Barry enjoys some refreshing ring push-ups during last night’s delightful mini-metcon.
In other news, our new Lean Out Challenge is shaping up fast! Get your photos taken at CFW by Monday. Throw your $30 in the cash pool. Comp starts on 6 July and ends 17 Aug. We’ll post a new page with all pertinent info very soon. (And we’ll have a new name for it, although we did reject the catchy “Get in F’ing Shape or We’ll Beat You with a Tire Iron” title submitted by our floppy-eared Power Barn friend Eric.)
And look for a ton of great photos to be released on Facebook today! You all photograph beautifully, you rockstars . . .

Rockstars!!! you go Barry
I’m signing up for “Lean-up”
June 30th, 2009 at 10:38 am
LOL
And today is officially the last day of Power Barn existence, I believe. (Somebody correct me if I’m wrong!)
They become nameless creatures until late August. Like zombies. Destined to roam the Earth looking for kill, I suppose.

Who’s in for the 5 pm WOD today? I’m going to try to WOD in a social setting tonight for once.
June 30th, 2009 at 10:41 am
Ooooh, baby, I’m in.
June 30th, 2009 at 10:45 am
Greg , I’m in for 5 but if you fart near me, I will take you down….
June 30th, 2009 at 10:47 am
Don’t forget Sushi AMRAP tomorrow night….Smelly ones from that place in Cheshire are invited
June 30th, 2009 at 10:58 am
We’re not like normal zombies (think Shaun of the Dead). We’re more like the crazy fast zombies from 28 Days Later. And the Power Barn is coming to get you
June 30th, 2009 at 10:59 am
That metcon was not “mini”
June 30th, 2009 at 11:06 am
Just so we have our zombie terminology right, they weren’t zombies in 28 Days Later. They were “infected”. Zombies aren’t fast.
June 30th, 2009 at 11:21 am
I guess if you’re going to get technical… then we’re infeced… infected with rage
June 30th, 2009 at 11:23 am
@Eric – I wasn’t going to go there, but yes. This is correct. So you’re saying that guys are rage-virus infected, right? I just want to know what I’m dealing with here.
June 30th, 2009 at 11:27 am
you guys* (i.e, Powerbarners)
June 30th, 2009 at 11:32 am
Hey CFW peeps!
The CF 101 is filing up fast. If you have family or friends that you want to get in for this now is the time…ASAP. As of today we are at 60 and the cut off is 100. Hurry! I would much rather have your families and locals at this then some crazy freaks from say, NYC, Boston…you get the point.
June 30th, 2009 at 11:37 am
On this lean out even:
Be safe don’t eat like a dumbass! Or not eat for that matter. It will only make you weak if you eat dumb!
Baby steps…make choices you can live with….long haul not just for six weeks.
Please feel free to contact me at 571-276-6748 or jen@crossfitwatertown.com
Start a log NOW! If you’ve been keeping one bring a copy in so I can look it over. With it give me your personal goals.

The above should have said- Event!!!Crap balls!
June 30th, 2009 at 11:44 am
Wait – I was totally going to pizza load until July 6 — how exactly do we win — is it the total over all fat drop? Is it percentage? Is it a gain of muscle?
June 30th, 2009 at 11:44 am
PS Does anyone else think Barry looks Uber Sexy in that pic??
June 30th, 2009 at 12:02 pm
I always think Berry looks Uber sexy!
June 30th, 2009 at 12:03 pm
Berry, Do you hunt? I want to hunt this fall which means I need a gun!
June 30th, 2009 at 12:08 pm
I think Barry only hunts in his backyard in Wtby! The neighbors no longer have outdoor pets . . .
June 30th, 2009 at 12:09 pm
Details of the I’m Sick of this F****** Fat Challenge are being finalized. We’ll have them posted at some point today.
June 30th, 2009 at 12:14 pm
So the powerbarn is nothing more then a thing of the past, an object of our imaginations – kinda like K?
June 30th, 2009 at 12:20 pm
*Seriously contemplates whether or not he should tell Jen that he used to hunt but now just does target and skeet shooting*
June 30th, 2009 at 12:20 pm
Rich and Chis:

June 30th, 2009 at 12:35 pm
Is it just me or does anybody else think Jen with a firearm is a bad idea?
June 30th, 2009 at 12:41 pm
Ditto!
June 30th, 2009 at 12:41 pm
Although it is kind of hot . . .
June 30th, 2009 at 12:42 pm
@JEN, If you don’t mind shooting Bambi you’re welcome to our cabin in Vt. (Nov. Hunting, Will ?) We HAVE guns!!!
Barry hunts, but he uses his bare hands to take down those critters.
June 30th, 2009 at 12:58 pm
Lis – please share the letter of recommendation you are going to write for Jennifer’s gun permit.
Jackie – I’m going to make sure I have beans and rice for lunch.
June 30th, 2009 at 12:58 pm
Jen- I have that omelette at least twice a week. It’s pretty much the best thing in my life
June 30th, 2009 at 1:02 pm
Jen I’m all up for hunting this fall. Here are the rules, you get a five minute had start and I get a dirtbike and an assortment of weapons. Oh, and you don’t get a gun. Anyone’s welcome to play.
June 30th, 2009 at 1:03 pm
Doh, had=head
June 30th, 2009 at 1:31 pm
Barry, your hunting sounds like that Ice-T movie, Surviving the Game, I think it’s called. Great movie. Dr. Cox from Scrubs is in it. He dies.
June 30th, 2009 at 2:21 pm
Greg – R u turning rican?
Barry-LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 30th, 2009 at 2:24 pm
Funny and good lookin’ – I am the luckiest wife in the world

June 30th, 2009 at 3:50 pm
Ah, I think I might just go to Mary and Rich’s place in VT it sounds like I wont be the target there!
Yeah haw Jenny’s getting a gun!
June 30th, 2009 at 4:00 pm
Here, by request, the infamous gun permit letter:
I am writing to support the candidacy of ___________ to carry a concealed weapon. She is a stable citizen of good and true heart, with a steady temperament. She can be counted on to do the right thing and to carry a weapon with the respect and gravity that such a condition demands.
I have known ________ for over a year and, during that time, have had no cause to doubt her character or her capability to be a law-abiding citizen with the best interests of the republic at heart. She is a great American.
Sincerely,
Lisbeth Darsh
June 30th, 2009 at 8:24 pm
remind me to get you to write a general letter of recommendation for me to keep on file.
June 30th, 2009 at 10:25 pm
Hey, guys. I never got around to posting a Facebook event for sushi tomorrow. I assume that everyone that would be going checks here anyway, right?
June 30th, 2009 at 10:26 pm
@Jen – Next time, you could always do what I did when I needed recommendations for my carry permit. I wrote the recommendations myself and then got my friends to sign them. They said some VERY nice things about me!
June 30th, 2009 at 11:04 pm
They thought Spock was dead, too.
