JDub is on the big board!

Okay, the gauntlet has been thrown down. JDub did her first CF workout and put in a great effort. And not under ideal conditions due to some stressful stuff going on and lack of sleep.

Her first test - Barbara "Lite" - 5 rounds of the below with 3 minute breaks in between each round:

10 pull-ups (black band, foot in band)
20 push-ups (knee style)
30 sit-ups (Abmat, feet secured)
40 squats

Pull-ups were probably a touch too easy, next time maybe just a knee in the band or perhaps two bands with just the knee. Push-ups were a bit shallow, will look for more depth next time (I'll cut you some slack since this was your first time). Sit-ups were strong. Lost a little form initially on the squats - toughest move for you. But overall an excellent start... her response to the workout? "I actually liked it."

Perhaps the world of CF will suck in another. Dark McKnight, the stone has been cast... :)

Round 1 - 3:46
Round 2 - 3:50
Round 3 - 3:56
Round 4 - 3:53
Round 5 - 3:54

Total work time - 19:19. Remarkable consistency. Did not reach the point of needing to stop for a break. Need to make it tougher next time... ;)

Click on the virtual white board to the right for results so far. Who is next? Looking for committed individuals who want to work their azz off.

I took the day off due to the big effort at the bike race yesterday and this strange rib cage strain... will look to get back on track tomorrow and be just a day behind the standard WOD schedule.
