Think you might need some new lifting shoes. That's what... your 47th pair.

AMRAP in 10 minutes:
5 power cleans @145 lbs
10 Toes to bar
15 wall ball with 20lbs and 10ft target
=4 rounds +2 (122 reps)
I think a realistic threshold goal for me is 225 reps and an objective goal of 250 reps would be great. We'll see how id goes down on Saturday. Good luck to everyone this afternoon. Kill it!

@ Jason and Dave: I tell them "It's functional!", but I can barely get in and out of my truck right now. My co-workers will never understand until they start doing it, I guess.

Here's a link to another one of the Garage Games Series Events. This one is in Columbus, Georgia. It's being held June 11th-12th. Only about 4 hours away which isn't terrible.
At the moment I'm planning on staying in Auburn with a few buddies unless we can get a group together and a few people to split a hotel room.
Let me know if anyone else is interested!
O and by the way, the prize for first place in this one is CASH.....So as for our firebreathers, namely Russell, Kevin, Tye, and Dennis.....You're not invited

Kevin got to eat dinner with him the first night they were there so he probably knows for sure.

Take that suckas!!!!

My ability to "take the suck" fell apart in the 3rd round. Note to self: Hero WOD after an overnight shift without sleep or food = piss poor performance. I'd still be standing there looking at the bar had Russell not convened an intervention during the last round.

7 rds + 8 reps
Cleans were heavy and took most of time. T2b was limited by my poor hands and grip. Wall-balls unbroken. Thanks to Lesha for staying and judging me! Good luck to those competing tonight!
