July Challenge REcap/ august Challenge

With a new month comes a new challenge workout on the whiteboard.

July’s challenge was much harder than people anticipated.

It was:

for time:
20 Zercher Squats @ 95/65
30 cal row
450m farmer’s carry @ 53s/35s

450m is a long time to carry those kettlebells-and that’s what I wanted to be the crux on the workout-how well can you hold on and keep moving for over a quarter mile.

The August Challenge is a repeat from last year. It’s short and spicy.

August Challenge
for time:
20/15 cal ski
10 dock climbs
20/15 cal ski

The dock climb involves getting from the pavement to standing up tall on the loading dock. It’s 48 inches tall, so you may have to climb, scramble and crawl to get there.

Last year my time was 2:01, and yesterday I bested that time with a 1:54.

I’m excited to see how this one plays out.
