WOD Notes: You all knew it was coming… our first WOD with handstand walks! Don’t be intimidated, get excited! As always we have some creative scales in mind, such as wall climbs or wall handstand holds. Guaranteed to be a good time.
Community Notes: This is our first Friday with THREE classes on the schedule – join us at 6:15am, 4:30pm, or 5:30pm. We’ll be heading over to wings at 6:30 🙂

In and I am excited!!!
In! Gonna try for the 4:30
Actually, I think 5:30 might be a better time for me. I have some things I need to do after school.
I’ll be in for 5:30 too … love this WOD, gonna try and do all of the handstand walks today no matter how frustrating it is.
Nice Kevin! This should definitely make you feel more comfortable walking inverted, at least a few days down the road.
Great job to the morning class – Steph, Lindsey, Matt, and Eric. I didn’t get to take a picture of the results before I had to run out this morning, but I’ll get them posted this afternoon. The real highlights for me today were seeing Steph figure out the clean for the first time, then kicking up into a wall handstand for the first time since high school! Other notable achievements were Matt for completing the WOD at 125# – which I think was his former PR! Lindsey rocking handstand holds for all 5 rounds. And Eric clean and jerking 165#. Great job to all!
gonna try to make the 5:30. handstand walks are gonna be tricky

Chuck- 8:53 (95#, 3 wall climbs)
The swamp that was O’Neills backyard was not great for handstand walks today so we were forced to sub in some alternatives. Reminded me of a fun conversation I had with John when I was first starting crossfit.
Me: Handstand walks? I can’t do those, what is the sub?
John: um….. falling
Glad to see Nikki has taught John some better handstand walk subs.
Today’s Results:
Lindsey 13:20 (75, HSH)
Matt 14:20 (125, WCx9)
Steph 11:26 (55, WC & HSH)
Eric 11:05 (165, HSH+WC)
John 10:40 (RX, 225)
Nikki 8:50 (RX, 123)

Sara 12:53 (115, HSH lifting hands)
Nick 8:04 (75/85, WCx10)

I still say falling works Spence! Its just nicer to have grass to land on.
Phil 8:30 (145, HSH)
Thanks Phil! John didn’t realize he forgot to post your results. Good catch!
