Almost did not make it over to the House of Pain today, but I rallied and showed up just in time to do one of the famous benchmark WODs called Fight Gone Bad. Here is a description from the Crossfit HQ page of fun that followed:

Three rounds of:
Wall-ball, 20 pound ball, 10 ft target (Reps)
Sumo deadlift high-pull, 75 pounds (Reps)
Box Jump, 20″ box (Reps)
Push-press, 75 pounds (Reps)
Row (Calories)

In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute. The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. On call of “rotate”, the athletes must move to next station immediately for best score. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point.

Add your points. Here are my stats:

Wall Ball 16-18-19
Deadlift High Pull 26-19-17
Box Jump 26-25-23
Push Press 28-20-19
Row 12-11-11
Total: 290 (pr)

I am trying to improve my muscular endurance. For this one, I need more reps from the Push Press and the High Pull Sumo Deadlift. The box jumps were the best. I also need to get back on the 20# wall ball.

Other scores had Brent somehwere at an impressive 353 or so. Paresh, James and Ryne in Okinawa had 437, 418 and 357 respectively; all awesome scores.
