It's 1 minute intervals, correct? Convince yourself that you can do ANYTHING for one minute and then KILL IT!
...or, maybe just don't do it, since you're likely to become hopelessly addicted to CF (if you aren't already) and hurt yourself.0 -
Ice baths?
These are inevitable.
(Wishing I would have taken one last night...maybe I wouldn't be walking like a octogenarian penguin today.)0 -
Its going to be hard, but you can do it. Good Luck
I stopped looking at the WOD before I go because then I worry about it all day : )0 -

Yes, I failed to mention that in the OP. One minute per station.
Addiction? That sounds like a Bad Thing.0 -
It's a very bad thing. You might stop menstruating. I saw an article the other day....0

Now that you mention it, I just realized that I haven't menstruated since I started crossfit.0 -

Prancercize as a warm-up.0 -
A friend of mine lost 40 pounds doing this workout.
You might die.0 -
Morphine?0

Don't ever Crossfit. You'll hurt yourself and become addicted. In addition to the amenorrhea and death already mentioned.
And walking like an old penguin

Slow and Steady pace.... just keep pushing and keep at it. You may find yourself at a point where you honestly have nothing left.... if you can't finish, you can't... but keep track of the results of the workout so next time it comes up, you can see how much you have improved.0

Thank your deity of choice that it isn't FRAN.0 -
Go. Fast.
Ha, no seriously, it's only a minute per round, so just go as hard as you can, max effort. Then try to increase your reps each round. You got this!0 -
My advice - Suck in as much oxygen as possible- sounds like an awesome workout !!!!!0

They'll all laugh at you... They're all going to laugh at you!What happens if you can't finish?
Just kidding. I suppose they would scale the workout back so the OP could?0 -

Oh, that's good. Add humiliation and shame to the list of negative effects of CrossFit.
This girl finished with more reps than you

Prep work for "Fight Gone Bad":
- Get a friend
- Hand said friend a baseball bat
- Have friend beat you with said bat
You'll at least go into the workout knowing how you will feel when it is done.0 -

Wait for awhile to see if the swelling goes down and then go to the hospital if it doesn't.0 -

Since it's timed, I'll definitely finish...even if the score for some of the stations is zero*, I'll still finish.
(I will "boldly" predict now that my score will not be zero for any stations.)0 -

^this is a true story that will very likely...nay, will *certainly* happen...often...when I leave the relative safety of the on-ramp class and join the "real" classes. Not only will some of the women there score higher than me, some of them will likely do it while using heavier weights too.
There's no shame in "losing" to a bad@ss woman. :flowerforyou:0 -
Just wondering if it's a real test or if it's just a workout. If there's an test to get in, that would be badass. But, if everyone gets in, then it's not.
It's not a real pass/fail test. That would be hardcore. It's more of a graduation ceremony...or something like that.
Crossfit is anxious for me to "graduate" to the real classes so I can start giving them boatloads of money...at least until they injure me, which is their obvious ultimate goal...obviously.0 -

4 hours, right?0 -

Right. So they can post your picture on the internet and steal your wallet. That's how all great businesses make money.0 -

Well, first they addict you. Then they try to kill you. It's an evil plot.
Sounds like some marriages I've read about in the MFP forums.0 -
I promise not to post every crossfit workout to the general forums, but just to close the loop on this one:
3 rounds of 1 min each station: 20# ball (rx), 53# sumo high pull, 24" box jump (rx), 53# push press, row for cal = 241.
Day. Um.
90s, 60s, 70s. Hit serious wall in round 2. Claustrophobic panic level stuff.
Glad that's over. Can't wait to do it again.0
