Sorry I had to miss it...was called in to work (why do they think just because they pay me well they have to ask me to actually work??!) Anyway, congrats to Stacy, Kelli and Pete...I'm sure you guys killed it and still had a smile on your faces for the pics! You guys are great!

CFF is doing it the right way. I had a great time and as always I feel very fortunate to have a group of friends and teammates that are as passionate about Cross Fit as I am. Thanks again to Bill, Jenny and Zach for all the coaching and support. Congrats to everyone that competed and thanks you to everyone that came to cheer and support. All I have to say is we have some pretty damn strong athletes. Everyone should be very proud of their performances!!! Good job Kelli and Stacy way to represent with 1st place finishes.

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 03:12:21 +0000 http://crossfitfire.com/?p=3132#comment-2202 A whole day with my Fort friends: Well what can I say, it was epic, it was awesome, and when it was all over I was exhausted. A few thoughts if I may, first is that it was clear to me that CFF has better overall athletes than I had thought, being that we had a good presence in every weight class and I'd be willing to bet after studying the overall numbers that our people finished among the tops of most of the weight classes, this not including of course those who won their classes. Second is that the CFF competitors form was so far and away better on average that it wasn't even close. Bill said they were going to allow a 'little' press out but that you couldn't touch your elbows to your knees and the like. In reality there was a ton of slop being allowed which would have never flown on our record board, Jennie and I were watching and at one point she said 'Bill would never let that guy touch that weight, he'd be doing squat therapy for sure.' I think I counted a few eye rolls from Bill as he was 'judging.' Thirdly, I believe we had the only person in 'Pete' that snatched body weight, and the only people push pressing triple digits and had the largest jumps in weight between attempts, I think bender started the clean & jerk at 60 and ended at 110. Finally I think what I'm saying as this comment has gotten way too long is that we have a great cast of characters and represented our coaches and our affiliate in solid fashion. Thanks to the GYG guys for pushing me to commit to this, it was great. A whole day with my Fort friends:
