Time for bear crawls.
I can’t make you a better athlete. I can’t make you skinny. Or fat. I can’t make you a better person. I can’t make you a better friend, a better lover, a better mother or a better father.
I can’t make you run or row or front squat or L-sit or do handstand push-ups.
I can’t make you do anything.
You are the person with the power. The person with the choices. The person who makes the decisions. Only you can make you do anything.
All I can do is provide expert instruction, an outstanding facility, a phenomenal community, and an accepting atmosphere where it’s safe to f*** up and try again.
And results. Lots of results if you’re willing to work for them.
You have to decide if you’re ready to accept that challenge. You have to decide if you have a warrior’s soul, if you’re a CrossFitter.
I am a CrossFit coach. I am a CrossFit affiliate.
What are you?

What an appropriate post for today. Our Coaches & Athletes are the best CF has to offer. I love to walk through that door because I know inside is a better stronger me, great Coaches and a Community that has always been there for me.
That said we must learn to all keep each other in check. Sometimes we gotta yell at Rich or he will break another tooth! Sometimes I need to get my boobs to the ground on those pushups for them to count! You get what I mean. So I’ll say this, when people (in particular those who are supposed to make the corrections) Straight up lie, you must call them out:
Dear Toon, Please post to comments any subs, or deleted rounds in relation to your Nancy time. If 13 mins is your time for an Rx Nancy, 1-you are our rep for the 2011 CF Games & 2- I am willing to do this sided by side with you @ 95#, just so I can get smoked by the best. <3 K

Well, okay, I guess that salvo will go down in history as the “Comment Killer of 2010.”
Please, everyone, talk amongst yourselves. Work on your double-unders. Maybe a little foam rolling.
And, if we’re lucky, N8 will provide us with a merry interlude or some creatively imagined scenario.
Love you all!

Too bad you’re not 20 years older, Toon. You would have smoked those geezers at the games.

Those Nancy times from the Masters are unreal. Those guys would laugh at my Nancy time. Good thing I have another 20 years to catch up with them!

K – That was Rx’d with a vest on…
Ha!.. K – your awesome! I’m glad someone is paying attention. My time was somewhere around 18:30 Rx’d. My hope was that Matt/Barry/Tony/Big D/YOU…etc would see that and go like Hell to try to beat it. Hey. At least I did the WOD yesterday. I resisted putting a time on the whiteboard this morning for me and I was just coaching.
Note to self: Check Games site before making up motivational WOD time on whiteboard next time.

I’m sure it was an honest mistake, Tooner. A 3 can look kind of like an 8 if you’re writing quickly…
August 25th, 2010 at 1:50 pm
I did it in 7 minutes.
Yeah, beat that.
August 25th, 2010 at 1:55 pm
Tooner – Your real time would have been motivation enough – it was solid – don’t sell yourself short by putting bogus times up that make everyone go “What?? Impossible…”
August 25th, 2010 at 2:03 pm
I got you all beat! I actually finished this WOD in 1923. Had to build a time machine to get back to the present day. BTW: flux capacitors are hard to come by in 1923.
August 25th, 2010 at 2:28 pm
Nate, you win the wittiest comment of the day (so far). Your plaque is in the mail!
August 25th, 2010 at 3:01 pm
Greg,
I find it interesting that your time was BS because I actually went to the trouble of calling Adam while he is away in Oklahoma on business JUST to tell him that you are faster than a speeding bullet.
Haha, I feel like a dumb ass. Jokes on me.
August 25th, 2010 at 3:06 pm
Arell — you called Adam about a WOD time? You have SO drunk the Kool-Aid! Bwhahahaa.
August 25th, 2010 at 3:07 pm
Arell and CFW… Remember my eyes are aerodynamic naturally. A gift from God some might say. This doesn’t make me faster than a speeding bullet but close.
Plus… Adam did get to witness what I did to the Prowler on Sunday. So, he probably wasn’t surprised.
August 25th, 2010 at 4:08 pm
OK, where is Rock Star’s response to Tooner’s last post? We’re waiting.
August 25th, 2010 at 4:56 pm
N8, I am just interested on how u generated 1.21 gigawatts
August 25th, 2010 at 5:39 pm
This is the best Blog I have seen in months.
August 25th, 2010 at 6:06 pm
Tooner is soo fast cuz he metabolizes the carbs from rice differently than we do….Live On China Man!
August 26th, 2010 at 10:22 am
haha, that’s the comment I was waiting for, Rockstar!!!
August 26th, 2010 at 12:41 pm
I was just expecting a “China Man”. As always, Rockstar has exceeded my expectations.
August 26th, 2010 at 1:16 pm
OMG, I love pork fried rice. We actually called two different Chinese restaurants for delivery at the same time to see if the drivers would Kunf Fu fight on our front lawn.

@ Beery
Did they both come in ten minutes?
