"Karen"
For time:
150 Wallball shots, 20 pound ball
To go heavy, or fast? That is the question. Inevitably you'll wind up in this inbetween phase in which you'll find one medball weight too light, and the next too heavy. People always ask me how to handle this. My best suggestions are- first, are you the guy/girl that's going for speed at the expense of weight? You KNOW who you are. You check the times on the blog and board constantly, you never feel quite spent at the end of a WOD... Go for the heavier med ball and realize that today won't be your Karen PR. Are you the guy who goes for weight over time, or worse, weight over form (collective gasp!)? See how it feels to go lighter; tax those lungs a little bit.
Don't forget this Saturday guys- 10 am- be ready to wish Kim a good trip by dumping out buckets of sweat, leaving a little skin on the bars, and mopping up the blood when you're all done :)
Also- Firefighter Test workout Saturday the 12th!
*No idea* why the audioswap hasn't kicked in on this vid yet- but here's Kim at the 2009 Crossfit Games!
