Friends, Family and CrossFit

The Sunday Crew

The CrossFit community is sometimes talked about as a 'cult.' Our local community can be called many things, but one thing is true... we have some generous and kind members among our ranks. Today's workout proved once again that finishing first is fun, but not the only reason to show up. We ran a 2 person team workout, and as the last team came in from the final run, a round of applause erupted from the athletes who had already finished. Coming together in time of joy and times of struggle is what bonds us as friends, family and as CrossFit athletes.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED US MOVED IN TO THE NEW BOX!

Workout: Partner Up
Two athletes to a team. Each team must complete two rounds for time of
A: 25 Push Jerk
B: 25 Burpee

Burpee Challenge: 85 Burpees Today

I finished the Burbee Challenge today! Thanks for the challenge. I completed today by taking Sundays off and diseminating those burpees through the rest of the week. I modified too by doing burpee pull-ups rather than the claps. As a police/fire trainer, I learned the value of this exercise and will call them "survival burpees". This is appliable to teaching the officers how to escape from a basement, or vault a wall. Thanks again, I'm going to go bleed off my blisters now.

oooh... I missed a good one! It has all the stuff I like and the run is only (only, she says, yah, right) 400 meters.

What a good looking bunch of people!

Congratulations Tim on finishing! Did you really do 5050 burpees WITH pullups??

I dropped out a long, long time ago due to knee problems. Even with healthy knees I can't imagine what it would be like to do 80 something burpees every day...

I dropped out of the burpee thingy somewhere around mid 50's. Burpees over and over and over everyday were getting to me physically and psychologically. WAY too much repetition that I'm probably not physically capable of YET. Plus, it was starting to feel like drudgery and that's pretty much when I stop anything that I'm involved in. Oh boo hoo hoo. I thought there was no whining in CrossFit. I'm STILL learning, I guess.

Great job, Tim! That is a heck of an achievement!

Thank you for another great workout, as usual, Hollis! I enjoy the comradery and the support CrossFit provides. There is nothing like feeling exhausted and having someone cheer you on to help you finish. I seriously wouldn't be able to get through it otherwise. So thank you to everyone for making CrossFit such a friendly, supportive community!

i came back today even though i broke my wrist and couldn't work out. I wish i could train and show everyone up but not for a few weeks. My team is 3-0 without me. I will come back for playoffs and help the team win. Thanks again for reading what I write on here and supporting my goals at Steve's Club.
