that was hard, my hands are raw and my body broken glad I didn’t see the website before going to CF this morning
Rosa killed it once again great job
used 75lbs and I am sooooooooooooooooooo glad that is done and I finished it
big sense of accomplishment after I got home

love the fact that after every crossfit workout I get the sense of holy shit did I just do that
cause give me feedback if I am the only one that looks at some WOD and think o my god I am going to die . I think who else could do this, not many and that what makes me stand out because I crossfit and they don’t. The mental side of crossfit and being able to do these super human workouts like today is a big plus over other programs. And Rosa thanks for being such a inspiration to me cause when I had nothing left I could hear you say Keep Going that is one of the many reasons I love GCF because the people you workout with push you to keep going no matter what.
I kept telling myself just finish this morning, just finish and when I did I unloaded my bar and said very brief good bye and walked slowly out the door, went home to my satisfaction I did finish and thinking, I just did Fran twice and ran half a mile, holy shit I did just do that and although it kicked my ass as left me a shell of a human it doesn’t matter cause I crossfit and I can do it and others can’t

is 430p unofficially open gym ?
I would like to work on my pull ups some time this week and get some video
My goals for Nov.
sub 630 Fran
25+ pullups (work on the butterfly kip )
1 muscle up

is there a time limit on this beast?

omgoodness

Doug are you coming at 530!!! Let’s do this!

Joey-Unfortunately no open gym hours are in place as of yet!

Good luck every one!! This why we do crossfit. Kill it Bevin
This is a beast
post times
my time was so bad I didn’t even ask

I saw this this morning about 7am and thought…OMG I am scared. (think I sound like Bevin now)
It is really empowering, Joey and you are absolutely correct in saying that there is not too many people who would put themselves or not talk themselves out of doing “a beast” of a WOD that this is going to be. But as the GVCF team that we are and all the motivating that we all do for each other, we will conquer….
Time limit, Colleen is when we pass out!!!! haha

Dougie and with how you knocked out that wod on Fri am, this is doable,

Hey Joey – You totally killed it this morning. You kept going and going! And as usual, at first glance of the WOD, it doesn’t really dawn on me….Until I realized that doing 2 sets of 20 squats the other day was super tough and that’s when I thought like many times I do a WOD – OMG, I’ll be lucky to finish. But just like you said, Joey – I left with such a sense of satisfaction. I know I’m having to scale my workouts, but I’m still working hard regardless of injury. Here are my goals – as posted on the board.

1. By the end of November – Be able to do a Fran – laying off using my shoulder for now.
2. Secondary Goal – Do 15 consecutive DUs – I’m up to 8, so I have a ways, but it’s not out of reach.
3. By January 1, 2010 – Lose 10 lbs. Again – totally within reach!

Had a great workout with everyone tonight
pleased with myself used 65# on thrusters

This was absolutely brutal! But I loved it!
Couldn’t have done it without everyone’s support…loved the energy 530!

24:45 rxd, Deb youre right that last run actually cooled me down!

Last night was BRUTAL!!! But I did love it – I love it more now that I’m done. Ha Ha.

Big thanks to EVERYONE for cheering me on – and to my hubbs for running the last 400m w/ me…that was intensely nice.
