Dunno what Jax's notes were about the vinegar stuff. My guess is she just took the 1st piece of paper she could fine to write the results, before transferring them to her computer.

Also just noted the asterisks. Hmm.... why didn't I get one?!!?!?

Me & Joey tied!  :)

Warmup/Strength/WOD:



RESULTS:

135# back squat x3

110# push press -- had to lower to 105#; can't you tell why??

65# cleans into thrusters -- feel much better with the Rogue shoes. I'm a HUGE fan of them now!!

Double-unders without my own personal rope, that's just the length I need, pretty much suck

Waiting for wod 3 to begin [im]patiently

I was excited about this wod. The music & adrenaline pumping was making me feel jiggy. So I busted out a move or two. Check out the mortified face on Jax. Danny is trying to pretend he doesn't see or know me, and Jason is simply hanging his head in shame. BAHAHAAHAH!

Almost GO-time! We're strategizing on how best to divvy up the equipment for the carry

Jason, aka He-Man carried that flipping heavy mat all by himself!! HOSS.

The girls tooks the heavier bar b/w the 2 of them

Danny carried the lighter bar by himself; made it look like it was nothing

nice scarecrow

you don't see birds, do ya? that's because the scarecrow scared them away!!

who's locking it in place up top!?? yeah, me, that's who

And again from another angle. There were some fantastic paparazzi there to capture it all

Um, if you look close I think I almost went cross-eyed. Who knows what was going on....?!
 
 Jax & I trading off on the snatches

Jax & I snatching again except positions reversed
Jennifer told us to pose with hands on hips

Do they look like they just completed an awesome job on those snatches & runs?! (except for my fly-away hairs)

in color this time

That's what I'm talking about!! HI-5 it

Judge told us our time, so I HI-5ed him too cuz we did better than we thought we would! 



Random shot with creepy vendors, but thought it'd make for a fun photo

Serious stretching going on

Not so serious stretching going on this time

I was even making the little revving noise I imagined a dirt bike would make

With my shorts, I might could pass for Daisy Duke, with brown hair. There was no door...

This one was taller. The vendor guys dared me to try to get in that one. HAHAHAHA, don't they know better!?!?
