And then there was some training on how to use the zero turn lawnmower... apparently I was actually trusted enough to handle a massive motorized device!
The (mis)adventures and thoughts of an aspiring master archer, lifter, and fantasy author who happens to be irresistibly drawn towards wolves, raptors, and parrots. They may say there's no such thing as Paradise or Perfection, yet I'm still searching for them. Why do I keep searching? A voice speaks to me and says: "Search for Paradise and aspire for Perfection"...

Members' Mayhem, Part 2/2
All of these amazing photographs are courtesy of I. Ramirez of Valkyrie Photography.
WOD 1 - 25 minutes of *death* by cardio...
Plate burpees aka burpee with chest to plate and then ground to overhead with the darned plate.
Running, running, running! I felt like I had my partner on a leash! I thought I killed her a few times!
Wall balls, 14 lb ball. Good lord I despise wall balls... but talk about balls to the walls!
Very light weight ground to overheads, so I just snatched it, even if I didn't always remember to engage my big glutes to avoid the hitching giddy-up motion!
Ring rows... I must have been pretty tired by the time I got to this to be at such a small angle!
Tallying up the score card while my partner is wondering if she's still alive after WOD 1. She held up very well, nonetheless!
WOD 2 - Time to get extra filthy with tires filled with greenish-yellowish-brownish organic material! Eew... This is where my partner really, really shined!
And then the less yucky-ish part with air squats, hanging knee raises, and burpees. Actually I will take organic filth over hanging knee raises... squats are my rest.
I really, really despise hanging anything... I think I will take wall balls over hanging anything where I feel like I'm attempting to be a spider monkey!
WOD 3- The kitchen sink in 18 minutes...
Ooh my elbows didn't quite shoot out properly on the power cleans... which is something I really need to clean up...
American kettle-bell swings with the 1 pood kettlebell! Wheee!!!
I like slam balls (or as I call them, ball slams) much, much more than wall balls! Take that, floor! I didn't like your ugly face anyway!
And then there was the group picture even though we lost the majority of our competitors!
