2012 5K Color Run - Orange County
This was literally the happiest 5k I have ever done. I’ve done my share of mud runs, which are always fun - running around in mud is always fun. But this was so…colorful. To start, they give everyone a color packet of colored powder to use at the end with everyone at the same time. At every K, you are doused in a color, so by the end you are colorfully covered head to toe - unless you were a pansy and stayed in the middle to avoid being hit. Would do this again in a heart beat.
In other news, my knee wasn’t too pleased that I decided to do a 5K. I can be a stupid girl. My Koach would agree.

Kettle bell (72/53)
Burpees

Kettle bell

Time: [must check notebook for time, i forget] RX
Now kids, these weren’t regular burpees. These were burpees over a barbell. So down you go, up and over the barbell, then down again, and that’s one. I think had I not been sick, I could have done it faster.
120116 - OC Throwdown WOD 4
Blazing the trail fresh from the OC Throwdown, we did one the competition WOD’s. My poor hands are still injured from Friday’s WOD, so I wrapped them with my homemade little hand wraps.
Strength/Skill: Back Squat 5 x 3
85, 105, 120, 135, 145 (PR!)
WOD - OC Throwdown WOD 4
6 min AMRAP
5 HSPU
10 OH Squats (95/65)
15 pullups
(4 round max)
= 1 round + 5 HSPU (knees on box) + 10 OH Squats (55#) + 2 pullups
Hands were achey over all but I powered through. But I definitely need to work on my OH Squat form, I struggled stringing them. I’m not as controlled as I should be. Once I nail that I know I can do more weight over head. Also need to work on progressing toward a strict (or kipping) HSPU.
Just hanging out at the OC Throwdown where CrossFit 310’s very own Sean O’Rourke is competing!
