Sorry it took so long to get a post together today....it took me many, many hours to drag myself out of bed, get dressed, and find my way to my laptop.
Ok, that's an exaggeration. But the workout last night was BRUTAL. If there was ever a workout that needed the words "death-by" in its name, it was LAST NIGHT.
7 rounds of:
10 burpees
30 jumping pull-ups
50 double unders
90 seconds of rest
I looked at the GYG times on the board and joked, "Why did you guys do it so slow?" Yeah, well...that was REAL FUNNY until I got to about round 5.
Congratulations to everyone who went through this workout, it was definitely tough!
I would like to welcome back Josh! Josh and his family were in Venezuela temporarily, but they have come back to the Fort Family.
How does 12/20 work for the ugly meatzza-off? We could combine it with the Bears game, and meet around noonish??

12/20 works for the Eagle family.

I believe I can make the 20th as well. I certainly will try my best as I want to enter my Meatza into this competition.
If at nothing else, my goal is to take down "Culinary Chef Champion" Brittany's Meatza masterpiece.
High 5's to Matty Lo on once again leading the way on this WOD. This guy is amazingly fast in METCON's and was a friggin' blur last night. Sick!

20th works for me too. I won't be entering a meatzza because I stand no chance. There is some tough competition and I know when to fold.
Are we wearing fugly Christmas sweaters?

Sounds like you killed another workout Matt. Nice work!

I think the 20th is good for us, will verify. I've got a few ideas on a meatzza. I assume cheese is acceptable for this right? Also, Jenny..back is still a little tweaked but my chiropractor has done wonders so I should be back at almost full strength next week so don't worry too much about modified WOD's for me. I plan on running my 5k this weekend. I know you're not a big fan of running but this is a big milestone for me so unless I tweak the back running I'll see you guys next week.

Might have to change the date 'caus I could actually make it then! Fugly Christmas clothes! I might have an idea for meat'za, even though paleo people probably did not care if their meat looked like a pizza (or fully cooked for that matter).

As of right now I will not be able to make it on the 20th

I think you have an idea Sparky... I could enter the worst undercooked Meatzza!! Wearing my fugly CHRISTmas sweater

Perhaps a meatza tartar? I like my meat extra rare after all
ps - this workout sucked! I'm sure Matt and Tom made it look easy but I struggled throughout.
