Rock On

We went to the "Affiliate Throwdown" at Crossfit Oakland this morning. It started out fun, with a group warmup, but then went to crazytown. The WOD was pulled piecemeal out of a hat and was VERY hard (4 rounds: 21 jumping squats, 21 front squats 95#, 3 muscle-ups, 400m run), and the amount of testosterone and chest thumping and shouting was pretty over the top. As beginners, we felt intimidated and unwilling to be the focus of all that attention for trying the WOD (which we would fail at pretty hard - I can barely do a front squat with the empty bar with proper form). So we left.

...and went climbing at GWPC: 10a(o), 10b(o), 10c(o), 10c/d(f+), 10c(f+)

Fun climbs, though I think the lack of much overhang makes the climbs at GWPC easier than IW.
