Getting excited for the weekend bash? The run, the crowd, the perfect weather. It should be awesome. Chop two rounds off of this if you want to keep your legs fresh. Then get some good rolling out and/or a nice pre-race massage by Joanne when you're done today!
Five rounds for time of:
Handstand walk 25 yards
50 Squats
From K. Scott-Dixon at Precision Nutrition, here's a cool interview reminding us about the value of some simple outdoor exposure. The indoor electronic environments we've created just don't cut it when it comes to healthy stimulation.
“We live in a distracted world. The challenge for knowledge workers is to stay on point and avoid all the distractions that surround us — whether it’s an email that we decided to open — then it takes us 24 minutes to get back on task again — or whether it’s distractors on a screen, or driving in traffic, whatever. This is the age of distraction.
“We’re swimming in a sea of fast-moving information. It takes a tremendous toll on the brain, having to go through your day having to filter out distractions. The idea of ‘multitasking’ is nonsense. It’s not supported by the fMRI studies. Multitasking creates stress.
“The fallout from that is an incredible cognitive fatigue. We’re expending a tremendous amount of effort and energy having to inhibit our natural responses.” - Dr. Alan Logan
After Nicole's Candlesticks on Saturday and this wod, I'm all set to join Cirque du Soleil! Love the fun random challenging events :) 17:24 handstand walking (stacatto style) the 15 laps and squats over the 10" box to be sure I got low enough. Suzie...good job! It's fun being upside down sometimes :)

20:27 with I guess I would call them wall crawls (?). At any rate I got inverted! That's right I did wall assisted handstands Woohoo!
Then I did the 15 laps carrying 35# plate.
