Low turnout at The Uptowner this morning. YHC had let Triple Shift know that I would cover for him as he went to Wolfpack Mountain chasing celebrity and fame. Where was the rest of the pax? Was it the unexpected rain, the empty promise of some TV time at Wolfpack Mountain, the confusing name and parking situation at The Uptowner, a really popular workout in another locale that Roots created (and 23 people attended on this chilly, rainy day)…I don’t know.
Warmup – SSH x 31 (Shout out to the Park’s Namesake); Imperial Walkers x 25; Choppin’ Wood x 15

The Wittman Hero WOD. 7 Rounds of
- 15 Kettlebell swings (thanks to Little Rock)
- 15 Power Cleans (thanks to Gibralter)
- 15 box jumps (thanks to The Wall)
That was it, I’m not sure if I ended on time or not. We counted off, reminded myself of the announcements and prayed out loud. Then, inspired by Worms, we took some pics.
The interwebs say that 15:00 is a good time for the Wittman WOD. What?!? Liars. It took me the whole friggin’ workout. I blame it on the fact that I am not very strong or athletic.
