Showering...Post WOD Style

My fellow CrossFitters and rock climbers can relate...if you've never experienced this...strongly recommend it!

So...after a grueling CrossFit workout with pullups, KB swings, or anything that makes your hands go "ouch" afterwards, it is always interesting trying to follow up with your day...this is often the events following one of these workouts:

1. Carefully drive home so as not to touch the palm of of your hands to the steering wheel.
2. VERY carefully peel clothes off using only your fingertips and trying hard not to close hands.
3. Wash face with the tips of your fingers only.
4. Pour shampoo into the palm of your hand. As your eyes tear up, quickly try to rinse the shampoo off your hands while cussing because the water hurts just as bad.
5. Pour shampoo directly onto your head and use your fingertips to massage the shampoo in. Repeat with conditioner.
6. Grab soap. Eyes tear up again. Carefully lather up the washcloth with the soap while mentally making a note to buy liquid soap and a puff ball.
7. Look at razor and shave gel. Decide to wait until next week to attempt that.
8. Shut off shower, start to run hands through hair to wring it out, then remember (painfully) not to do that.
9. Towel off, only getting partially dry for fear of catching your now throbbing hands on the cloth.
10. Comb through hair and get dressed, ensuring you use only your fingertips.
11. Start to dry hair. Decide to wear hair up today.
12. Spend the rest of the day bragging to all your friends about the awesome workout and your crazy beat up hands.
