I slept in this morning because I'll be at work late into the night/early into the morning hours. I was hoping to get to CFOT at some point this morning, but it was just smarter for me to sleep in. After a hearty breakfast and a quick cast of the ballot this morning, I decided to hit an oldy but goody. I headed out to the exorcist stairs and put together a little workout in honor of democracy and the electoral college. The magic number today is 270. Right? Senators McCain and Obama need 270 electoral college points to win. So, I figured I had to do 270 reps for today's workout.. Stupidly.. here's what I put together..
Workout:
9 Rounds for time
10 pullups
10 pushups
10 air squats
1 lap up and down the stairs
Total: 39:11
We all know my math is challenged, so I hope this ads up to 270. 30 x 9 = 270. I'm pretty sure that's right. Regardless, by round 6 I was really, really hating myself and the electoral college! It's one thing to do 10 pullups in the blue room on the swinging bar. It's something completely different to do 10 pullups on a big, fat bar that is outside in the rain. It is really easy to kip yourself off of that stupid bar. Another thing I was really surprised about was how easy the pushups were. I had no problem banging those out. Very smooth! As you can tell by my time, this workout took forever. I can justify my time though. I figure it was in honor of James Madison. He believed in a system of checks and balances that would slow down the work of the government. That's just what I gave him!! A very slow workout that was done with a lot of thought and absolutely no compromise.

Funny that you posted this. I was wondering all day if any CF'ers were doing a 270 WOD. I was going to write one up, but you nailed it. Leave it to the DC CF geeks to come up with a 270 WOD though, right?
Thanks for the props Harold. I was going to do a voting location run... run from local to local until I did 270 burpees or something stupid like this.. but after doing some quick math.. I figured this little 270 workout would do the job. It smoked me big time!!
I know... only in DC. What a dork!
Adrienne, I love the stuff you come up with. Nice work! This would have taken me much much longer. Running and push-ups being two of my nemesis... nemesi? Eh... you get the idea... sweet job!
this one was surprisingly horrible! I'm sure you could have killed it though!
