10:05
Definitely a very beatable time.
I was a little tentative and self-conscious on all the jumping. I was afraid my neighbors would get all upset.
I even did this one Batman-style by flipping off the lights to do it in the dark. I didn't want my other neighbors staring at the sweaty guy jumping up and down in the window.
So my CrossFit withdrawals are officially kicking in. It's 1:00 am and I just got home from work--the horrendous hours are beginning. Anyway, not sure how/when I can make it in this week, but glad to hear all the PRs on the Totals.
Also, as for weekend WODS, I personally like them early so that it gets me up and gets me going in the morning. I also think that with the Brooklyn gym running later hours people have an outlet if they want to go later, so I like the idea of 8:00,9:00 or 10:00am, personally.
Hope to see you all soon.
Scott, strong work yesterday!
Looking forward to a ground floor Helen tonight.

Do we have a 1.5 pood KB at BBB?
Yeah Hari. We also have a few 2 poods if someone is feeling extra chipper and wanted to do Eva instead...
Leslie and I are also booked on the same Bolt Bus as Brett... Bauer should be as well if he did what he was supposed to do.
Hari
We have a pair of 1.5 poods.
Sunday Beach WOD
(Aug 3)
This weekend is supposed to be looking real nice.
So I was wondering who would be interested in going out to Jones Beach to get some Sun, Crossfit and Beer.
Those interested, meet up at 10am Sunday at Penn station.
(there's a 10:15am train, and then short bus ride)
*hopefully we'll get lucky and get a beach friendly WOD from HQ. But im sure we'll manage, especially with all the burpees everyone's been doing.
10:50 -ish, as RX'd. Might've been a little faster, I couldn't really hear Court very clearly while I was hacking my lungs out on the floor.
Then did Court's waiter walk thing.
Then did DL 245lb 5x5.

Ran out of gas on round 3, missed afternoon snack. I think this might be a PR by a little bit.

I still can't run. Everything over 200m feels like LSD.
