One man, facing yet another round of ring dips . . . Kirk presses on. (Or out at the top, however you look at it.)
If you didn’t note it already, write down in your log books how many rounds you got in yesterday’s WOD, because we forgot to take a photo of the board at the end — whoops!
In other news, if you’re interested in getting a C2 Log Card, let us know. You just jam that puppy into the C2 monitor and it will record everything about your row, as well as store custom workouts, track total meters rowed, make you scrambled eggs or a mojito, etc. (At $5, it’s a pretty good deal.) If there’s enough interest, we’ll order a box.
SCHEDULE REMINDER: Friday’s night class is at 6pm, not 5pm.
Finally, a show of hands in Comments over who really is going to do the Push-up Challenge starting on the 16th. (If it’s a wash, let’s pick something else.)
Definitely the last thing today: CFW Casino/Lunge Trip tentatively scheduled for May 2nd.

Pretty impressive pic…Kirk inside his egg thinking “I must beat Greg” “I must beat Greg”…
March 12th, 2009 at 9:58 am
No way.. Kirk kicks my ass here till Sunday with ring dips. My hand is up for the C2 log card. My other hand is up for the Push-up Challenge because after we start I might not be able to lift both hands above my head.
Is the push-up challenge the 14 day thing that the life size picture of “The Boss” is partially blocking or is it something else? I guess I should have asked that question before I raised my hand. Oh well, better luck next time.
March 12th, 2009 at 10:07 am
I would like a C2 log card and I am in for the push up challenge.. (How could the “push up queen” NOT participate…) I am with Greg… what does it involve??
March 12th, 2009 at 10:09 am
Who doesn’t like push ups? I’ll do it too. What is the push up challenge?
March 12th, 2009 at 10:09 am
OK so I stalk the CFW boards and I see that it may I am being called out by Dan & Lis from yesterday. And as it happens I have May 2nd free. So I am in for the Casino trip and will happily do the planning. More info to come
March 12th, 2009 at 10:11 am
Oh and it just so happens that it is Sue’s Birthday on May 1st so I think its only right that we do Birthday Burpees on the casino floor.
March 12th, 2009 at 10:11 am
Whoooo hoooo! Sheelllllley!
March 12th, 2009 at 10:12 am
I am in for the pushup challenge – though if history dictates, my body will revolt at some point. That’s a lot of pushups for shizzle.
I will write up a WordPress widget to keep everyone on track, I just need the official rules
Oh yeah, I also have to say that my tukas is chaffed from the last couple days worth of situps.
Oh, and them C2 cards are nothing but trouble.
That is all. Carry on (my wayward sons).
March 12th, 2009 at 10:20 am
I will make sure that a sticker poster is ready for this weekend.
We should get stickers if we do pushups, right Chris?
I should be in for May 2nd…I just gotta double check the track schedule.
March 12th, 2009 at 10:21 am
Nate has a card. From the infamous Month of Rowing . . . that’s why he hates it . . .
In other news, the dimensions of the main training room in our new space: 66′x50′ approx. (3300 sf) — but you have to take into account the 6 lolly columns. Anybody want to go crazy on Google Sketch with ideas, feel free! (And Dan, please, if you have time!)
And, in the wall deco. category let’s think about what we want up there: Ten General Physical Skills, Words of Motivation, Jackie’s credit card number?
March 12th, 2009 at 10:24 am
@ Shelley – its just a little positive reinforcement / persuasion / bullying, thats all…and look at you, coming in here with a gravatar and everything
So whats this push-up challenge thing? It can’t possibly be worse then the burpee challenge
March 12th, 2009 at 10:29 am
@ Lis, I sent you a sketch awhile ago (before ‘fill fest and after ‘fil fest again) with the general room dimensions – If you could somehow locate the lolly columns for me and identify where the doors / windows are I can update it and we can start playing with different ideas
I’ll update the room dimensions and resend the sketch to your cfw email
March 12th, 2009 at 10:30 am
Im in for the push ups – I need some serious help….the other night I was failing miserably.
