Pumpfest 2011

Saturday was the 5th Gladiator Challenge put on by Union Hospital. This was the 2nd year that the Pumpfest has been CrossFit oriented and again it did not disappoint. We had around 30 competitors and they all worked very hard. Great job to everyone who participated, especially my loving wife who placed 2nd!

WOD 1
15 Minute AMRAP
10 Burpees
15 KB Swings
20 Wall Balls
TOTAL 6 Rounds
*I was able to participate in 2 of the 3 workouts. I actually wrote this wod up a few weeks ago when Lucas and I were scheming the Pumpfest. I tried it at our box and scored 6 rounds 36 reps. I think the lower score today was mostly due to the heat.

WOD 2
5 Minute AMRAP
50 Double Unders
40 OH Lunges
30 Shoulder to Overhead (75)
20 Snatches (75)
10 Pistols
*I scored 145 on this wod. I was able to complete 5 pistols which was a first for me, even though I think my judge was a little lenient on me. I was still happy that I was able to attempt them.

*Great job to everyone involved with this event. The competitors gave it their all and really stepped otuside their comfort zones while training for this event. I am looking forward to October and pushing them even farther.
