congrats on the pr! awesome to hear about the depth too. what the hell are dying cockroaches though?

It was weird and I don't even know if I was doing it right. No one was watching, and me and another guy doing them were laughing the whole time. You lay on your back and touch right hand to left toes, left hand to right toes...something like that.

Time - 16:01

My time kinda sucked, but my shoulders ran out of juice and I couldn't really do anything about it.

Don't ask me why there was a leg warm up prior to a shoulder WOD.

I am signed up for the Crossfit Level 1 Instructor Certification course on July 2 & 3

I read that as 'karaoke drill' and I was imagining CF making you sing while you workout.

Actually, you spelled it right. I didn't. And that's what I thought the first time I saw it. But it's like a sideways running thing where your feet cross over each other.

It was so HOT in there today!

5 right arm DB power snatch (35 lbs)

I probably could have done 40 or 45 lbs for the dumbbell snatch, but I wasn't sure. My shoulders have been really sore the past few days. Didn't want to tear anything.
