Run 15 K
Post time to comments.
At the Box, we'll be adapting this WOD, for obvious reasons. We've got 4 rowers, so we'll do some long rows for those who'd like to do that, and personally I'm open to other options at the lunchtime class that I'll be teaching. (Josh, if you're reading this and want to weigh in in the comments as to what your plans are for the evening classes, please do so.)
Happy belated birthday to Kurt! (His birthday was yesterday, didn't see that on his Facebook til late in the day.)
To stem the spread of obesity, we must study the web of commercial interests and strategies driving it
Another reason to avoid exercise machines: you might get slung-shot off of them
Brian D. shows us how to put the "active" in active recovery
"Hour's exercise needed to lose weight" (or you could just do crossfit, where we do an hour's worth of exercise in 20 minutes)
Fructose makes you fat?
Happy birthday, Kurt!
I hope somebody buys you some grownup clothes!
Happy Birthday Kurt!!
I'm amused by the response to this WOD on the main page :) I have a easy 10k run in my training plan for today, figure I'll tack on a fast 5k to the end (just for shitsandgiggles).
Happy Birthday Kurt!!
Also wanted to extend birthday wishes to one of our newest members, recent Elements Workshop graduate David S.
Happy birthday, guys!
And if you're wondering about Kurt's pants, ask him the story behind them... :)
Happy Birthday Kurt.
yup those look like capris to me.
Hi, thanks, Allison!
Jacinto's creation for the 7am WOD class:
"Tabata You Gotta Be Kidding Me"
Consecutive Tabata intervals (i.e., 8 rounds of 20 sec of work followed by 10 sec of rest) of the following 4 exercises:
--wallball
--pullups
--squats
--sumo deadlift highpulls
(not sure what weights were done on wallball or SDLHPs)
Chadron: 270
Laura: 260
Happy Birthday Kurt!
Happy Birthday David!
Are you guys running the 15k on your birthday?
Thanks guys. I wondered when that picture would resurface. The story that Allison alluded to, is that I grabbed a pair of shorts quickly in the morning to take to the gym. When I arrived at B3, I realized I had taken my gf's pants instead. Needless to say, I wasn't going home without a workout, but they didn't exactly...fit right. :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID AND KURT
WELCOME TO CROSSFIT DAVID.
15k
1:34:38
Nice work juan!
I worked on deadlifts, power cleans (thanks AllisonNYC ;), and OHS's.
Great work on OHS's Allisonnyc! Especially with 180!!
By the way guys I'm bartending tonight at Payard if you want to stop by for dinner(Its Restaurant Week), desserts or a drink. it would be great to see you there.
Payard Patisserie and Bistro
1032 Lexington Ave between 73 and 74st
take the 6 train to 77th and walk south 2 1/2 blocks. Its on the west side of Lex.
Happy Birthday Kurt!
I thought you had grown 6 inches since doing CrossFit ;)
kevin how late is the payard open till?
*re-posting this just in case anyone missed it
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.
I am in for the beach on sunday. I'm bringing my roommate along, and yes, she is hot.
I'll be slogging through Central Park tonight trying to get this done. If anyone is up there, keep your eyes peeled for a Black Box shirt. I'll be running the big loop with an extra lap around the reservoir + to and from home to make it 9.3 miles.
OHS 180#
New PR
Wow. I've been reading these reviews for Payard and they certainly aren't flattering, especially in regards to the service!
I think one critic complained that they ordered a drink and they were largely ignored by a snooty bartender who couldn't be bothered as he was doing kettlebell swings.
15k rowed on the C2.
1h19m45secs.
Did you know you can get blisters from rowing on the c2?
well, you can...
+80 pushups.
Happy Birthday Kurt!
I didn't have time to do the full 15K today and only got 10K in (one lap of the Central Park big loop, which may be a little under 10K)
...so, 10K: 49:48.8
If I'm feeling ambitious this weekend, I might try the full 15K after one of the WODs since it's a goal of mine to bring my 10K time under 45 minutes.
At CrossFit South Brooklyn:
AMRAP in 15 minutes of:
5 95# full squat cleans
10 chest to the bar pull-ups
5 pull-ups short of 10 rounds
hate to make excuses but my legs were just a little bit tired from those OHS. I kept moving the whole time though.
1:31:21 Legs were very heavy and tired towards the end but wind was good. Route was around central park big loop, around reservoir and back to apartment.
What's the rest day workshop(?) topic tomorrow?
