Buds got to 165 reps, getting 5 of the 225# clean and jerks. He did a fantastic job and earned every single one of those reps.

One of our coaches sent me this video after the WOD:

His face at the end makes me smile. Those jerks aren’t pretty, but they were earned.

I get so excited when I’m cheering for him. I love it.

A few other shots:

And here’s the happy Ginnie, WOD all complete, ready to sit and cheer.

Given the choice, I will go first because it is way more fun to get done than to torture myself watching other people.

My final count was 160 reps. I attempted the 95# cleans, but couldn’t ever hit one.

Next time.

Finally, here’s the happy couple, both all done, watching and cheering for a fellow athlete.

20.5 and done coming up.
