Log books & Jackie

The people in my Crossfit class crack me up.

We have to bring our WOD books to class, and if one person forgets, everyone does burpees. So usually everyone has their books. Zach also tells us repeatedly to record our workouts in the book, so before class, as Aaron writes the WOD on the whiteboard, there is a circle of people all standing around writing it down in their books.

I don’t know why that’s so funny to me — maybe because because they look like they’re taking notes? I don’t know.

I wrote down the WOD ahead of time once and only once, and then Zach changed it or it was wrong or something, and I had to scratch it out. Ever since then, I refuse to write down the WOD before we actually do it.

I’m kind of funny that way.

“Jackie”
1K Row
50 Barbell Thrusters
30 Pullups

Time: 10:36 @ 35# bar / 2 purple bands

I encountered “Jackie” 2 years ago, and I used the 45# bar then. I kind of wish I had grabbed it this time. It would have been easier to compare. I’m definitely in better shape now. Rowing doesn’t exhaust me as much, but I’m still slow. My pullups are better, but I’m still on the band.

One day. Soon.
