Joanne's final time - 20:27
Theo's final time - 13:38 (12# dumb bells)
Marc's final time - 15:41 (12# dumb bells)

Notes (to myself) about this workout:
This was one of those workouts where I wished I did no time clock because I wanted to push the weight and work on form. The site prescribed 25# dumb bells for women. I used the bar because (1) I don't like using dumb bells and (2) there weren't enough dumb bells to go around. It would have been better if I did a 45# or 50# bar. There were only 10 reps, so I think I really could have pushed it, adding a few minutes to my final time, which is not a big deal.

Ideally, I like to take at least 25 minutes to finish the WOD. If the WOD is easier, I like to take time to work on pushing weight and focusing on form. It's just hard to do that when everyone else is speeding through the workout. I just need to remember this for the future.

I took Nikko and Marc to the workout. I was glad to see Marc there because his first WOD devastated him. They both did great. This WOD gave Nikko a sense of what kind of weight he can push. I get the feeling that he likes the workouts more and more as he does them.
