I use to train at Crossfit Flood but have always followed CJ, Danny and Nic around like a puppy. I LOVE the posting today. I'm coaching over here and have a few injured girls and guys. I could really use a video of Kath doing some of her WODs. It think it would help motivate and inspire my group. So please send me video of Kath doing her modified WODs!! Thank you and keep rocking!

My nordic journey has concluded and I hope that everyone who participated enjoyed their own journey during the past 30 days. You all were and are great sources of inspiration each and every one of you. Watching athletes of all kinds of backgrounds embark on this month long quest and to see the incredible achievements that took place was nothing less than "Invictus." I believe that is the only way to describe it. A special thanks to AT for his organization, encouragement, inspiration and leadership throughout this event. The Krakow Kid Cynthia, sorry to let you down but that last 300K wasn’t in my skill set this time around!

Then absolute horror. Body went numb. Awesome stuff. Note: chinups due to slight injurys, the ohs bar-only loading was just what my shoulder can handle anyway. Strict Chinups
24, 18, 12

Death by OHS
22mins + 19 reps

OHS deceptively easy. Then absolute horror. Body went numb. Awesome stuff.

I can't believe you rowed (and continue to row) that many meters. My ass is sore just thinking about it. I didn't have a goal up on the board (too many things to work on!) so 100k was my own little goal. I'm glad it's done! POS, you are so damn inspiring in so many ways!

There are a couple of examples of people that over come the internal battle and stand as inspirations to us and themselves. One arm push-ups...sick! As far as the WOD, I love OHS and would jump into this WOD happily, however, due to death by front squats yesterday, I am hoping that CJ has something else to beat me up with. All fun and positive nonetheless! Very inspiring Kath! There are a couple of examples of people that over come the internal battle and stand as inspirations to us and themselves.

If anyone is interested I do an annual bike ride from Palm Springs to Las Vegas (275 miles) then run a 13.1 mile run. Day 1 is Palm Springs to Baker (170 miles) Day 2 is Baker to Vegas (105ish+). I have been doing this with a group that have been doing this event for 20 years. Let me know if you are interested. There is a "shorter" course too, but this ride is not a "fun ride" and not for the faint of heart...so if you are interested I want you to know what you are getting into. Two years ago I did the ride and have suffered the loss of feeling in my pinky and ring finger due to temperatures and all day rain on day 1...so be warned. Sounds like there are a couple folks out there who might want to join in. I believe the date has been set for January...so let me know. atowle@me.com Kath: Phenomenal job!!

I am amazed at her ability to adapt to the rigors of what has been thrown her way. Nice work on the run, Kath! We're super proud of you!
