  1. My mile and 1200 meter may have been a bit too "moderate" i.e. I sandbagged it. Picked up the pace for the 800 and 400.

    1600- 7:40
    1200-4:36
    800- 2:57
    400- 1:20

    Headed to the gym in a couple hours.

    1. 30 Squat Clean Thrusters for time, 155/105- 3:43

      2. Metcon- Anton and I split the work down the middle, neither of us could do the ttb with the 20 lb medball after the ring rows the other day. Did regular ttb. 18:49

  2. Open/Masters 43

    5 sets of 3 squat-clean thrusters at 155 done fairly quickly (would have been too much to attempt the metcon with that)

    Metcon: solo, so did half of the reps for the 5 rounds: 14:41 (had to take a few breaks)

    doing a second family workout at my brothers box later today,
    have a good day off tomorrow!

    5'8"/180/43

    1. 3:56 Rx. My original goal was sub-4:00, but then I saw Jeremy's time and wanted to give it a shot. Oh well :)
    2. Did this one with my 22 year old daughter and we don't have a 30 lbs. ball. We did the wall balls with a 20 lbs. ball (me) and a 14 lbs. ball (her). I jumped to a 30" box and she jumped to a 20" box. Regular TTB. Reps split down the middle. 15:53.
    3. 7:21, 5:20, 3:31, 1:19

  6. 1. 5:33 (I am giving in and going to doctor to get this shit out of my lungs. Weezing all over the place.)

    2. 29:30 - Did this with Blaine. A lot of time was waisted dealing with the med ball TTB, which were tough. We did sets of 3 to 5 depending on when the ball would fly out of our legs.

    3. Done. Running is goat. I would rather do Fran.

  14. I have signed this petition (Regionals for the Masters).
    I figured it would not hurt. I would like to get your opinion about this subject. Especially Ben's.

    1. I've got your back Victor - and I signed the petition as well. Although I still have 3 years before I'd qualify for the Masters division - I'd sure love the opportunity to go to Regionals once I reach 40! Good luck - I hope it works out.

    2. I signed that petition several months ago. I would love it if Masters had the opportunity to go to Regionals. I placed 42nd (if memory serves me well) in the Mid-Atlantic Region for males 45-49 last year and my goal for this year is top 20. I started this programming because I predict it will happen either this year or next and I want to be ready for it. Even if they did a modified version of Regionals that lasted one day I would be tickled pink. Ben, your thoughts????

    3. Signed,
      I'm on board with you guys.

    4. Talked to my mom (a 2x 50-54 games athlete) about it:

      ->It would really ONLY work for the 40-44 and MAYBE the 45-49 male divisions
      ->Traveling is both a bitch and a burden. How are you going to hold a regional for possible qualifiers from Europe, Asia, Australlia, and Africa? Where only 1-3 masters at most from each age division qualify.
      ->$$$. HQ doesnt make enough money (yet?) off the masters division
      ->$$$. VERY FEW competitors will find it worth it to blow a couple hundred bucks on it. If you crave more competition, go do the Garage Game events.

      FYI: It cost my family (of four) about $7,000 to go to LA (from Florida) to support my mom at the games.
      You talk about holding a masters regional, you'll turn off alot of people financially.

      ->Not enough competitors in the 45+ divisions. The top 20 wont change anymore than+/- 3
      ->There's not enough payout for the masters. The 1st place winner gets ~$3,000 2nd gets $1,000, and 3rd gets a whopping $500(which is utter bullshit)


      We've got another 7-10 years before a master's regional becomes a viable option.
