  • Thanks for the feature, Allison! It’s been quite a week!

    Today’s wod was interesting to say the least….

    16:43 (followed by flopping around on the ground like a beached whale as I tried to catch my breath)

  • It was awesome meeting Linnea and competing alongside her at Hail to the Queen. AMAZING job on your first pull-up! Congrats!!

    Taking the day off today – planning on rolling like a madwoman. The Grid Roller has to be one of the best, most evil inventions to ever grace this Earth.

    • Thanks, Amber! It was great to meet you too. And congrats on those PRs yesterday. I saw that when I came in for 7:45.

    18:40 – blue band pull ups & ab mat HSPU. Now I’m ready to take over the world

    As a die-hard 49ers fan, I’d appreciate it if you refrained from posting articles about the team as I am still in mourning after what took place at the Super Bowl. 🙁
    Interesting article — I’m especially interested to know if any professional sports teams that incorporate Crossfit into their training camps/workouts, etc. (perhaps Crossfit Football)?

    any schedule changes due to the snow tomorrow ?

    • Stay tuned to the blog for updates tonight/tomorrow but for now I can tell you that tomorrow’s morning CFE classes (6:00 AM, 7:00 AM, and 8:00 AM, and 9:00 AM) are CANCELLED. They’ve been cancelled in Zen Planner and emails have been sent out to those who were registered to let them know of the cancellations. Thanks!

    Nice plug for the Pomodoro Technique! Can’t endorse it enough. The singular, most helpful trick to focusing in a world of omnipresent, newfangled distractions.
