Brob's #18

Our Challenge as Brian posted below was very clever and well put together this week! As Brian mentioned, with a lot of the AMRAPs there is always some kind of pacing or hesitancy of going all out.

What does hesitate actually mean?
In my "Oxford American Dictionary" it says: to be slow to speak or act or move because one feels uncertain or reluctant, to pause in doubt....

With a 5 Min amrap that means go all out! There is no time to hesitate. For an experienced CrossFitter, transition and reaction time is what makes you or break you here. How fast can you get through the 3 exercise with only 16 reps per a round?(1st. amrap)
How fast can you move before the suck comes in?

It would have been easy to answer. But, with 1200 meters and one more 5 min amrap, Hhhmmm?

So my thoughts? Just GIT-R-DONE!!

The snow and ice made the 1200m difficult. However, that's just the way it is.
Everyone that competed got through safely and had fun doing this Challenge!
Thanks Brian!!!

Our times/rounds (total time with a continous running clock):

Butcher: 17:13 6/2
Jean: 16:15 4/3
Reid: 15:40 6/5 moving really fast here. Paleo Rocks for him!!!
rob (old man) 16:20 5/4

After the 1200m meter run I thought the 2nd 5 min amrap would be a piece of cake. I was mistaken. The Goblets got me!
