Challenge WOD 4 “Nautical Nancy”
Workout of the Day (WOD)
“Nautical Nancy”
5 Rounds [17 minute time cap]
400m Row
15 Overhead Squat (m = pvc/65/95, w = pvc/45/65)
This WOD was created specifically to honor the 30 men and one dog that gave their lives for our country on August 6, 2011. It is 31 minutes long—one minute in remembrance of each hero. The rep scheme is 8-6-11—the date of their ultimate sacrifice. Finally, this is a partner WOD. The men who gave their lives were from multiple branches of our military, working together as a team. In the workout you and your team member will constantly be taking the load from each other providing much needed support and relief. We realize that no physical sacrifice made during a workout can come close to the sacrifice our brave heroes made, but we consider this WOD a CrossFitters “moment of silence.” This is how we can honor those that gave all in the name of freedom.
Sign up to participate in the WOD on Saturday, August 1st from 9am-12pm. For more details and to register click here.

Summer Yoga Series at CrossFit Midtown
We have a 2nd guest Yoga Instructor this Saturday 6/20 at 12 PM as we begin our summer yoga series at CrossFit Midtown. Lana Wilson believes yoga is a terrific option for athletes to complement the often-repetitive motions of training particularly in CrossFit. For Lana, yoga is a lifestyle; it is freedom and bliss. She grew up watching her father practice yoga daily but it was not until she began to experience the demands of getting an engineering degree that she turned to the practice. As a former gymnast and cheerleader, Lana initially practiced yoga as an outlet for physical expression, but it grew into a sustained devotional passion as she transitioned to professional life.
Warm and energetic, Lana will lead you through a dynamic, powerful sequence that cultivates awareness of the mind-body-breath connection. Her classes build heat and intensity with an engaging blend of alignment-based instruction and focus on the foundation. Vital elements include effective flexibility training, foundation and core stabilization, strengthening and balance work.

Rest 2 minutes between matches.
**Scale to 20 (Single + DU), Speed Step (1:1, R+L = 1), or to Singles (2:1)
(~)Both partners must finish their 4th Tandem Burpee and then yell/call “Cutoff!”. Until “Cutoff” is yelled other team may still complete C&J.
Flip a change weight to see which team starts in section 1 and the other will start in section 2. Reps for Double unders, burpees, and distance for sprint are individual totals. Both partners working at the same time on the same movement to complete their individual total. Teams competing against each other should use the same 2 bars for [Section 2] provided athletes are all doing Rx or all doing the same scaled weight.
Team with most Clean & Jerk after 3 matches wins “Cutoff!”
Post team total C&J completed from 3 matches.
2v2 Ex: 107 vs 95 Rx.
2v1 Ex: 65 (scaled) vs 32 Rx+ — Team of 2 wins because reps/person = 32.5!
