So....in case you ever thought you whipped yourself hard with the jump rope, you need to take a peek at poor Ivan's shins.

Yeah, that's about the worst double-unders beating I've ever seen. There have been times when someone will whack themselves pretty good a couple times in the back of the arm, and there are even the occasional shin whippings....but this is just unreal. Hopefully Ivan still has some feeling left in  his shins.

The workout started with some heavy jerks. You could opt for either the split jerk, or the standard push jerk - whatever you're most comfortable with. We saw some pretty impressive numbers! I know Charlie is a big strong man mountain, but he chose not to write his strength numbers on the board...he's sneaky like that. I overheard someone in the 7PM class shout "who's Earl!?" Apparently they noticed that he put 98kg's over his head 8 times. He's a big strong man mountain as well, but he's not ninja and stealthy like Charlie.

We had some visitors yesterday! Josh and Levi are visiting some family out in Harvard, so they'll be joining us a few times this week. They're visiting from BTB CrossFit in Atlanta, and they brought me a SWEET "Fran is my homegirl" shirt. Anyone who knows my relationship with Fran can see the irony.

Our other visitor was Clark. It's been a long long time since we've seen his smiling face, and he's extra smiley now that he's been to Disney and back.
