Well hell may be freezing over (workout)

[Don Carlos]

crossfit games started today for the individual competitors... and at camp pendelton. freaking awesome.

Yeah it is looking good; Froning & Thorisdottir will be there or there abouts. No real stand out people in the mens as yet but Julie Foucher is quite some distance away from everyone else in the womans.

[scared?]

Do be quiet, Geoff. These chunky legs have helped me run the 100 meters in low the low 11s/high 10s.

Me too, but over in the US. Good luck to us both

[Don Carlos]

Good luck dude; post your story!

I fucked my knee up 3 miles in. After that it was the hardest thing I have ever done. Some dude game me his knee support at about mile 6 for which I will be forever great full. I'll be out of action for a while but it was worth it. The arctic enema is the worst thing I've experienced.

All arrow to the knee meme bullshit aside, why is that shit named arctic enema?
I know it's just an ice bath you sit in to relax your muscles, but really...enema?

[Don Carlos]

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

[[xeno]Julios]

are the both of you competing in the crossfit games? Any way to follow your progress?

[ToxicBug]

Tough Mudder tomorrow morning...fuck

You guys are nuts. Why on earth would you willingly put yourself through something like this?

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"

[Don Carlos]

Added extra punishment obsticle dude - 3rd obsticle in too so you were not even warm before you hit the ice. It was the worst bit for me

[Plan B]

Ah ok, thanks.

Oh, and obstAcle, donny

[Plan B]

And, well



this explains the "enema" bit, I suppose.

[Don Carlos]

It was as bad as it looks
Worse than the electric shocks by some way

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.
