Every time I think to myself, "Wow, Bill couldn't possibly have thought of a harder workout", he proves me wrong. It actually reminds me of being on my honeymoon. We were horseback riding, and it started to rain. Hard. I kept commenting that no matter what, it could NEVER rain harder than it was raining at that moment. No sooner would those words leave my lips, than the rain would prove me wrong.

That's what happened Saturday morning at the Fort. Only it wasn't raining cooling rain drops from heaven while horseback riding in the jungle, it was raining a pain and torture that dragged on for almost an hour.

Our WINNING team finished in just over 31 minutes! Our last team worked for 50 minutes to complete the following workout:

In teams of 2, complete 6 rounds of:
Partner A: 19 sit-ups
Partner B: 100m sprint
Partner A: 84 double unders
Partner B: 100m sprint
Partner A: 8 hang cleans
Partner B: 100m sprint
Partner A: 21 box jumps
Partner B: 100m sprint

Each round, partner A and partner B will switch roles. A good way to think of it is that for one round, you're going to do all the running while your partner does the cool shit. The next round you switch. Now you do all the cool shit and your partner runs.

Make sense?

This workout was created by Bill to honor Steph Larkins' 26th birthday. See how all the numbers correspond to a date in her birthday? We were were all wishing you had turned 24 Steph.

Thank you so much to one our newest members, Ryan the Lion for bringing in the beautiful flowers. We are hoping that by adding some nature to the front of the building, that it'll seem a little less intimidating. Oddly enough, I don't think the flowers helped this past Saturday. Turns out nobody could see through the sea of people collapsed on the ground, grabbing their shorts, completely drenched in sweat. (I'm really selling you newbies on this whole CrossFit thing, aren't I?)

Something VERY sad is happening RIGHT NOW. Zachamole is packing his car and heading back down to college! It was an amazing summer at the Fort, and we were glad to have you with us. Don't be a stranger! (I can feel the sad montage video brewing)
