You know it’s coming. There’s no hiding today.
“Karen” — 150 Wall-ball for time.
Be there for the test or put your teeth in a glass and tie on your apron, Grandma.*
Tracey (the Secret Weapon) and Greg (who thinks he’s the Secret Weapon) already clocked a 9:00 and 9:something as Rx’d. Who will be top dog in Wall-ball land by the end of the day?
Also, if you’ve never read the CrossFit Journal article (by Greg Glassman) on Wall-ball, you need to do so. (And, if you don’t already subscribe to the CFJ, do yourself a favor and do so — for only $25 per year, it’s a steal.)
*No offense to hard-working grandmas intended. Please don’t hurt us, Mary.

That milestone chart in the article is interesting. I will have to try that next time…. NON Rx’d because if today’s effort was any indication, I am not ready for a 6:00 Rx’d Karen.
Lis didn’t call me out but I will. Pictures don’t lie and I FV’d (Thanks Pamela) several times this morning. That ball in the picture is not on it’s way up or way down. It’s at its peak. Well short of the 10ft mark. Boooo! I’m going to Victoria’s Secrete later today to pick up some panties… Anybody else need a pair?

Greg, I’m glad you self-ID’d.
But here’s the more interesting question, if I spank your a** and I’m wearing Vickie’s, then you going to buy Vickie’s should only make you stronger, right?

If we have 10-12 people show up tonight, are we going to have to do this one in heats? That might help so that we have enough wallballs to use.
March 23rd, 2009 at 11:58 am
LOL Greg…I think the panties will def. help you out…pretty lacey pink ones! At least you’d be a good looking FV!!

Some casino bus info is posted on the FB beyotches site – check it out.

@Chris… you get to sub with dumbbell like we do when we don’t have enough KBs. Good Luck and Have Fun
March 23rd, 2009 at 12:31 pm
lol, don’t forget the booty shorts either Greg – they’ll easily shave off 2 minutes
and subing the dumbells is way to dangerous…thats why we have bumper plates and training bars duh
March 23rd, 2009 at 12:43 pm
@Greg- This is why we have you around, buddy. Thank you.
March 23rd, 2009 at 1:06 pm
I’m a “think out of the box” type of guy. Glad I could help.
March 23rd, 2009 at 3:08 pm
Donna and Matt for Saturday fun? I’m sorry I won’t be able to make it! Karen sounds fun! I like wall balls.
March 23rd, 2009 at 3:17 pm
@ Chris, did you predict this one?
March 23rd, 2009 at 3:21 pm
Heats for the fellas using 20lbs.
We have a 14lb and two 15lb for the women going Rx’d.
Also, 10s and 12s — and of course 16 and 18.

After 5 days of beer & push ups I wish I was there for “Karen”- I’d love to try it again!
March 23rd, 2009 at 5:48 pm
I’m with Jill on this one, except for the pushups. I’ve never tackled Karen and feel that she’s long over due – gotta get my hands on some cheap medicine balls
March 23rd, 2009 at 6:31 pm
@ Dan-thought you were gonna say that for the last 5 days you’ve only been doing push ups & drinking!! Then maybe I’d feel better about what I’ve been doing! Ha ha! How far are you from Danbury?
March 23rd, 2009 at 7:26 pm
@David- Nope, not this one. In fact, I distinctly remember telling Lis yesterday that I had no inkling as to what today’s workout would be. However, I’m thinking we might have some front squats in the next week or so.

Hey kids! Head on over to the FB page to finalize your choices for our new T-shirts…
March 23rd, 2009 at 11:47 pm
Hmm, well, “finalize” might be too strong of a word. Discuss is more like it. Plus let me dig up some photos of other shirts and ss by other affs for some ideas.
March 24th, 2009 at 9:20 am
So many good choices its almost hard to choose, I’ll vote on the FB group later
@Jill, I’m probably 30-40 min outside of Danbury, and I’ve thought about doing pushups – and thats about as far as it gets
Has Becky the Shanker taken care of the pesky squatters yet?
Lis did you ever look at the sketch? Is it ok? Am I in the ball park?
