Patrick, I feel your pain on the split jerks! Nice WOD!
Jan, Were the dips wearing body weight? Even if not, that's still a brutal WOD! Great job!

Went to the base Fitfest and took a running class. It was mostly based on ChiRunning, but it was a good refresher. Afterwards, I asked one of the instructors about my knee issues. She told me to do an air squat. When I did, she said, "It's DEFINITELY NOT your form!" :D

@Pat - Nice to have you back!

5/17 Mountain bike ride on Gold Camp Road. 8.7 mile climb (over 1600' gained) with ride topping out at 9056' elevation. Made it to the top in 1:46. The ride back down was fast and a blast. Definitely made the climb worthwhile.

05.19.2017 Friday

WU: 3 rounds
run 1 Lap
20 Sit-ups
30 Sec Cradle-rocks

Every 2 minutes, for 18 minutes (3 sets each) of:
Station 1 – 4-8 Ring Muscle-Ups
Station 2 – 50-75 Foot Handstand Walk
(use a partner assist to accumulate the volume and time under tension if you’re still learning hand balancing)
Station 3 – L-Sit x 60 seconds
(accumulate the time if you’re unable to maintain this position unbroken)

Did Ring MU work, did some handstand walking with a "guide" As a guy 53 I cant seem to get the handstand walk like I did at 16-20 yrs old.

WOD:
Two sets for times of:
30/25 Calories of Assault Bike
20 Burpee Box Jump-Overs (30″/24″)
Rest 6 minutes You have a long rest period for this workout, but the expectation is that it will be a 100% effort sprint when you’re working.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Bill, the dips were only bodyweight, no bodyweight amount of xtra weight, would be great to have some 200lbs hanging from the waist.
