Daily WOD – Apr 10, 2015

6-29

“Randy”

Complete 75 power snatches for time (75/55#, NTE 60% 1RM)

Hero Notes: This is one of CrossFit.com’s first Hero WODs. It was created in honor of Randy Simmons, 51, a 27 year LAPD veteran and SWAT team member who was killed in the line of duty on February 6, 2008.

WOD Notes: Choose a weight you can move readily, because 75 snatches is a lot! We recommend no more than 60% of your 1 rep max power snatch. This should be a sub 10 minute WOD. (Compare to 140723.) If you have any shoulder issues, scale to 75 power cleans at 60% of your 1RM power clean.

Community Notes:  Happy Birthday to Chris S and ICA’s fearless leader (and the most wonderful husband in the world) John! Pretty awesome that the two people I owe the most THANKS for bringing Carver into the world share the same birthday!

    Question: Marilisa and I are headed to the comp. tomorrow and we want to make sure we catch any ICA members participating, any idea of heat times? Website only says 8-5pm.

    I know this is late. Mar told me not to be discouraged if no one reads this but I’m counting on Daves blog stalking.

    1. Nikki

      Bryan the heat schedule is the first link on this page: http://cfgevents.com

      2 wods are assigned heats. The other wods our athletes will sign up when they get there.

    2. Nikki

      With more than a dozen ICAers competing you’re sure to catch some of our peeps in action no matter what time you go!

    3. Nikki

      To clarify, anytime between 9-3 you’re sure to see ICAers!
