It’s registration day!!!!!
I can’t wait to be out on the floor side by side with our awesome team.
And I can’t wait to watch CFHC’s individual competitor A-Rod bring all her talent and determination to every event! It takes a lot of courage, heart/grit, and hardwork to go out there an take your shot. You are not alone out there, we are all by your side!!!!
Good Luck to April and the CFHC team (Cyborg, Bionic, Baby Huey, Thunder, Queen, and me)
And thank you to Coach 57, we will make you proud!!!
Endurance WOD:
warm up: 100m x 8
Rest 2 min
1.3mile Time Trial
cool down: 400m
Blue shoes was in the house. Without her blue shoes. I promise you will become a stronger runner over the next few weeks!
Good job by all.
Big group of Rooster Runners this morning. And I think it went well. Coach mixed it up again with 100s and Distance. Loved it. I was hoping to catch BP on the home stretch but I couldn’t.
I’m working on the guys on shift to do today’s WOD. Looks good.
I was kind of happy to shave 19 seconds off of my previous 1.3M Time Trial time. But I thought for sure I could shave off more. I blame the 8 100M sprints.
Fun eClass (shocker!) Got 1:53 off of my Time Trial run from last time, so pretty excited, although the last time we did that run was only my second eClass ever, so maybe I should have gotten a better time. I’m with Vegas, I blame the sprints. 10:15 today, sub 10 next time, mark my words Jvic Oh and sooooo awesome to have the infamous BLUE SHOES in the hizzy!
This wod looked hard and it WAS. 65# thrusters get so heavy for me, but got thru them all, took me what felt like forever but finished. 75 thrusters is about 45 too many in my opinion! Glad that wod is over! 22 something I think, maybe 21 something, was too tired to look lol. So cool to have so many peeps doing the double header today too (especially Chips my favorite drill sergeant who gets us thru wods like this), awesome!
Awesome start to the week and can’t wait for the weekend – Regionals is going to be epic. From Team Trifecta, here’s the CFHC world’s weekly trends as we see them. Enjoy.
Trending Down:
- Blues Shoes!!!!!
- Pre-Wod Taylor Swift (What’s with her new song?!?!)
- Doing Warm-Up Burpees (This will never trend up unless Queen is present because she scares us!!!!!!)
Trending Up:
- White Shoes!!!!!
- Call Me Maybe (2nd on the all-time fav list only to Party in the USA!!! Don’t try to steal the limelight Nelly!!!!!)
- CrossFit Hardcore Apparel Sales (Don’t want to look unaffiliated at Regionals!!!!!!)
- Crushing Wods Sub-Rx (It’s scientifically proven to be more legit, right?!?!?!)
- Thursday E-Wods & J-Vic (Unless she big leagues me again, this will never trend down!!!!!!!)
- Going All Out on the 1st Round So You Can Cadillac All Subsequent Rounds (Who needs a full workout if you just PRed that shit?!?!?!)
- Parent-Teacher Conference Day (It’s the new Christmas for 4th grade dads!!!!!!)
- Warm-Up Hoodies (Trayvon? Nah, we do it because it looks badass!!!!!!)
- Promotional Emails in Anticipation of Regionals from Every CF / Paleo-Related Company from Which You’ve Ever Purchased Something (I can only imagine what Nelly’s inbox looks like!!! Just kidding because pink Skins are allegedly doctor prescribed for divas!!!!!!)
Small group of roosters (plus one brave hen-Jam) for sunrise @ TG…14:25Rx, round 1=1:02, round 2=2:04, round 3,4,5…3&change each. Nothing like 100 pushups & 75 thrusters to wake you up. Good luck to all the CFHC atheletes competing this weekend, you guys are awesome & inspiring…iF positive thoughts help, you’ll have lots of them to help you…Go represent & kick some hardcore ass!!
Great day at TS. First RX with a time of 26:28. Great energy from everyone today both at the 8:30 and 9:30 classes. Thank you Chewie for the always excellent coaching. Thought process today. “I’m either going to Rx or pass out trying”. See you all at regionals.
