One for All

Hollis

The 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10AM classes all did the same workout today, which included 2 1k rows for time. The best time we saw this morning was Mark Christensen's 3:12. Find out where you rank in rowing on Concept 2's ranking page.
We'd also like to wish Hollis a good trip. He leaves for Bali on Sunday for a month. All we ask Hollis is that you be sure to come back to us.....

Workout:
1k row for time
Rest 5 min.
10 min. of single arm dumbbell snatch (count reps)

On the dumbbell snatches go from the ground and catch in a full squat. You can alternate arms however you like, and each snatch counts for 1.

Susie Peoples does a burpee box jump during Coach Zac Pine's animal of a workout.
Susie competed in the Wildflower Triathlon on May 10th. She said that not only did Crossfit help her prepare physically and mentally for the event, but any given Crossfit class is harder than the 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, and 13.1 mile run.

Workout:
5 rounds:
250m row
15 burpee box jumps

Burpee box jumps: jump onto the box directly out of the burpee jump and go immediately into the burpee when jumping off of the box
