15.5

Last night they announced the last workout of the 2015 CrossFit Open
15.5
We have until Monday afternoon to post a score.
For the first time, I was able to do the Rx version of the workout, instead of the scaled version. (The scaled version uses #45 instead of #65)

I wasn't sure I would be able to do the Rx version. #65 is a heavy thruster and I've never done that many. But I knew I could do 3. So I just kept doing 3, and stopping and doing 3 more and stopping until it was over. Which is of course the fun part of CrossFit, doing things you didn't think you could do. Now that I know it's possible, I may even try it again on Sunday for a better time.
Or maybe not.

Rx
27 calorie row
27 thrusters #65
21 calorie row
21 thrusters #65
15 calorie row
15 thrusters #65
9 calorie row
9 thrusters #65

Time: 16:35

Biking to Girdwood

This weekend Peter and Andy took Finn and Van and biked from Bird Ridge parking lot all the way to Girdwood! It was about a 14 mile bike ride.
Svea and I took the girls to Girdwood to play while we waited for them.

The day started in Svea's front yard, playing on the trampoline.

Here are the girls having lunch in Girdwood

We just got word that the boys are about to arrive so we walk down the road to meet them.

Here they are!

 Hooray!

 Fancy bikers

Bikes parked, ready to play

Van in his dream come true, riding his bike in the skateboard park.
"Mom want to come watch me do some cool tricks?"

 'This is the awesomest time ever'
(Van is writing picture captions for me right now)

 'Oh yeah, let's put the butts down, to the ground'
(another Van caption. Too much pop music I think.)

Eating his cookie prize.

Our fearless leader

Then everyone is asleep!

Dressed for spring

These two picked out their outfits

Esther brought me this dress and had me put it on and then did this.
