This isn’t the best photo ever but it shows the crowd at the 6am class today. Yup, we said crowd. 6 people at the 6 am! (And it would have been 7, if Kathrine didn’t “cupcake” out on us.)
See, just as we were starting to think that the people of CT don’t like to get up early in the morning, ya’ll go and surprise us.
What was it that Kirk said on the way to his car after the grueling barbell lunges and burpee workout? “After this, the rest of the day is going to be a piece of cake.”
In other news, Dan showed us he’s just a tad flexible.
And stay tuned, sports fans! World premiere of the all-male CF Watertown video today!

Ha.. That picture was taken at the start of the 1st round. Everyone still has their beanies on.

the only reason I got up this morning was because I heard K was coming to class….What a let down…Its not like the semester has even started. What else is there to do at 6am?!
I’m not sure I can allow a “cupcake” like that to stop by the office or pool deck anymore!!!

Hey, everyone. I’m trying to plan out a Saturday or Sunday to do our rock climbing excursion. Are there any days in the coming weeks that don’t work for you? I have class all day on the 31st, but I’m basically game any other time.

My beanie came off real quick. Brutal workout, but it was great. I’m glad I had five other people going at it with me. Greg and Dan really helped me push it and I think we all finished within a minute of each other, right?
@Chris: I think you’ll like this workout. Will you be around tonight?
@Kathrine: I hope you were nice and toasty in your bed.

I’m with Jill, thats the only reason I came this morning…very Kupcake indeed
and even with resting at the bottom of the burpee Greg still managed to fly through todays WOD, about 12 hours after his last WOD…very impressive and non-cupcake

Ya’ll are fabulous! With the exception of K whom we missed this morning!
January 22nd, 2009 at 11:16 am
@Jen L: You’re too nice! “With the exception of K whom we missed this morning!”
I’m not sure I would choose those words!

@Jill— well Miss. Teaches @ WestConn.. Ihad a final for my Intersession class…. You know, the classes that happen while you are in Florida????
lol

@- Everyone else…. I hate you lol
January 22nd, 2009 at 12:22 pm
ah… feel the love
January 22nd, 2009 at 12:43 pm
What an introduction to burpees…… I have never done 1 before this morning… and I ended up doing 105… I am certainly feeling it now… I am glad that you all were there to share in on the “fun”

k – who takes intercession classes anyway?!?!
Lis – I’ve been thinking about this since I go to practice this morning & looked out our pool which is 25 yards (75 feet). For me to go a pool length of walking lunges, I do 15 lunges…
The 17 was ok, I don’t mind it (other than its not teh same # of each leg, each round!) but I’m wondering of our calculations were correct!!!
January 22nd, 2009 at 2:19 pm
Jill come on now, you know about Lis & numbers…
In all fairness she assumed about 3′ per lunge x17 = 51′ , so………i think that means your walking lunges are about 5′, either way this would be a real fun one to try outside when the weather is nicer

@Kirk- I’ve got class this evening, so today is out. I’ll be there tomorrow for 5:00.
January 22nd, 2009 at 3:20 pm
@Jill and Dan: The curse of having a short-legged trainer! You might be able to do it in 15, but I might take 25! Be happy that we settled on 17 . . .
@Chris: If you’re in for the 5pm tomorrow, then you are mine . . . Bwahahahahahahaha
January 22nd, 2009 at 3:21 pm
@Tracey: LOL 105 Burpees — you can only go up from there!
Am I right, people?

Hello everyone. I have another overheard CrossFit Quote. Guess who said this? (this is almost too easy.)
“OK guys, you have 10 wall ball. Oh, and another 10 after that. Followed by two more…….and you have seven after that!”
Not the best quote around, but it truly made my day, or not.
January 22nd, 2009 at 4:27 pm
See? Only 34 wall-ball and you were done.
January 22nd, 2009 at 4:28 pm
Aretha says it should have been 44.
January 22nd, 2009 at 11:44 pm
@Lis- I would make some sort of comment along the lines of “Is that supposed to scare me?!?” but I know I’ll just pay for it.
Instead, I’ll just share a link to a basket of puppies: http://tinyurl.com/d4m98x
