DL 42/ 42 / 41 = 125
Burp 16/ 15 / 15 / = 46
TOTAL = 461


This was fun! I trained with my clients tonight working my already sore as hell ass off from my last few training sessions, plus trying to play hockey last night (having not played for a year gets you sore all over).
The format for this WOD the Calgary Police use is based off Fight Gone Bad & CrossFit Training. I am pumped that the CP are adopting CF style conditioning, now I would like them to set a standard to take these physical tests on a yearly basis to keep them at the top of their game. Not only would they benefit by staying in top condition all year long, the Police would get a better standing in the public eye, replacing the existing stigma "fat donut eating, couldn't chase down a fat kid who stole smarties (our city protectors?).....oh yah and only testing their fitness once to get onto the force". I am sure there are a lot of Police officers that stay in great physical condition and that is great, my point is they should all be this way. If they were to keep themselves fit all year long and test their fitness, the respect factor would rise ten fold in everyones eyes!
All in all this is a great step in Calgary Recruit Training....well done!
