps (24") x 7
(6:55)

Workout 2 (12 minute time cap)
3 rounds of:
Shoulder to Overhead (95#) x 9
Toes to Bar x 9
2 rounds of:
Hang Clean (135#) x 15
Pullups (no butterfly allowed) x 15
1 round of:
Wall Ball Shots (20#) x 21
Deadlifts (225#) x 21
(I could only finish 10 or 11 deadlifts)

Day 2 of the Turkey Takedown proved to be just as fun as the day before. My mind was up for the task, but my body was a few steps behind. When the first workout was announced, I was relieved until I got halfway through round one. A 115# power snatch felt like 185#, and my quads were smoked by the 4th burpee box jump, now add 4 more rounds and another workout! My forearms were so fatigued in the second workout, I lost the bar during the hang cleans three times and I could barely get the clamps off to add more weight for the dead lifts. So much fun!

Spartan Sprint

11/02/13 - Spartan Sprint (3+ miles and 15+ obstacles), Miller Park, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Time: 51:02
Overall: 257th/3273
Age Group: 49th

The view from the spectators seats overlooking the finish line.

I had a blast! The obstacles were challenging, but it seemed more like a workout than a race.  I think the Urban Warrior Dash was a little harder, but the Spartan Sprint in the Milwaukee stadium was pretty cool. The obstacles started with bear crawls and high knees up 3 or 4 flights of ramps followed by 30 overhead ball slams with a 25-pounder. Lots of walls to hurdle, ranging in height from 4 - 8 feet. There were several types of carrying obstacles, (sandbags, water jugs, cement blocks). I thought the weights could have been a bit more challenging.  I loved the Concept 2 rower obstacle of 500 meters under 2 minutes. It was tough because you couldn't see your pace or the time, you could only see your meters. If you failed, you had to do 30 burpees, which was the penalty for any failed obstacle. There was a Hercules Hoist where you had to hoist a cement block up about 25 feet, jump rope with a heavy rope, box jumps, cargo net and a rope climb, as well as countless stairs climbs up and down the stadium bleachers.
