Does anyone know who Lewis CK is? (thanks Liv for showing me the video) He reminds all of us that "everything in the world right now is amazing, and nobody's happy". And for the most part he's right. Your CrossFit Fire coaches are sitting in chairs...IN THE SKY right now, and do any of you think that's amazing?

In case you missed it, your coaching staff is heading out to LosAngeles to watch (and judge) the CrossFit Games. It's quite possibly the biggest event of the year for our business, and our sport. Fortapalooza was cool and all...but this is like, the OLYMPICS of CrossFit!

Yesterday was a busy and fun day. We welcomed one of Morgan's friends, Michael to his first day of ramp-up. Great to have you! Michael is an early riser, so that means that yours truly paid a little visit to the GYG to snap some pictures and marvel at their awesomeness. Has anyone peeked at them lately? David is looking AMAZING. I mean really, you should SEE his biceps. And Ryan Fain is on the fast track to having lost 60lbs in just 12 weeks! Read that again....60lbs in 12 weeks! Atta boy Ryan! Keep up the good work!

The skill work yesterday was handstand holds. This could mean that you're kicking up against the wall, or even trying free standing handstands on the floor. All of us now have a greater appreciation for gymnasts, I think. It's always funny to be upside down, because you don't even really know where your butt is. Right Ivy?

The metcon was another named workout, and her name is Elizabeth. We had almost a complete re-arrangement of our record board! Zachamole crushed this workout, and took the top spot, Tommy set a super duper new PR, and Ryan Z made the board. Great job fellas! Stacy maintains the fact that she's the ONLY lady at the Fort who can do all those ring dips unassisted, and she set a new PR too! So strong....so cute.....

Know what else is pretty cool? Yesterday was Les' birthday. Happy Birthday Les! This is another one of my new favorite pictures. Dad finished his workout, and he instantly transformed into the barking, encouraging Dad that we all know and love. He wasn't going to let Les finish his birthday workout without a little help!

Happy Birthday Les! Here, have some ring-dips.
