Guess ill just take my dumbbells to pool tmr

Correct me if I'm wrong but the subs should be the following for the swim:
800 meter run
1000 meter row
2000 meter bike
This is based on the WOD From 120811 of
Swim 100 meters
Run 400 meters
Row 500 meters
Bike 1000 meters

I would say that 1000m row is probably the closest sub for 200m swim.

Just a quick question, If I were to row on a concept 2 rower(as a sub for swimming). What level should the 1000m row be?

Thanks guys. Smash it.

Yes!!! I love swimming! Thank you!!!!

Good memory bobby, i think those subs are perfect. Can never really get a great sub for swimming but well do out best.

@ #3

A 200m swim is much more intense than an 800m run or 1000m row, also totally different muscle action. I'll sub a 200m bear crawl. Can't wait to hit this one! RIP Sergeant Tully.

23 reps for each day in August of 07.

It's good that there are hero workouts. Every time before I attempt a hero WOD, I research on internet the name and story of a fallen hero to learn about their sacrifice and think for a moment about their families.

Today, my thoughts and heart goes out to Tully's family.

@ chrisso -comment 6- level 4 on the rower is about what water feels like to a rowIng boat, a swimmer has way more drag so I'm guessing you'd have to set it to 8 or 10 level. But smarter folks might have better ideas.

This looks great, except that I can't take dumbbells to the pool at the Y... I'll have to get creative.

@ Jj #11. Thanks for the feedback, I can't wait to take this one on. I can appreciate it's hard to sub swimming!

Tully this ones for you

AWESOME!!!!! Can't wait for this one...

creative sub for 200m swim: 1000m row with weighted vest

@DMG, a 1000m row with a weighted vest is a bit too creative unless you row standing up.

sub for the swim or the squat cleans?

RIP, brother.

Time - 35:07
Subs: 12kg(each) dumbbells and 1000m rows.

Great workout dedicated to a great person.

Hello,

I am reaching out to my Crossfit community on behalf of my friend Brandon's family.

byDawn Bowling

Brandon contracted Aplastic Anemia after returning home from his second tour in Iraq. Due to the nature of this disease and its effects on the Immune System, he is unable to work. He is currently awaiting a Bone Marrow Transplant donor. And Brandon has a 12yr old daughter that needs her dad!!

Friends and Family would like to ask you to visit the National Bone Marrow Donation Website to consider being tested as a donor, if not for Brandon, then for someone else's life you could save.

Please help us get the word out, Please if you can't donate, pass this on to someone else whom might, thank you!

Thanks

The Family and Friends of Brandon Jesser

The link to the fundraiser is:
https://fundrazr.com/campaigns/1LlX0?psid=b66073a9701e49188d93456ef3a4ac49

Please if you can give even a dollar it would be one less this veteran's family has to spend. But if you could be the donor to save his or someone else's life, that would be the greatest gift. If you cannot give I understand, please post it to any social media you can. If you have questions or suggestions please email me. Please lets come together as the community I know we are and help this hero and his family.
Thank you

I did the power clean workout today, followed by an hour of exersize before work. Got off work to look at tomorrows and saw it was a hero workout. Figured the best way I could suffer was to go do it tonight. I'm a terrible swimmer as far as form, so it's a hell of an upper body workout for me. However, as bad as I wanted to puke and fall down, I busted this one out for Tully. Luckily, my gym let me take dumbells to the pool. The worst was carrying them back upstairs after this insane workout. RIP brother! Get it crossfitters!

Looking for a suitable sub for dumbell squat clean as I have a busted knee. I want to do the swim, so something that would be suitable for at a pool?
Thanks.

I really want to do this, how do you do the squat cleans.....dry off and put shoes on after each swim or just do the them barefoot (in my DT's)?

When is Crossfit going to collaborate with Total Immersion to begin encouraging proper and efficient swimming form?

Cant recomment Rowing to sub swimming. Rowing is like Weightlifting while sitting, so the Movement and used Muscles are quite the same in comparison to the squats. Swimming or subing with running or bike would be the best imho.

Besides i get confused with the pound to kg all the time i had too heavy dumbbells in the first round and i subed the squats to 15 reps. after round 2 i switched from 1000m rowing to 800m run and in the 4th round i did 500m row because i have a rowing regatta at the weekend and didnt want to do full exhausting.

But its a real heavy WOD, nice one.

36:20
80# barbell sq. Cln.

Sub hill climbers for swim. Pushup position, then alternate legs and bring each knee up towards chest. I did 200 each leg, timing was pretty close to some of the swimmers. 28 minutes.

Well I'm back on duty today. So no access to a pool, plus the Y has theirs drained for cleaning. might make this one up tomorrow if the pool is back opened. Terrible swimmer I don't float! I'm going to figure something else out for today. Just wont take a rest day.

37:31
8x25y short course in the pool for the 200m swim.

Fair winds and following seas on your journey warrior!

I didn't want to do this wod as it sounds brutal. Then thought about Tully and all the rest of the soldiers and the ones who post here and thought - they don't skip out on tough assignments. Thank you soldiers. Let's do it!

Stupid question, is that 40pound dumbell each side or total?

Did thruster/run WOD. Details on Tuesday's entry.

50 Squats per round instead of Dumbbell squat clean

My first Hero WOD and day two of crossfit! I'm in the Army and I hit the post crossfit gym during my lunch. Unfortunately, no pool but I substituted the swim with 800m row. I started with the 40# but had to drop to 30#. End result: 36:12 and felt destroyed!!! I loved it!!

Perhaps YOU have never swam before. The combination of getting into/out of the pool, constant flutterkicking, and timing your breaths all take its toll. I would have gladly ran 800m or rowed 1000m vs the 200m swim.

What would I know about swimming though?

Still getting used to squat cleans so when I started out they were actually power cleans which were a lot harder so had to do 18. Once I got through the 2nd set, thoroughly sweated out and tired, I wasn't pulling as much as would drop down under the weight faster like a true squat clean.

Great workout, if I'd started w/squat cleans I think I might've been able to finish 23 reps. Still kicked my ass and my shoulders will definitely be sore.

Sub'd swim with 800m run. Didn't time it - tough work out. My core was struggling on the last 2 runs!
