WOD: Jumping Ship

Max Rep Double-under in 5 mins

1000m Row

Convert DU’s to seconds and subtract from your row time for total time.

Here is a little weekend food for thought. (Completely plagerized off the CrossFit Affiliate blog )

I believe in the life of a child.

They play as we should.

We call this thing we do, CrossFit – they call it living life.

They sprint or they walk, there is no in between. No long distance, slow paced efforts.

They climb and pull and push and jump with all their might, or there is nothing.

They want to play hard and they eat when they are hungry, not when the clock tells them to.

Sometimes they fight and they win, sometimes they fight and they lose. Either way they’ve learned a valuable lesson.

We worry about our muscle ups and our 30-rep time; Witness a child run to a chair or sofa (or whatever) and pull and press themselves up on to it, and you’ve got yourself a 3 year-old doing a muscleup. And they do it daily about 50 times.

They are not afraid to learn new skills. Show me a kid who doesn’t want to attempt a box jump or a traverse across the monkey bars.

And if they fail, they keep trying. Their is no giving up. They will ask for help if they feel it necessary. We should do the same.

They should encourage you to want to be better, as you encourage them likewise.
