A continuation of a long running double under duel from the firemen. Craig holds the record with 146 reps and Dan got soooooo close today with a massive save at 100 reps only to trip at 142...gut wrenching. Next time!!

It's the first Saturday classes for our Intro groups today. An opportunity for our regular members to help out our newbies in a team WOD.

Strength: Deadlift  3 x 5 reps 

Intro Class - Deadlift Technique and Kettlebell Swings

WOD:  CARDS

clubs = burpees

spades = kettlebell swing (24/16)

hearts = run (1x 400m only)

diamonds = Push Press (40/25)

In pairs or threes; your task is to get through a deck of cards.  

Suit denotes exercise, number on card = reps.

Picture cards = 10 reps, Ace = 13 reps and Joker = double the next card
