Very first Friday of the month at CFOT is choose your own hero or girl WOD. It seems that Josh and I are in love. I chose to do him again this Friday. Uh... wait... reverse. That sounded really bad.
I chose to complete Josh as my WOD. How's that? This is the third month in a row I've chosen that WOD. I can't help it. I really have just developed a love of OHS (imagine that!) and Josh is just a WOD that I really enjoy doing. My first time through I did the RX'd women's weight and came in around 11 minutes. My next time through I barreled through it and came in in 9:36. This time, I decided that the gauntlet really had been thrown and so I decided to do it with the men's RX'd weight (95lbs). I wasn't speedy by any means because 95lbs is very close to my snatch max, so I couldn't snatch the weight. I had to clean it, jerk it, put it behind my head, and then do a jerk from behind the head. It was tiring just getting the bar up there!!!
But, I'm uber stubborn as you all know, and I refused to quit. Somewhere in the round of 30 pull-ups, my right hand went caput and I got the tear that's in that picture. I had to do the last 18 pull-ups missing one huge hunk of skin. I don't usually tear far enough down to bleed thankfully but the feel of moving skin and tearing flesh at 0515 in the morning is not necessary my most favorite. :P My final time on this was 22:33. Not by any means speedy, but something to shoot for next time when I do it. Cause I'm sure I'll do it again next month. :P

Crossfitting men that do that to their hands need a t-shirt that says:
"It was the Crossfit!!! Really!"
I can't wait to hear the story on this one!
Well well! You carry the mark of crossfit upon your hand.
LOL...
Really baby, I swear! It's CrossFit that gave me the calluses! :P
Steve, I really actually like the sound of that... it sounds almost... very Shakespearean... :)
