Due to the level of interest in representing CrossFit Fire at the Affiliate Cup Challenge, we will be hosting tryouts this weekend. The ladies will go head to head on Saturday morning while the men will duke it out on Monday morning. All challengers will participate in 3 WODs on the given day. In between WODs, everyone will be free to do what they want. The Fort will be open though and we will have the grill out. Bring food and drinks of your choice and come cheer your friends on! This is a truly exciting moment for all of us.

    You're worried about workout #1? That's the easy one! No pull ups or press.

    #3 looks like the killer to me...ouch!!!

    For those of us who aren't in the tryouts, is there going to be a workout on Monday, or are we taking that as a rest day?

    I am only going to say this once:

    Garth said:
    "You're worried about workout #1? That's the easy one! No pull ups or press.

    Key phrase:
    "That's the EASY one."

    Key word:
    "EASY"

    He said "EASY" - oh SNAP!

    I'll thank you in advance Superman for opening up your big mouth that will lead to us all being tortured. So, thank you! *grumbling* By the way, stop with your smiley faces - gay. *still grumbling*

    I only meant easy relative to the other workouts. It's all relative! And I like my smiley faces you grumpy old man :)

    So what you mean is that WOD 1:

    - Is the easiest of the 3 WOD's
    - Is an easy workout

    Wow! Bold comments.

    And you're older than me - so there, you crusty old man.

    :) = G.A.Y.
