Ali said...: Saw "Eva" on the main site last night and am planning on trying it tonight. Anyone want to join me (Caroline, Steven, Chev, Castillo)?? Looks brutal but fun...; July 1, 2009 at 7:59 AM
Jason Buzzard said...: I think the time was 12:23...don't really remember. 45# DB, shoudl have listened to Josh though and used the 50#. He has a good idea where my strength is and where I can be pushed, lesson learned. Great job this morning everyone!; July 1, 2009 at 8:13 AM
Unknown said...: Dumb Bell Power Snatch is a great way to start the day. Lots of interesting movement, you sort of get every part of your body. I finished in 16:30, I think, with 35LB DB. Lost most of my time on the silly double unders. My job this morning was to make the routine, difficult...not sure when jumping rope became such a skill. Nice to have Travis back in the game. See you next week. I am road tripping to Austin to support GSX Tae Kwon Do at Nationals. My son Bobby competes tomorrow. I hope to celebrate a victory with 100 burpees and a couple of pints of Guiness on 6th Street. -Bob; July 1, 2009 at 9:15 AM
Mo said...: 13:08 25lb

Did you know that if you go to Whataburger at appx 2:30 am after a drinky or two and order a "Whatasnatch!!" they don't find it all that funny. I did.

Disclaimer: I was 17 y/o at the time but I still think it's funny.; July 1, 2009 at 9:33 AM
jared said...: Words of wisdom from Raif:

Me: Addressing the bar...
Raif: Wait you aren't about to deadlift 405 without a belt are you?
me: planning on it, why?
Raif: what are ya stupid? would you have sex with a hooker without a condom?
Me: well uhhh I've never really had to worry about Hookers Raif...
Raif: the answer is no you wouldn't, so why would you not use protection on a deadlift??!

Thanks for all the worldly advice big guy, it's always appreciated!; July 1, 2009 at 10:06 AM
ava said...: Ali,
You are sick! you and your longa$$ workouts! I'm sure you will do great, though. The girls in my yahoo group times are anywhere from 45-55 minutes. Good luck. I'll be doing something at home in the 15-20 min range.; July 1, 2009 at 1:32 PM
Jason Buzzard said...: Ali, you may want to have your son on standby with the spray bottle for that one...and don't plan on doing anything the rest of the evening or tomorrow. Have "fun" though....; July 1, 2009 at 2:34 PM
castillo74 said...: 3 rounds of "EVA " with the mad/crazy women (Ali)
30:55 w/ 1.5 pood and I had enough
Fantastic job Ali!!! She finished in @ 45:44 ( I think ); July 1, 2009 at 7:56 PM
raif said...: I know some in the crossfit community are generally against the use of belts and I'm sorry if I have offended any of you. I'm also sorry for any hookers out there I may have offended. Crossfitting hookers of course receive double apologies.

Protect your discs.

ava said...: awesome job, Ali! I'm impressed! I'm sure it would have take me over an hour, at least half of that due to whining about having to run! :); July 2, 2009 at 7:39 AM
Mo said...: As a hooker that likes to spank Crossfitters with a belt I'm not offended at all.

Way to go Eva victims! Deavers tortured us with that one on Sat long ago at da track.

Luck lil Bob!!! Sorry to mention the kid in the same post as a hooker but...well I have no good excuse. It's as good a time as any to warn him about hookers and blow anyhow.; July 2, 2009 at 9:09 AM
Ali said...: Thanks Ava, it sucked for sure! Like I said I REALLY don't think I could have done all the pu's even if I didn't rip. It was really hard. That last run I had to concentrate on not crying!; July 2, 2009 at 11:19 AM
Unknown said...: Mo, Just had a What a Burger...we will work in the hookers later. Bobby got a silver in Forms, will be sparring this afternoon. Always entertained by these posts. -Bob; July 2, 2009 at 12:22 PM
Mo said...: Attabobby!!

Much love Bob! Have a great weekend. If any boys try to show me their sparkler I'll think of you.; July 2, 2009 at 1:24 PM