What is up with this sneaky WOD?! I didn’t anticipate the brutality factor here. Those push ups felt like an entirely new exercise after thrusters. HOWEVER. My dear friend, Marlea, is a rockstar. Girlfriend went from doing “girl” push ups to RX today in 9 WEEKS!!! As I removed my thruster plates, there she was CRANKING each rep like a machine! Amazing!
Thanks for great coaching (as always), Chewie! JVIC, thanks for the pointers this morning, too! Super excited to see CFHC compete this weekend. All of you are so awesome!
This one looks terrible and from all the comments, I can tell it is. Not looking forward to this. Yesterday was a surprisingly fun little WOD. 15:57 RX for a little Helnie (Helen / Annie, get it?). I was kind of hoping for a sub 15 but after the first round I knew it would be tough. Settled for under 16
@ Nicknameless…atleast you know I’m a diva and I wasn’t the one having to tell you, so thank you. I’m glad Call Me Maybe is a trend up…and obviously it’s 2nd to Party in the USA, so I’ve already been told. Oh, and apparently, Katy Perry is the one trying to steal the limelight…from me! Pshh, please
Nick Nameless…YOU are a funny funny human being.
Avi amazing stuff today. Way to RX that!
I will agree with Lisa on Marlea’s thrusters. NO question if hers squats where deep enough. Benton keep working on finishing those thrusters. You have it, just pop that head through and extend those arms straight.
Quote of the day from Pete at the Station:
Chewie: “Come on Pete let’s go”
Pete: “This sucks too much”
Wodder of the day at The Station has to most definitely go to Karen. Today I saw something so cool. She warms up and says to Chewie: “Do you think I should go more? I always do 55# and thinking maybe I should push a little more.”
Chewie checks her form and it looks perfection. He adds 10 more lbs., checks it again still perfection.
Karen was skeptical. BUT she did it. ALL 75 reps! RX
They all looked perfect. Congrats girl! So proud of you!
Ditto what Jvic said, lol.
Marlea (MZ) has the deepest squats EVER. Jvic and I looked at each other like, “Are you kidding me?!?” I think we were both jealous.
“Aloha” Pete hated every minute of this wod, yet stuck it out anyway, and still put up a nice time. Way to fight, bro. And EPIC comment. We all loved it!
I wish I could describe Karen’s explosion on the top half of her Thrusters. Ridiculousness does no justice. If she didnt have a good grip on the bar, she woulda thrown it through the cieling. AND, she made HERSELF do hand-realease push-ups to make sure she didn’t cheat herself, I never had to say a word to her about it, not once. Badass.
Avi walked in today and proclaimed, “I want my 1st RX today.” And he earned it, 100%. STRONG Thrusters as well. I wanted to add more weight actually! Nice job man, Congrats on that 1st RX! It’s a sweet feeling, huh…?
Lisa, as always, wodded with smarts today. She just GETS it. She knows when to add/reduce the weight in order to get everything she is supposed to out of every wod. Put simply: SHE CHECKS HER EGO AT THE DOOR!!! That, is Old School Lisa, GOOD for you.
Vincent, YOU my friend, have come a loooooong way. Nice form today, great intensity. Keep it up!
And Jvic, you crushed this wod today! 2 seconds after doing 75 Thrusters and 100 push-ups, she was actually grinning ear to ear. Sicko. lol
Small Lunch Detention Crew today at HQ, yet full of feistiness. I’m pretty sure Alyssa has fallen in love with CrossFit. She wodded with grimaces and smiles the whole way through, and kept pushing herself to do one more rep, no matter HOW tired. Love that.
