  1. I kept the stats, so here are everyone's results:

    KW: 4:05, 23 + 25 slams, 4:17
    Jeff: 5:00, 50 slams, 5:25
    Peter: 5:15, 29 slams, 7:27
    Steph: 4:46, ? slams, 6:32

    I gave Kirsten only 1 minute of ball slams, so she did another minute after the WOD. Jeff was visiting and jumped in the workout, subbing double mileage on a mountain bike for the running.

  2. I have been working on Pose technique since our cert. It is finally paying off in that I am now able to do these pieces in trail racing flats with no pain or cramping anywhere. To be able to run in shoes without cushion is incredibly freeing. Like barefoot, with a little more protection.
