Epic Birthday Swim Rap - June 2015 Edition

Tuesday morning STEB got STUR for the birthday tradition
Three swims and CrossFit was their mission
Arrived at Chinquapin for swim number one

Ready to tackle tradition day!

How many meters would they swim? Probably a ton!
The Beast was there to share their lane
It'll be her only swim today - ain't that a shame?
When they were all done they changed for the next event

Time to "ManMaker" Up!
or
"I Can Make You a Man"

It was going to be CrossFit including ManMakers - and that's exactly how it went
What exactly is a ManMaker you ask?
Dumbbell burpees with rows then "jump" to a squat thrust was the task!
Before that fun was to begin there was skill work to do
Maximum effort back squats first, then the WOD, woohoo.
ManMakers apparently are a CrossFit birthday tradition

STUR, rocking the ManMakers!

One for every year - boy won't that be fun?
A rabbit just turned 51 on her recent birthday
That's how many were completed on this tradition day!

After the triple CrossFit workout session
STEB n STUR hit up 7-11 - oh thank heaven!
Slurpees and donuts were on tap
These rabbits were starving - that's a fact!
After a short break, what do you know?
Swim number two - they were gonna take it slow
Out in the outdoor pool - it's called Edsall Park
Nice to be outside where STEB used to hear "on your mark!"
They decided to do 51 x 50
As 51 is the theme it seemed pretty nifty!
There were lots of kids playing  around, it was almost a pain
Because wacky noodles and balls made their way into the lap lanes!!
Did one more fifty just to "grow on"-
That's okay since it didn't take long!

Swim #2 - check!

What do you know the rabbits were starved again/
Good thing that Chick-fil-A was the plan!
Sat outside to enjoy their meal-
Since the inside had a very cold feel!
Later on STEB made a discovery in the kitchen...
Diego the straw thief struck again!

He's cute but he's a thief!

The bunnies took a break before swim number three-
It was nice for a little while to be chlorine free!
Later it was time for swim number three
This time Audrey Moore was the place to be
When they arrived it was lane number 9...

No crimes were actually committed in lane #9!

Which of course was the scene of their crime!
Needed to get in another 2400 yards
A few extra minutes was in the cards!
Coach Kira helped keep us on task
Similar workout to the morning so some of it was fast.
The last thing we did was the "Auburn flop"
That's how we knew it was time to stop!
To close out the epic b'day swim day
Over to Kilroy's for beers and nachos - yay!

Cheers for beers!

RBud joined in for a little bit of swim recovery
And shared her experience at Challenge Atlantic City

Lots to celebrate!

Call us crazy with this workout day
But not like 5-1-5-0 crazy, we must say!