**SIDENOTE**
Tune in to NBC tonight at 6, and you will get to see a little Exposé on the CFHC team as they head up to Regionals tomorrow and this weekend. THAT oughta be a sight to behold, lol…
And peeps, get your butt UP to Regionals this weekend! We have an awesome Team (Queen, Pnut, Thunder, Bionic, Cyborg, Logan) and a badass individual (April) that will be throwing down with every fiber of their being. This is your chance to scream AT the coaches for once, just as they scream at YOU. Give it back to em! lol. But for real, come up and support them. The thrill of seeing our peeps compete in that kind of atmosphere? Totally electric. It’s Friday through Sunday, up in West Palm at the Fairgrounds. Hope to see TONS of peeps there. http://games.crossfit.com/region/south-east/schedule
Go kill it you guys. You’ve trained your collective butts off for this, you’ve earned it, now go up there and DO WERKS!!! Can’t wait to lose my voice for ya…
Gotta say much improvemnt to LORIE today on her squats and thrusters. And CHANTELLE Woo hoo! You rocked it! . I’m sooooo proud of you!!! Cant wait to see what’s in store this afternoon.
Great double header at the HQ this morning. The 6am run wod was a great work out then to follow it up with this fran like contraption kicked our tails. I was able to stay one step ahead of Tator today at 14:24RX. But he will be back with a vengeance tomorrow morning. I hope he stubbs his toe or something.
A huge thank you to Jvic who talked me into this cross fit lifestyle over a year ago. She then got me onto the 24 day challenge which I should have done a year ago since I couldn’t seem to loose weight on my own. And yes she told me so. I ignored her for like a 8 months but she was right the challenge works. Tomorrow is officially my last day but we did the measurements this morning. Lost 7.5lbs and 4.5 inches of nasty fat. I recommend this challenge to anyone trying to loose some weight and/or just break some bad eating habits.
Today was such a great day and to top it off i got the best “shout-outs” from J-Vic and Chewie…I’ve read them both about 5 times!! I surprised myself today…I must admit it was painful but so worth it! Thank you so much to Chewie and J-Vic for the amazing coaching and push…J-Vic was even in the middle of a private training session when I heard her client ask “are you talking to me?” It must have been confusing for her client while she was yelling “you got it, one more” during her clients warm-up..lol! Thanks for a great day…Karen
Thanks LIL MISS for the endurance WOD this afternoon! And it was awesome to be coached by an official Crossfit regionals coach! Getting pumped for the weekend!
12:33rx thanks to my coach & cheerleader Tambo!!! I felt as though it had been around 17-18 min & couldn’t believe it when I called time. I’m one of those wodders that doesn’t look at the clock. Great job to everyone for Pushing through this deceiving WOD. Michelle… Awesome job sticking w/the weight. You are getting so strong. Guy practicing the dubs (cannot think of ur name.. So sorry)… You almost have them! Great job practicing for that long. I would have given up after 5 minutes.
Can’t wait for this weekend to cheer on Hardcore!!
14:23, and thank God, I couldn’t let you beat me 3 times in a row IPOD:)
And for the record, I use to hate thrusters, I still do, but I use to too.
Thanks Hardcore!!
I loved my first ewod today, and I’m looking forward to getting a lot faster this summer. Jvic, I’ll see you every Tuesday and Thursday! Can’t wait to go watch the team compete this weekend!
Gr8 to c u ,Rae-Rae & Vegas today:) Thk. U j-Vic forgr8-wod. ! Thk. U soooo much everyone @ cfhc…because of u wonderful trainers & inspiring crossfitters, i had the confidence to register for the NYCity Marathon 2012…yesterday, I found out ‘I’M IN!’
@CSI….I soooo hear ya on the 65# Thrusters~
@Avi….CONGRATS on your first RX!! What a WOD to do it on! and Karen, you too on that RX!!
So for me, 21:42 and ALL 75 thrusters were 65#. No turning back now.
ABomb….THANK YOU for pushing me the WHOLE way!
LilTwist…AMAZING thrusters, just amazing.
1st
2nd!
3rd. And I’m guessing there has to be more to this….
TK, will I see you at 6???
MORE TK? SHHH! 100 pushups is plenty. NOT to mention all those thrusters!

Thrusters suck!
Looking like a flat shoe kinda day.
