Weekend Workout in the Woods

Here's a video of our "Weekend Workout in the Woods."  It started out as a fun trail run ...  but then things got REAL.  At one point, I caught up to Jared and found him back squatting and pressing a large log over his head.  Of course, not to be out done, I wanted to see if I could lift it as well.  I power cleaned that log right into my chin!  A few back squats and over head squats later, we were back on the trail and off we went!  We cashed out our trail run with a what seemed to be the worst work out ever... at the time, at least. 

 Jared did: 

3 Rounds of:

20 Tree Wall Balls

10 Log Cleans and Flips

Celest did:

3 Rounds Of:

20 Stone Thrusters

10 Log Cleans and Flips

It was a great work out!  Here's to KEEPING IT REAL:

Here we go!!! 13.2

As you know the CrossFit Games season is upon us.  Team Waechter has taken on the challenge!  We decided to do 13.2 on Friday morning.  It was a gasser!  We must be gluttons for pain and punishment because we did it AGAIN on Sunday with some friends.... for fun.  Who does that???  Here is the proof:
