Great WOD today HQ Roosters awesome energy all around! 23:43 no RX for me today… had to drop to my knees on the last 2 rounds of push ups. Ranger killed this WOD today! I’m really curious to see what your time was. Great job all around gang!!

This is a WOD that I think I could do sub 11 minutes on a Monday..but after being beaten up all week, it was 13 and change RX.
Turbo or someone at Garage, can you let me know my exact time? CK was 13:40…I have a suspicion that I just missed that.

Webster you rocked this morning, mod PUs and all! I bet you would have been sub-22 if you had realized it was 4 rounds, not 5. Woops! Here’s a little limerick that I thought suited today’s wod, a la HQ roosters.
“The CFHC Hex”
Staring at the board, I debate going Rx,
Wishing, as always, I could be the other sex,
But can’t succumb to the temptation like Ranger,
Oh shit! 70# KBs definitely spells danger,
How have I again fallen for the CFHC hex?!?

Nick – first a Haiku now a Limerick – love it!
I was so tired this AM, I’m just glad I got out of bed and went to roosters. 15:41. Definitely gonna do this wod over another day. Thanks for the push Insane, I was massively dragging a$$ today!
Ranger
January 27, 2012, 10:26 am
@Webster – Thanks for the shout out! Are you sure it took you 23:43? I swear I heard you call time closer to 23:41…
Anywho, don’t sweat the no Rx because your energy level was off the charts! If we were using attitude instead of weight as a measurement you would have definitely Rx’d that one!
I gave it my all, but no Rx for me either, but I guess that’s just the way the cookie crumbles. I’ll get there again one day so long as the wod doesn’t call for a load over 95#. I’m not sure of my time, but I think it was 15 something. I kept failing on the last pushup so that cost me a solid 30 seconds and I took a few balls to the chin while trying to hit the 10 foot target

Ok guys. I am writing this for 2 reasons: (i) I’m a proud dad sharing a minor exploit with athletes and (ii) hopefully another anecdote demonstrating that CROSSFIT WORKS. Carson, my 6 year old, has been doing Crossfit Kids with Book for 3-4 months (2 days a week) – I have seen him develop through all of the endurance, flexibility, strength, and competitiveness that Crossfit and the coaches offer. Carson started this program slightly uncoordinated , little endurance, and no strength. Today at his school they had a fundraiser whereby students ran a marked course that equaled 1/15 of a mile and, based on the number of laps completed at the end of the allotted time, pledged donations were applied to the number of laps. I went to encourage him and to my complete and utter surprise he crushed this thing completing what equates to approximately 2.25 miles, finished first in his grade, and in the top 2 of the grade above him. Now granted this not a gold medal at the Olympics but what was clear to me as he passed all these kids was that his overall level of fitness and desire to compete was amazing – and he had a smile on his face the entire time. Although I play sports with him, I know 100% that this stark improvement is because of the work that Book puts in with these kids; I RECOMMEND HIGHLY THAT THOSE WITH KIDS GIVE IT A TRY – THEIR FITNESS AND CONFIDENCE LEVELS WILL SKY ROCKET. Thanks CFHC!!!

Awesome story DB!
I’ve had my daughter (4) attend 2 CF Kids sessions with Thunder at the Garage. I’m trying to arrange her schedule (and my wife’s) for her to attend more. She loves it. Thunder is great (as I’m sure Book is too). It’s just a matter of scheduling.

Hey guys, I’m hoping to get this posted in the Upcoming events:
My practice has sponsored a Charity 5K run. It is called the Together We See Eye Run 5K. All proceeds are going to Camp Quest which is an organization that provides a real summer camp experience for people with special needs from age 8 to 80. It will be at the Boca Raton YMCA on Saturday February 18th at 5:00pm, with a post race BBQ to follow. The organizer, Jacob Goldberg, is a great local 17 year old kid who is legally blind and founded the organization Together We See. More information at http://togetherwesee-eyerun.org
I will be dropping off some brochures at TG and HQ. It’s only $20 if you register before Feb. 12th. If you can’t make the run, of course you can donate to his organization at the website above. Hope to see a nice big CFHC showing!!!!!!

Hi There –
If anyone wears a men’s medium t-shirt and is interested in two new Life AsRX T Shirts, please let me know. They were given to me as gift, but they are too small. So, you need to be smaller than me to wear them…or just really like to not breathe.

January 27, 2012, 1:44 pm
Lance will probably take them
Vegas
January 27, 2012, 1:49 pm
If they are skin tight on me, then Lance would probably rip them apart with a single flex.
So, come to think of it, maybe you’re right.

13:40rx, I wasn’t feeling it today. I don’t know if JVIC’s class or yesterday’s WOD did it to me, but first time I think I couldn’t do 15 wall balls without stopping.
Thanks for the vote of confidence iPod.

Vegas if no one claims one I will try it.
Ok peeps, today (i believe) marks my first 5 months at CFHC. It has been a great experience and I tell everyone about it. Yesterday I was in Orlando and an old friend saw me for the first time in 8 months and said how different I looked. I was real pumped about that. It has been awesome to meet so many new people. The other joy is getting to workout with my wife nearly everyday and her letting me win sometimes.

@CK…Vegas is your bitch. When you are full strength & your head is on correctly, there’s no competition…you dominate. iWas referencing Vegas’ silly comments about how he ‘thinks’ he would do if rested, etc. You da man CK…keep smacking him.

Indy I didn’t know it was so easy to make you feel good. You look marvelous! Plus I think Peggy is holding back. One day all of a sudden she is gonna bust out a string of muscle ups to really make us look bad. I had 14:09 RX today at 0830 class. Got one of my buddy’s in today as well who says he is going to join full time. The family is growing.

Every single one of these women busted their butts on this one. Seriously awesome to watch. Each of em were aware of where the other women were on their reps at all times, and they all pushed and chased each other. I should’ve gotten video, and I blew it! I was having way too much fun barking at em to keep driving that prowler lol. I just really loved seeing that group wod with that much intensity. Bunch of bad asses, each and every one of you. Much, much respect for you all! Sick job.

Dirty Bird- That is amazing how far Cool Carson ran today. I have to say your son has made some crazy improvements and the little fella pushes and brings all the intensity he’s got to class each time. Thanks for pushing and encouraging him each class.
Cool Carson- Great job buddy. Way to get 1st place in your grade. I am sure the adults are shaking in their boots because how good at CrossFit you and the other kids will be! See you Monday.
Adults- Encourage these kids & teens when you see them. Watching the kids and teens get better at lifts, running, gymnastics, etc…. is awesome. CrossFit is good for all ages and is a sport that can change overweight/out of shape youngsters. All you adults are examples and crossfitters they look up to and aspire to be. Keep that in mind.
Props to the LADY CREW at HQ today! You ladies busted your butt on that homemade Queen workout. An insane group of ladies without a doubt.
Chewie, Logan, 57- Thanks for the push on the dead lifts today as well. Always better to lift with someone yelling at you.
Chewie
January 27, 2012, 9:24 pm
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, Book got a 20# PR on his deadlift today by pulling 475. The Hanna stopped by an PR’d his snatch by ripping up 195, 10# PR. Things goin DOWN at HQ today! Impressive fellas, impressive!