March 12th, 2009 at 10:38 am
just sent the updated sketch lis, get back to me whenever you can
March 12th, 2009 at 10:40 am
For decor you should take some funky angles of equipment and blow them up to huge sizes. Black and white of coarse.
March 12th, 2009 at 10:44 am
of course

I’m in… For the push-ups (assuming that they’re the Boss’s 14 days to better push-ups [which I started once before and made it through 2.15 days{yes, that means I did 30 push-ups on the third day and then stopped}]).
March 12th, 2009 at 10:50 am
that was supposed to be a raised hand but apparently wordpress parses out leading spaces. Use your imagination.
March 12th, 2009 at 10:56 am
Ok. Here we go:
1. I’m in for a rowing card.
2. I would like to do the push-up challenge starting on the 16th.
3. I am up for the casino.
March 12th, 2009 at 11:04 am
so whats the push-up challenge?
March 12th, 2009 at 11:07 am
Thanks for bringing up the birthday…you’re such a good “friend”….
As for the casino???? Sounds good for me. I can only imagine what sort of hi-jinks will happen…
March 12th, 2009 at 11:20 am
@Sue – sorry I could not help it. Dan made me do it!!! I will sacrafice myself and promise to do your burpees.
March 12th, 2009 at 11:31 am
Now that you’ve ventured onto the board…you’re no longer allwed to lurk in the shadows.
I think we should make a trip to CrossFit Gunks in Gardiner where Shelley lives…or we could go climbing at Minnewaska State Park…yikes!
March 12th, 2009 at 11:56 am
I’m thinking about how much my arse hurts from the chaffing caused by the situps in that photo. It hurts to sit down today. I also have a strange “rug burn” type deal on my upper back. I’m down for the pushup challenge. As you all know, I love push ups. I’m out of town at a wedding on May 2….you’ll have to have fun without me
March 12th, 2009 at 12:12 pm
Have been to CF Gunx yet Shelley? Its about an hour north of me and I’m always interested in checking out new boxes.
I finally caved in and ordered an abmatt & set of new rings from rogue for my place new place
March 12th, 2009 at 12:52 pm
Dan, do you really check out new boxes?
More importantly, does your girlfriend read this blog?
And, is she still your girlfriend?
(K. was asking.)
March 12th, 2009 at 12:53 pm
between all the shoes CFW has bought from Rougue and Dan buying stuff from Rougue for his ‘home’ box… maybe we should send them the drawing of the new place and see where they want to put their sponsorship banner… then we can mark on the drawing whey they can drop all the free stuff.
March 12th, 2009 at 12:54 pm
@Dan – Have not tried CF Gunx yet? What if its not as good as CFW? Maybe I can entice some CFW folks to come over to my neck of the woods and check it out with me. I’m still a cupcake – don’t forget.
March 12th, 2009 at 1:21 pm
Its not even Friday and your mind is already in the gutter Lis…
I have intentions of checking out more boxes then i actually do – that doesn’t mean im not going to though
as far as I know she’s still my gf and I don’t think she reads the blog
March 12th, 2009 at 1:25 pm
The only thing worse than knowing what the push up challenge is, is not knowing what the push up challenge is…
March 12th, 2009 at 2:04 pm
not knowing does suck =(
lis did you get my email / sketch?
March 12th, 2009 at 3:51 pm
Dan — just replied on e-mail.
The push-up challenge is on the wall in the back room. There are a lot of them. But it’s over in 14 days.
@Shelley: “What if it’s not as good as CFW?” OF COURSE it won’t be. We have ruined you for life. After Brad Pitt has ravished you, could anyone else fulfill you?
Oh wait, I might have gotten a little carried away there.
March 12th, 2009 at 4:36 pm
@Lis, I sent you a reply / updated sketch with whatever info I was able to decipher from your email – let me know if we’re on similar pages
March 12th, 2009 at 5:39 pm
I’m in for Push-up challenge!!!
WOD for 3/11
Rx’d 18 2/3 rounds @ Crossfit NH
