Please hold questions and comments until Garddawg or BlueBugofJustice post the scaling, which usually includes links to exercise videos, common substitutions and other helpful information.
The mainpage of CrossFit directs new people here for help getting started. CF can be confusing enough for a newbie, we want to make it as easy as possible for them. We ask you to be courteous and thoughtful of the newbies. If they show up here for the first time and have to wade through 5-10 posts before we have a chance to scale for them, it can make it more difficult.

Pull-ups 6 7 6 5 4 5 5 4 = 42
Push-ups 15 12 10 7 6 bench 7 6 6 = 69
Sit-ups 8 8 8 9 9 9 9 9 = 69 (Incline situps)
Squats 11 11 11 11 11 10 10 13 = 88
Total = 268
Last time 24, 50, 47, 79 = 200
Last three sets of the pullups I got a little bit extra rest when my mp3player flew out of my pocket when doing kipping pullups and I had to puzzle all the pieces together again before I could continue to listen :D

Deadlifts 5x5

Nice job bro , as for the mp3 player , kipping should be like a carnival ride , it should have a warning that says ” all loose items must be secured before going on this ride”

Ran 2 - 400 meter laps
1:49
2:25
First lap felt ok. The second lap started out fine till my neighbor pulled out of her driveway, I had to stop and let her drive by. I never recovered. Should have scaled to buttercups, running is my goat. I seem to get this pain in my achilles that really hurts. It takes a while to recover from. It only happens when I run on the street. I’m hoping with time I will be able to run long distances.
I have had on ongoing issue with my hip when I run. It flares up around 3/4 of a mile, no difference today. Have new runners, which hasn’t helped. Not sure the issue, so I try not to tax it too much. I walked the last two rounds. Better than stopping, I guess
I do find it a little amusing, though, that my walking rounds weren’t terribly slower than the “running” ones….
Boy, I screwed this up badly. I did 30 rounds alternating pull ups, push-ups, and squats each round. However, this is not the 4 consecutive rounds of 8 motions requested. It still felt like a solid work out, but I’m apparently not the big dawg I thought I was when walking out of the park. Bummer!!!
didn’t warm up at speed any so first rep was slower than I wanted. Better warmup and a little more intensity should get me 4 sub 3:15’s next time. Took 5 minutes rest between runs.
