Cross Fit Merced Holiday Throw Down

Wod 1: Max Clean & Jerk.  Each team will have 5 minutes to establish at 1RM Clean & Jerk for each member.  Any technique for both the clean and the jerk is acceptable (ie. Power, squat, split, or any combination).  The team will share a bar and a stack of plates.  The team will start with an unloaded (empty) bar.  The team may load plates as necessary, but once a plate is loaded, it must remain on the bar for the remainder of the 5 minute session.  ie. Teams may not remove ANY weights from the bar.  Score is total load from all 4 team members.

--I clean and jerked 305 easy, got the 315 clean easy but missed the jerk on 2 separate attempts. only had about 2 minutes for all of this so I felt good about what I ended up with.

Wod 2: For time:

Each team member will run the 2500m course.  There are, however, several caveats:
1)    All 4 team members must cross the finish line together.
2)   Each team must carry a med ball through the course.
3)   There is a mandatory buy-in:  Each team must complete 60 “reps” with a 155# barbell.  A rep will consist of a deadlift for women, and a power clean for men.  There is no minimum or maximum amount of required reps per team member.  The workload may be shared however the team decides to split the reps.  Only 1 team member must finish the buy-in; Other team members may leave on the run as needed.

--Karina and I split up the lifts, She took the bulk of the load. We ended up 3rd overall in this event! 

Wod 3: 80M Big Bobsled Push... 

--This shit was fucking horrible! Our sled hit a tree on the way down which slowed us down. The push back was a very slow creep...

Wod 4: For reps:

Each team will split into 2 pairs of their choice.  An athlete in each pair will hold a barbell (135#/85#) overhead; while the bar is overhead the other athlete will complete as many pullups as possible.  The athlete doing pullups may break the pullups into as many sets as necessary and my continue to do pullups as long as their partner continues to hold the bar overhead.  When the athlete holding the barbell drops it from the overhead position, the pair will switch positions and pick up the barbell back overhead within 10 seconds.  When the second athlete gets the barbell overhead, the partner will then complete as many pullups as possible until the bar is dropped.
Score is the combined total of completed pullups among all of the team members.

My set of pull ups I hit 56, then Derek dropped the bar. 

I was fatigued when I picked it up so it didn't give him much time..

He ended up getting close to 46 pull ups which is great for Derek.
