@Priscilla — great to hear the PB is sending a delegation! See you tonight!

@Greg: Ah, I wish. Lauren and I are merely sympatico. But it is kind of freaky how that keeps happening.

@David: Good on ya. I could see how tough that WOD was for you, but you pushed through it. It’s never easy to still be working while others are finishing, but that is exactly where we build character, not just muscles.

And beer is always a good thing to bring. Like my mother taught me as a young child, “It doesn’t go bad. Not like fruits and vegetables.”

Wait, that didn’t sound right.

hmmmm… Anybody checkout the main site WOD for today (Friday)? I’m starting to wonder how many of the HQ strings Lis pulls in the background. This is for sure a sign that Dan should do Fran at his party tonight.

Yeah I got 17:22 but I’m sure your cleans were much more pretty then mine! I love Tuck jumps so that’s where I was happy!
Nice work Donna!
I felt like crying in the middle because my boys at the gym left me to be in pain alone and unlike tough ass Darsh I need some cheerleaders to get me to push harder.
I was doing one clean at a time and it’s the first time a WOD put me on my knees mid WOD! Yikes.
Lift heavy shit fast!

I’m all for lifting heavy sh*t. That workout (the tuck jump, squat clean ringding suck fest) really challenged me. I kept thinking, a “did not finnish” would be ok or “Hey, maybe you could drop the weight on your foot and say you are injured.” It just sucked and I was nowhere near close to as rx’d. When I started, I had 135# and then after rep 1 when I ended up on my arse, I thought no way! So I dropped to 125 and was able to eek out a couple, I think 10. Then had to drop another 10 lbs. It took forever and a day to get through the 45 squat cleans. I used the blue band for the ring dings which was ok, I got through 3 sets of 10 and then 2 sets of 5, a set of 2 and then 3 sets of 1. My performance really depressed me, however, at the end of it I was totally stoked because I didn’t quit and even though I had to wuss up, I finished. I am looking forward to eventually trying Fran. I’ve got 2 pull ups in a row, so I’m a ways away from 21 pull ups, but I look back at my journal from where I started and see the progress. Next year I may be able to do a Fran as rx’d. We’ll see.

I’m looking forward to beating Dan out of the gang tomorrow. Is there still beer in the back? Or should we bring some more?
Cheers…

What did you do? Jen C. did a lot better than me! She got 17 min something, with a lighter band.

I think next time I need to concentrate on getting 3 cleans in a row each time, instead of 2. Oh — and all that bodyweight junk.

But, Greg, that might break the charter of the Lis and K WOD Club:
All members must lift heavy sh**.
Only numbers 1, 3, or 5 will be used.
Anything squattish takes precedence over anything metconish.
If it doesn’t involve a barbell, we don’t want it.
Jumpropes are for sissies.
All club talk must center around female body parts.

(Did I miss anything?)

@Lis – I guess we know this means… We must insist that at least one other CFW member is in attendance when Kathrine shows up for a WOD. That way it doesn’t get turned into a ‘Let’s just do 3′s or 1′s of lifting heavy s***’.
