Contender: Photo of the Year, CrossFit Watertown. Lis suffers on the thrusters, Duffy suffers on the Glute-Ham Developer, and Nate enjoys it all.
Yesterday’s CrossFit.com WOD was so brutal that the Sat morning crew did it too! And hated it just as much! Yes!
And we hate to say it, but farewell (for now) to our college students who hung with us over Winter Break. We’ll miss Greg #2 and Alex — you both better come back and see us on future breaks!
Three more Overheard at CrossFit Watertown quotes. Post your speaker guesses in Comments. (Note: These are 3 different speakers.)
On the squat: “Tell me where my butt is supposed to be.”
On the push-ups: “My boobs are touching the ground!”
On life: “Everything is so much bullsh**.”

CFW Photo of the year indeed…and there’s not even a beer in it
And you made the poor sat am crew fight through that hell storm? thats just horrible
January 17th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
“My boobs are touching the ground!” – That one HAS to be Rich!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS JUST IN:
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Lis Darsh SuperMegaHyperLuckyFun extra 5 pull-ups in this WOD weren’t extra at all! It IS supposed to be 35!
January 17th, 2009 at 1:30 pm
I was a little fatigued…
I hate thrusters – maybe I should start doing five a day in the warmup – I just can’t get my hip timing down!
January 17th, 2009 at 1:53 pm
Did we ever even get answer’s to yesterday’s three?
my guesses:
#1 – sounds like becky
#2 – i’m going to have to stay away from this one
#3 – K / Yentl?

Yesterday’s answers were:
Lis
Caitlin
Ray-Ray
Chris — after you left, I noticed that too! But it sure was fun to hate me for the 5 extra, wasn’t it? (I am a GENIUS! Or really bad with numbers. You decide.)
That WOD was so bad we’re going to have to do it again next month — right, Chris? (And Sue? If she’s still speaking to us?)
January 17th, 2009 at 2:44 pm
Lis – we all learned early that you were not great with numbers…
Reflection on Becky’s first training with Lis experience:
Becky starts doing pushups
Lis: “one, two, three and did you know…”
Becky continues with push-ups as Lis tells a story
Lis: “..and that’s why you shouldn’t eat cupcakes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. what are we on? oh ya Four, Five…”
And Becky falls on her face as her arms give out after completing 100,000,000 pushups

Although I guess I did just learn that my dad wears lace panties — I can’t believe that RayRay
My guesses for today’s quotes:
1. Darlene
2. Rich
3. Kathrine

Wow! That was like instant replay!
And you know my super-secret trick: If someone asks you what number they are on and you don’t remember, just say something really low. Never go higher. Never.

LOL @ becky “195″ TM (which sounds like a radio station btw)
i first realized when it was fran or elizabeth or some workout where the scheme was 3 rounds; 21-15-9 and lis wanted us to to 3 rounds of 21-15-9……fortunately we were able to go online and settle the dispute before any real damage was done
January 17th, 2009 at 3:15 pm
Lis,
You look tough as nails! Great photo!
January 17th, 2009 at 3:36 pm
Even though I have a horrible time keeping track of numbers, I even know not to let Lis keep track of the numbers.
January 17th, 2009 at 4:15 pm
@Lis- I’ll do this workout again, but NOT before the Deadlift/Burpee one (right, Sue?)
January 17th, 2009 at 4:41 pm
Did this WOD bring another outburst out of Sue??
January 17th, 2009 at 4:49 pm
That workout put me right on my rear. After the 30/30 combo of GHD situps and hip/back extensions, I thought I was going to meet pukie the clown again. I’ll do that WOD again, but I need to hit ghd situps more. I felt like my body was saying “WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME!!!”
January 17th, 2009 at 4:50 pm
You all rock at CF. But is math challenged a requirement too?
My guess?
1. Becky
2. Mary
3. Lis
Could have been me Chris!! If I had a chest like Dan
@Lis, I think that WOD “Fran on Steroids” would be the best inaugural WOD for the new digs (Box) with all invited guests. What does the rest of the CFW population think??
January 17th, 2009 at 4:51 pm
By the way, I feel I need to brag that I took the photo of the year. You’re all welcome.
January 17th, 2009 at 5:37 pm
Kirk takes one photo and he’s Ansel Adams.
January 17th, 2009 at 5:38 pm
Did I mention that I never took a single math class at Vassar? Not one. Big surprise, huh?
January 17th, 2009 at 5:39 pm
Great pic Kirk!! Lis your a Beast!!!! and my dirty woman was caught doing nothing, again lol
@ Becky.. I feel ur pain. Everytime I workout Lis tricks me into doing 200 of everything ;p
January 17th, 2009 at 5:40 pm
Hahaha
I’m going to call Kirk Ansel from now on!
January 17th, 2009 at 5:41 pm
@-lis.. OMG I just looked @ the powerbarn blog…. are they actually mad? lol
January 17th, 2009 at 5:43 pm
Oh, and I think I got a little caught up in yesterday’s WOD and should publicly state that I really don’t consider Duffy my “bitch” because he didn’t get done with those GHD sit-ups by the time I was done with the pull-ups.
(Who is that person that comes out during the WODs? She looks like me, but the things she says! Oy vey!)
January 17th, 2009 at 5:46 pm
What does “wtfe” mean? I know WTF. And WTFO. But not that variant.
January 17th, 2009 at 6:59 pm
you looked at the power barn blog and you didn’t congratulate me on my kipping pullup??????biatch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!now we’re really mad!!!!!( if we were mad to begin with??)
oh, i just know wtf…what does wtfo mean??
January 17th, 2009 at 7:35 pm
Matt, I’m proud of you, brother! That is awesome news!
(WTFO is the military version, just add “Over” to the end.)
January 17th, 2009 at 7:50 pm
Hey, guess what I just found? All the deadlift video from the CFT! LOL
January 17th, 2009 at 7:52 pm
Wow — and more box jump video!
Ok, I am officially a mess and overwhelmed.
January 17th, 2009 at 8:37 pm
Actuall folks…I really did LOVE that workout yesterday…I completely ripped the skin off of my right hand and I could barely walk up the stairs today, but all in all, I d have to say it was pretty frikin’ wonderful….As for the whole “Deadlift/Burpee” workout, I think we should name it “Sue” so that when I’m NOT THERE to do it you all won’t miss me!!!!
January 17th, 2009 at 9:20 pm
FABULOUS photo!! Lis is an inspiration…
January 18th, 2009 at 8:33 am
ahhh Sue had her first rip……that only means that your that much closer to real pullups Sue, it still stings like a royal b*tch though
anyways its sunday am, i’m up and its snowing so I’m going to head over the CFW and hope that someone else is there this morning
January 18th, 2009 at 9:18 am
‘I am officially a mess’ oh good, I didn’t want to mention it until it was ‘official’
Lis, that bar looks heavy, why aren’t you smiling?
Sue, I know you love deadlifts, so it must be the burpees you are not fond of.
1-Becky
2-Dan
3-Lis with her positive outlook
January 18th, 2009 at 10:29 am
And the answers are . . .
1.) Jackie #1
2.) K
3.) Ray Ray (again!)
