    GREAT hero workout today (my very first hero!) 20:21 – still a one-armed bandit but I lifted 50lb with that one arm and was proud to be that close to Rx 🙂

    Great job (sorta) newbie, Sam – I see a healthy addiction forming 😉 Also great job on the warm up coach Nick

    For me, this one was a real mental challenge because of the running…I usually avoid it at all costs but this morning when I woke up, I just told myself to git’ ‘er done. I think my time was somewhere in the 26-27 minute range. The running (which sadly turned into walking at times) really slowed me down, but I tried to make up the time with steady burpee deadlifts (set of 35 #s). Special thanks to Nick for the helpful running tips though. Without those I don’t know how I would have made it through.

    Awesome job, 5:30, and thanks Coach(es)!

    I AM SO SORE from yesterday. Those push jerks are killing me today!

    Good luck to everyone taking this one on today, looks like a good one. I love the story of Hawkeye the dog, makes me tear up every time I see that picture.

    perfectly cool and calming weather for this. i will have to practice that hollow-rock thing all the time now! (does it work diff/same muscles as a static plank?) i know my core definitely wimps out on default if i let it.

    24:05, 35#. great tip from nick – a strong core definitely makes the whole experience a lot less painful, but sustaining it is the real mental challenge! thanks for a great sendoff for friday. yaaay… BACKWARDS! lone wolf out there. 🙂

    Starting the 4th round I felt awful. I thought I was going to barf. I was feeling pretty sorry for myself. As I turned the second corner in the run, a woman and her dog were walking on the opposite sidewalk. I looked at the dog, and it looked at me and started bounding towards me with a big smile. The woman laughed and called the dog back over to her.

    I then thought of Tumilson and his dog Hawkeye. And I decided that barfing was not an option and I gave that workout hell for both of them.

    Thank you, Tumilson, for making the ultimate sacrifice for us.
