Hey all! Amazing work by the 6am crew. Thank you so much for welcoming me into the CFI Team today. It was a privilege to meet everyone! I look forward to getting to know you all and finally having the chance to use bumperplates, 20# med balls, and not having meat-heads in Globo Gyms tell me I’m “swinging” while I’m getting rocked by Cindy or Angie. Hope to see everyone tomorrow!

Wink / Mark,
I really wanted to hit up Fran with everyone at the 0600 this morning, especially knowing that everyone just did Helen yesterday. However, I know that Fran requires max out-put and effort; I wasn’t even at 80%.

In fact, I had to RTB (return to base) while enroute to CFI. I got to the 805 and my body and mind just didn’t feel right at all. I will surely go to sick call tomorrow.

I’ll hit up Fran with Wink when he gets back. In fact, we could get some high rez video of Wayne and me in a “CFI Fran Duel” and submit it to the main site. I’m sure that the whole CF Nation would be interested in watching a Butt Wink Wayne and a Bee Charmer going head-to-head, each trying to set 11:00 PRs for Fran. :0

It would be way more entertaining than watching the endless clips of the fire breathing studs crushing Fran in 2-3 mins.

Then again…maybe not.

BC Snifflin’ Out….

Holy smokin’ times today! CFI athletes are ALL HEART!!!

Nice work to everyone, but especially to Jill for the stellar improvement. Jill said the 0930 ladies were super inspiring. Great scores by Josh, Sean, George and Justin. I long for the day when I can get a sub 10:00 minute Fran!

BC, I will hit Fran with you when I get back and you are 100%.

Great job this morning M!

BTW- Poor BC is still sick and *I* think he needs to go to medical and get some antibiotics (so he doesn’t end up sick for 2 months like Courtney!)

I agree with “M”, everyone was killin it today at the 930 class. It my first time with Fran in almost 3 months. I was 9 seconds off my previous PR. I did all the thrusters unbroken, but the pull-ups kicked my a**. Great job george and justin getting under 3 minutes, thats awesome. My time for Fran was 3:47.

Yeah, the 9:30 class rocked it! All of us as Rx’d!
Coryna, I was right this morning: you ARE a monster! And what an awesome first WOD for John, he didn’t even know he killed it! So I ran back in after my 2nd 400m lap and saw the Joshes resting in the middle of a Fran! No, silly me, they were already done– lightning fast. Good work guys.
So I had to share my story for today. I finished Helen in 12:19 which looks like nothing to write home about. However, this is my first benchmark WOD that I’ve had the pleasure of comparing against a previous PR. And get this:
Aug 6, 2008 13:13 12#dumbbell Jumping Pull Ups
Feb 10, 2009 12:19 35#KB Kipping Pull Ups
I would’ve been satisfied with just the 3x heavier KB and big girl pull ups, but to have nearly 1 min shaved off just makes my day. Hopefully I’ll be seeing more, especially since I’m faithfully logging my times now.

It was an absolute pleasure to meet everyone from the 6am crew, thanks for making me feel welcome. Awesome work all around this morning! What a treat it is to finally get away from the Globo gyms, use bumper plates, and not have a meat head tell me i shouldn’t “swing” during my pullups… Hope to see everyone tomorrow!

YAY! I’ve been trying to break a 10 minute “Helen” for a while now and I came so close to even a sub-9 minute! Breaking the pull-ups on the last round got me!

Thanks M for some great coaching today! Tina, KT and Jill- Big props ladies! John, first time “Helen” as rx’d AND sub 10 minutes- SOLID BRO! He is going to be rocking a sub-8 minute in no time!

Great day! Amazing how a good WOD and great people (friends) brightens your day!

Big ups to my husband and other Josh for doing “Fran”! Sub-five minutes- Whoot whoot!

Be back to the evening class tomorrow lovers!
