3.9 mile loop. My dad and I went for a hike and swim. Saw some cool remnants of an old camp ground on Allatoona and nature stuff. Seeing the baby deer was pretty awesome too.

Tuesday's WOD
Did some strength training and one of the “girls” of Crossfit—Jackie.
Worked on bench and back squat for strength; 3x5 training. Then the metcon for the day was Jackie which consists of a 1000m row, 50 thrusters @ 45#, and 30 pullups.
Time: 13min 40sec
I finished rowing around 4 min and 20-something sec. Not sure where the other 9 minutes came from haha. I felt pretty good on...
