I wanted to thank everyone who came out for my party last night. It was so much fun and you all were witness to me not eating Paleo for a while there too!! What an honor. Special thanks to the organizers Michelle and Hari too! And all those who wanted to come and couldnt for whatever reason, I really appreciate all your warm wishes. Let the fun begin!!

Oh and thanks to Jack Bauer, aka Greg, for volunteering to do 46 burpees with me after my meet in honor of my birthday!!

Juan please send pictures so someone can post the good times on this blog!!

sarena ate chocolate cake!!!

And cheese cake and flan and some other delicious cake and whip cream. need a nice Catholic priest to hear my confession, Jack, anyone up for the task??!!

Glad I could make it Sarena and Michelle and Hari-celebrating a year of life is just as important as celebrating the accomplishments we make in life.

And thanks for volunteering me to do the burpees-they are the gifts that keep on giving, I suppose :-(

And as for confession Sarena, the beauty of being Catholic is that once you say you're sorry, it's a clean slate-tabula rasa! So I said sorry on your behalf and Jesus said it was cool.

hey, I could hear your confession.I was a monk in my younger years.

A cut and paste from the other days main page:

Bodybuilding convert here as well! Never in a trillion years would I go back to training like that again.
I recieved my pro card in 2001, and a seat to compete at the national level. I was not a natural bodybuilder, and had heart attack #2 just prior to the Miami copetition, and hung it up shortly there after. (I figured since I was 25 and had just suffered my second heart attack, it would be a good idea to change my thinking and then and only then could I change my health.This took years!)
My heart is stronger than ever, less a bit of scar tissue. I haven't used my inhaler or my advair in 6 months, having COPD and asthma as well.....or rather, having had? My blood preasure, after years of being on atenalol, HCTZ, and Labatalol (mega doses mind you) that were unsuccessful at bringing my numbers down any lower than 180/80...my blood preasure this morning was 112/62 at 48 bpm, and I don't take any BP meds at all anymore!

ALL AS A RESULT OF CROSSFIT TRAINING! Changing the mind, heart, spirit, and soul.....cleansing and loving the mind, heart, spirit and soul...........if these things are done, then the body naturally takes care of itself, and it has! This is sometihng I could not have recieved from bodybuilding training...from the non-functional, single joint, boring a$$ training!

I know it seems over the top when I say that I owe my life to Crossfit....but I truely do.

So, you ask, would I go backwards when I have come light years forward...I think the answer is plainly obvious!

Thank you Coach, that you community, thank you god for blessing me with all of you!

Thanks Dan for posting that. JRock nonetheless who I have met and even took a pic with.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/c1sarena/2132249374/in/set-72157603528614898/ I would never have guessed or none. He is one of the sweetest person there is!

sarena-any chance u read his posts from today?

Regarding the first article ("I don't compete in just a sports bra") and also the picture on Saturday's main site:

Though it only shows up sporadically, I think there is an ongoing debate about whether or not some of the photographs and interviews have portrayed women in a positive light.

There are arguments to be made in defense pictures like [on Saturday's main site] that include:

1. These pictures in general capture a sense of what it’s like to be at a CrossFit Cert. If women with low-cut tops are doing a back extension that is something you might see. If you take all the pictures ever posted from all the Certs, it’s not like there is a disproportional number of these types of shots.

2. These women are real CrossFitters. There is no reason they should not be included in the community as they are and as they dress. For example, if someone thinks that tattoos are a bad idea, that doesn’t mean CrossFit should stop photographing athletes with tattoos. Some people may be uncomfortable with women who dress revealingly, but CrossFit is not devoted to meeting some ideal about how the world ought to be.

There are arguments to be made against pictures like today’s that include:

1. It undercuts the attributes of the women that are most admired by the CrossFit Community, namely their fitness-related accomplishments. For example, it is not a coincidence that for the purpose of the demonstration, the participants were viewing the exercise from an entirely different angle.

2. It invariable leads to comments focusing on those parts of the woman’s anatomy that were not developed by either diet or CrossFit.

In general, I think those who are the most uncomfortable are those who are applying a standard they have experienced in academic and workplace environments. For example, if this were a website for a corporation, today’s picture would never had made it on. The same is true if this were a university. But CrossFit is neither of these things. The notions of a “hostile work environment” are simply not applicable here.

In school and in the workplace, rules and laws are forced upon us. At CrossFit, the only real rule is to keep it if it works and discard it if it doesn’t.
