Yep- time for the big monthly workout- hope you all make it to Cherry at 10 am. Sadly, I won't be there- I've got to present at a convention for my "other life," but I wish you guys lots of fun. Can't divulge the details, of course, but I will say this: it is a team workout, and you should wear clothes supporting your favorite football team- sudden death to be decided by who has the best outfit.
So, Mustafa sent me this pic the other day- apparently he did the Ali the Incredible workout sans medicine ball, so he used a large bag of rice??? This is a shot that he sent me of the "rice casualty"- apparently it's not a good idea to throw bags of rice around. Word to the wise. Is it just me or does this pic kind of have a third world vibe to it? And where did you get a large sack of rice? The bags I see at the supermarket are always so small...
65 pushups, please. Thank you sir, may I have another?!

at the asian store. duh!!!
T minus 15 minutes til Group Saturday CrossFit. Did my 65 this morning (but I bet there's going to be more today).
*DING*DING*DING* Lil' Stephanie is CORRECT! :-D
Been on the East Coast for training but I'm keeping up.....65 done. I would like to thank Delta Airlines for preventing me from attending Crossfit & Beer 4...and for losing my luggage.
FOUL! Brief recap: My draft pick - scouted a devilishly quick 105 pounder out of Willow & Cherry - "Luscious" Liz - to play tight end (no wise-cracks, er, remarks!). Our team - AZ State Sun Devils. Look at Alan as/and our mascot (see inset)! Spooky resemblance! Controversy: we TD, XP, then penalty @ the 50(%) line! I'm just personally foul: that shouldn't count as a personal foul!
After the half, Liz's big thrusters, amazing K2E work got us a quick FG. NOBODY SAID WE COULDN'T GET AN XP FOR RUNNING, so I ran! $&%@ing ref whistles it back! I thought we had an interception anyway! Had steady day at QB/FB - but Luscious came up big on thrusters, pull-ups, K2E, box jumps, and we put up another FG! Would have scored again, but time ran out. (We're gonna take a hit in the polls this week.)
EXCELLENT WORK LIZ!!! :-D Congrats to the winners! (and everyone else who came out!)
65 done
O.K., if no one's going to explain ...
Today's theme: Football Follies.
Format: Teams of 2 - select team name.
Objective: Score points (duh!), awarded by completing the following routines
Touchdown (TD) 6pts: 80 squats/40 pullups/30 kettlebell swings/20 burpees.
Extra Point (XP) 1pt: 200 meter run.
Field Goal (FG) 3pts: 20 thrusters (55/95)/30 knee to elbows/20 boxjumps.
Penalty: not completing the chosen routine gives no points (basically, the "all-work-no-pay" penalty).
CAVEAT: only 1 person working at a time, but each person must do at least 20% of a given exercise.
Now does that jumble above make sense?
(While Liz's run counted, I think our second run should count as a 2 point conversion!)
nice picture Mustafa.....
good job guys!
Sorry I was not there, but we had an open house in Tustin.
I was glad to hear Roger was there to represent....
Hey- I'm innocent. I just checked the email that I sent to the guys explaining the workout, and it clearly states that an extra point is required after a touchdown (not a field goal).
Something tells me people will be waiting in the parking lot for you this week, Steve...

Bummer about the luggage Kev. Since you kindly thanked Delta, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Volvo for selling me a crappy car- my gear shift snapped like a twig yesterday. Maybe too much Crossfit?

Gotta get off those 'roids, Jenn.
64 done.
Ooooo: I'm telling! Jim owes a pushup!
C'mon Steven: post those hard-charging numbers already! Kim was a MACHINE! Jason A. was ... well ... Jason A. (Über MACHINE!). I couldn't keep up, what with all the officiating going on a controversial calls on my team - but I did notice that EVERYBODY ROCKED!!!!
65 are done!!!!!!!
Jenn, all went well - rules totally followed. Steve not to blame... this time. We were only allowed to run for the extra point AFTER scoring a touchdown, and I think Moose tried to run for one at the wrong time
(I almost tried it too, Moose! With a minute left, I thought "maybe one more point"... Was shot down, of course.)
Definitely was a fun game today, guys. I enjoyed kicking major a** with my "Wolverine" partner, Kirk! And I got a massive rip on my hand as a souvenir. Woo hoo!
DANG IT! Kim's someone you can trust, SO DANG IT KIM: STOP KILLING MY CONTROVERSY! I'm just trying to score ... some ... points... and ... you guys ... clearly won ... and ... why am I still talking?
BIG BIG UPS to you TOTALLY ROCKIN' TEAMS! We don't need the AP or BCS polls: EVERYONE'S A WINNER FOR DOING THE WOD!!!!!! WE GOT WINNERS HERE!!! (Except that I think the "Wolverines" were more winners than the rest.)
CROSSFIT ROCKS!!!!!
Devils RULE!!!!
