The Visiting Team

Had the pleasure of hitting a WoD at Genetic Freak Fitness in Stow this morning, under the able eye of Kevin Cann. It's always an interesting mix of feelings when you step into a new box: there's that new kid in school thing ding-donging inside your head, but with that bit of unease comes the attendant adrenalin dump--always a good thing when you hit a metcon like the burner Kevin had programmed for today:

4 rounds for time:
15 pullups
21 kettlebell swings, 1.5 pood
30 box jumps, 27" box (could have been 30"; we weren't sure)
Results: 18:14 as rx'd. Haven't done pullups in a few weeks, so my kip was a little off--felt better once Kevin caught it and got me pushing off a bit more into the swing...box jumps were hellish as usual; last set of kb swings hit me a little harder than I'd expected.

For you: hit a great nutrition lecture last night, given by Crossfit Boston's indomitable EvaClaire "EC" Synkowski...a little bit late in the game for the dead of winter doldrums, but check out this great link on Vitamin D (good old Vitamin Sunshine) from Dr. Mike Eades' blog.
