Dear CrossFit, Today I Did 7 Sh*t-tons of Work

No “exercise” today, but for those familiar with CrossFit units of measure, I did a little over 5 “sh*t-tons” of work today.  This is measured by the amount of weight (approximately 10,500) pounds moved from below grade (up to 11′ below grade) up to and onto a truck.  I also did another 2 sh*t-tons of work as measured by swinging an 8# sledge approximately 500 times to bust through a cinder block foundation once it had been revealed by moving the aforementioned 5 sh*t-tons of sh*t.  Yes a backhoe would have been the right tool, but for the fact we were working under a building and could barely get ourselves down there.

I also did 5 C&J of an 8″x8″x12′ beam that we jacked up under the floor to support the floor weight while we removed the offending cinder block wall.  I’m not sure how much it weighed, but it was certainly my PR for C&J of lumber.

I wonder what tomorrow’s “WOD” will be….
