You jump into a massive skip of ice water and have to get fully submerged in it. Not only does it take your breath away it destroys your head when you come back up. I tried to about mother fucker and ended up sounding like a wookie :|

I did the first heats and I was only about 3 months into doing CrossFit, so I was poor. Next year I will be signing up again and I'll link you up to my profile so you can view my stats if you want?
ESPN3 are showing the finals of the games tonight :)

Challenge yourself dude, take yourself out of your comfort zone and test your metal.
I was congratulated by 2 Royal Marines for still getting through the course with my fucked knee (they ran past me at around mile 7). They said it showed marine spirit as they could see I was in a fair amount of pain. It made me proud, as stupid as that sounds.

Still don't get it.
Is this done as some sort of beneficial remedy for the strained muscles, or just an added extra evil punishment obstacle?
Plus, "enema" :(

I understand. I've done it during my infantry officer courses when I was a student, but at least I was getting paid for it. I wouldn't do it again, had enough.

There is nothing soothing about the ice bath... i couldn't breathe... that part was at the start of our run and two hours later i was still freezing.

Sorry to hear about your knee donny, but congrats on finishing.

I finished and managed to get across every obstacle without falling (funky monkey, dong dangler, the balance beam over water, etc). Even managed to not get zapped by any of the electricity things, and we had 3 of them- one while crawling in water, one while crawling in mud in the dark inside of a blacked out room (the mystery obstacle, very cool), and then the gauntlet run at the end. Here was the course map-

Note that it was on a ski mountain, so all those up and downs were up and down very, very steep runs. My legs are quite sore today, for sure.

Good work dude! I fell in at the Funky Monkey as they ahd greased every single bar, not the odd one like that said they were going to¬
Your course looks harder than the one I did, though the hills would have been the same where I was (Scotland is mega hilly)
I got tagged once in the electric eel, but not at all in the Electroshock Therapy bit. Good times :)

i read about this mudder thing and i must admit it seems a pretty cool activity

i like the way they have logic towards plain ol long distance running.

nice one to all who do it!

i think i could complete it but i prolly wont because of life getting in the way at the moment, but did you see many old guys doing it?

So after my mini freakoutin the lake on the weekend exposed a serious weakness, I hit the pool at 6am this morning. I am hoping that 2 or 3 swims a week will get my cardio fitness up, help with my breathing (which should in turn help with my CrossFit WODs) and help with my core strength too.

Other than the lake on the weekend, I have not been swimming for about 7 years so I only did a light swim with a few lengths just to ease me in, but I am hoping to be able to complete 1k unbroken by the start of October.

It felt good getting in the pool so early, it was quiet and it really woke me up. Good times.

SO CLOSE.... Captains of Crush gripper #2


Luckily, the best picture position and my best squeeze happened at the same time.

Left hand, not so close, probably 1/2" gap, maybe less. The gap pictured here is what my left hand can do with the #1.5
