The Adventures of the Ferrous Quackers: 1/n

My buddy T. Harris and I formed the team known as the Ferrous Quackers (or as one announcer accidentally called us one heat, "Ferrous Quakers").  There will be multiple installations as pictures trickle in. Here's a few odds and ends that have popped up thus far.

Picture from WOD 2, "In the Hole", courtesy of L. O'Dell.  "In the Hole" consisted of the following for the beginner division:
  While partner 1 is holding a 55 lb overhead hold (or overhead squat hold if doable), partner 2 is doing 50 shoulder taps in push-up position.  Then partner 1 moves into a front squat hold at the bottom and partner 2 does 50 26 lb kettlebell swings.  Then partner 1 stands back up, moves into a back squat hold, and partner 2 doe 50 air squat.  We were probably the only team where one person did ALL of the holding.




And then there was WOD 1 "Run, Forest, Run!" which consisted of 1 minute sprint on the TrueForm (aka the death mobile) by partner 1, then partners take turn doing single minute maximum of 10 lb overhead lunges, butterfly situps, 20" box step-ups, and then partner 2 finishes with the run on the TrueForm.



And here's our elite Affiliate Team competing.  I'm hoping to dig up some pictures of my weightlifting coach, who is slaughtering snatches and clean & jerks.

And of course, we had some fun between events. It was nice being in Heat #8 instead of Heat #1 or #2, which gave us a bit of extra time to breathe and warm up as well as observing strategies.
