Now, guys....you should know better than to look at the white board and say "that's it?" We received a formal apology email from Super Dave for his "that's it" comment yesterday. The workout was Bill's way of honoring 9/9/09:
9 rounds for time
9 body rows
9 push-ups
Most everyone finished this workout in under 10:00. I am happy to report that our range of motion police were able to stay quiet about the push-ups. Tom Mohr actually KISSED the floor with each push-up to ensure he wouldn't be called out. Again. I could hear him making a little "hup" noise with each rep, and I thought to myself, "is he really going that fast?" He had our fastest time of the day!
Score:
Old guys: 2
Young Whipper Snappers: 1
Hot chicks in tall socks: 1
In other news, our latest ramp-up class is winding down. Have you seen all the new faces? One of the new faces is Garth & Audra's oldest daughter, McKenzie. Today I owe McKenzie an apology for almost KILLING HER trying to get her upside down in the handstand push-up bands. Good Lord...I'm so sorry girl!
The 60 days to a better body challenge is in full swing, and I think the competition is going to be FIERCE. With 11 paid participants, the kitty is at $440! There are several more people who have committed to paying, so the kitty will only continue to grow. Remember the golden rule of thumb: You can't out-exercise what you eat. If you want to really be serious about this challenge, you have to evaluate what you're eating. And it's not only about the quantity of food either...it's about the quality. We're looking at hormonal responses to food more than we're looking at how much you're eating. I can't stress to you enough that you should be blogging about what you're eating. If you need help, you can email any of the CrossFit Fire coaches, or even Super Dave. Super Dave has been a model of nutrition discipline for many months now, and he has seen some spectacular results. Dave volunteered to be a mentor for this challenge, so thanks Dave! We're here as a resource, so if you have specific questions, or just want a "what do you think", shoot us an email.

I've seen the puddles of sweat that Garth has left on that floor...hope it tasted sweet, Tommy!
My email address is davieag@cdw.com. If anyone wants to chat about nutrition or wants some tasty recipes, I'm always up for the discussion!

Actually Dave, I was working next to Boyd. Boyd was sweating quite nicely yesterday so I was actually kissing Boyd's puddle of sweat.
I'm fine with that - he's a sexy hunk-o-man. Especially in that Grey wife-beater tank he was rockin' yesterday!
HEY-O!

Here is what Tommy Mo' is referring to: I'm not a piece of meat Tom!. I know ladies, he is quite the catch. Let's just try to be civil about it all though.
