Jen & Gary,
Good work Jen! I’ve noticed you’ve raised the level of intensity the past couple of weeks. Keep it up sista’!

Ahhh yes,,,,the friendly old “CF significant other competition”. Everything is peaceful in the house until “WOD talk” starts, right?

After only 6 months, Jill is constantly raising the proverbial ‘CF bar’ in the Freischlag home. The ironic part is that I had a very hard time convincing her START CrossFitting. She used to say ‘I’ll never be good at that stuff’. Go figure!

I love the 6am group! I was feeling pretty good about the workout. Yeah, I did it RX’d…finally! Well, until Gary came home and told me, “I totally smoked you on the workout!” What is this? Gary actually beat me? Weird. Good for him, I’ll let him have this one.

Susannah,

Thanks for that local info…giving me yet another reason to stay away from PB.

And congrats to you on the 11 rounds. Very impressive to see live.

“Thrusters” is actually a bar in Pacific Beach, Courtland.
Once again is was a painful pleasure….20 mins is brutal…I remember when CJ said “2 mins down” and it felt like it had been 8.
11 Rounds rxed. We’ll see if I can move later today.

Did the workout today at lunch. Thrusters really suck … the life out of me. I completed 4 rounds. Started with 65# and then added 5# after the first 3 rds.

Did I mention that thrusters suck, and that the name “Thrusters” sounds like a bad happy hour joint that has too loud music, a Monster Mush Nacho Plate worth 7500 calories and margaritas made with lime Kool Ade from a Squishy machine.

…and yet I will be back tomorrow.

Cheers.

I can’t wait for a quick dunk session!

Great WOD this morning. Big props to Joe for crushing it in his fancy new vfive finger shoes…

Lovely WOD this morning! My cold did not make breathing easy on this one, but I was happy with how I did. Time to bump it up to the RX’d weights, I think. Maybe. Or maybe not.

The body dunking thing is interesting. I did it about a year and half ago, just for the hell of it. I knew that I had some blub on me, but hearing the actual percentage was harsh. I think I may have to try it again…hopefully the fat percentage will have gone down at least a little!

With what I know now about body composition, the numbers mean much more to me. When I was doing Weight Watchers, I just focused on the numbers on the scale—I lost 30 pounds, BUT it was a lot of muscle, too. Now I know that my total body weight is not the main goal—it’s the percentage of lean body mass that I’m interested in.
