Once again, ramp-up has come through for me and provided me with a terrific quote for the blog. After the workout last night Wesley said:

"It's a hard kind of fun"

To be honest, I don't think I've ever heard a more accurate description of CrossFit!

The strength work yesterday was power snatch 1-1-1-1-1. Ryan Z and Brittany both set new PR's, and Bethy set a DOUBLE PR! Congratulations you three!

After our shoulders were good and tired, we did the following little metcon:

21-15-9
overhead squats (50/35kg)
pull-ups
clapping push-ups

For those of you who have been around for a while, you know how I feel about clapping push-ups. I just don't feel comfortable with 'em. There's a little mechanism inside my brain that will not allow me to clap my hands in front of me when they're the only thing that is protecting my face from smashing into the ground. Apparently you guys don't share that same fear, as nobody else seemed to have a problem with them.

I wish I had a picture of The Mayor doing his clapping push-ups last night. They were AWESOME. He definitely wins an award for having the best clapping push-ups. He pushes himself SO FAR away from the ground, and he claps in front of his face!

The Better Body Challenge II sign up has been going GREAT! We have almost half the participants photographed already. Make sure you get photographed some time before Friday so that you remain eligible for the challenge. We have been erasing names off the board as we take pictures...I promise people aren't dropping out.

Anyone interested in getting a pair of black short shorts that have our logo on the front, and say "FIRE" across the butt? I will be placing an order some time Wednesday of this week for these, and thought I'd throw the offer out there to all our ladies, not just the sectionals participants. The cost is $25 each. If you'd like a pair, just post to comments with your size and I'll add them to the order. (S,M,L,XL)
