Fun part of the day-getting up to see what's in store for me later!!! Just looked these up...should be a challenge. Will be at the 7, without kids! Have a night off and where do I spend it?

Sam Z. - Sep 16 2009 - 06:43 AM

There is nothing like a good thruster after a good snatch wod!

Sam Z. - Sep 16 2009 - 07:42 AM

Kat - I would sooner gouge my own eyes out with a spoon. Although the thought of a play on said subject matter made me chuckle....

Rest Day run- SBUX HPV run, avg. pace 8:50, best pace 4:59 (sprint in), 5.1 miles. Nice to see Vic there....Jac and Ant we are waiting...

Bo - Sep 16 2009 - 08:40 AM

Ant or Dean or someone smart enough to figure this out: Wayne ran a 4:59 mile how man MPH is he averaging

Guy - Sep 16 2009 - 08:47 AM

12 mph.

Guy - Sep 16 2009 - 08:50 AM

This mornings WOD had my head throbbing at 65# and 9:15. I thought my head was going to asplode. Sweat like Niagra Falls.

Chase - Sep 16 2009 - 08:52 AM

4:42 Rx'd Ant - Good doing biznass with you this morning. Linda - Always a pleasure! Way to accidentally step it up this morning haha. Mark - Love it Wayne - Nice run, but are you saying you actually ran a sub 5 min mile for the last mile....?

Randy T - Sep 16 2009 - 08:55 AM

9:30 w/ 75# I am still sweating, Bo, thanks for the translation, I still don't know sbux?? But, knowing Wayne, I am sure it is good

Doctors appt tomorrow morning...finally get to see whats going on with the aching foot/knee. Missing WODs is getting old...this one looks like a blast!!

Chase - Sep 16 2009 - 09:08 AM

Mike - Hope everything turns out to be okay brotha

Dr. Dreidel - Sep 16 2009 - 09:24 AM

Mark, in response to your post, which was brilliant by the way. http://www.dutchlowy.com/2009/09/14/take-your-shirt-off/ I don't mean to drop names like I was dropping the weight last night but the author of this post, Wes aka Snipes, was originally a member of Windy City CrossFit and now owns CrossFit Austin. He is a great guy and some of you might recognize him as he competed against some of you at regionals this year. I don't like to brag but "The Cal" is named after one of my closest friends in Chicago and I have first hand knowledge of how strong he has gotten since employing "the Cal." He was a member of the WCCF affiliate team that finished 12th at the games this year and just started crossfitting a year ago.

Mike, Iron Mike, Prison Mike, Nuclear Mike, Gargiu, Gargigolo, Black Sock Mike, The Method Man of CFDC - Sep 16 2009 - 09:28 AM

Thanks Chase! I'm just looking forward to getting it figured out so I can train accordingly

Wayne - Sep 16 2009 - 10:01 AM

no, no...just the best pace was 4:59 and it is not for a mile. I'l leave the sprint in pace off going forward.... Calm down folks or come run sometime and find out....

Wayne - Sep 16 2009 - 10:00 AM

Linda: did AAA ever show up?

Geezy - Sep 16 2009 - 10:13 AM

Great post Noah lol "sans (that's French for without)... without (that’s English for sans)..."

B - Sep 16 2009 - 10:28 AM

Checking in from the road. WOD yesterday - hike up and down two primary falls at Columbia River Gorge (multnomah & wahkeena)appoximately 3 miles with a handstand photo with the falls in the background. WOD today - white water kayaking in the powerhouse section of the Rouge River near Merlin, Oregon. I figure 5hours of that should do it! FTW! Miss you roosters!

Sam Z. - Sep 16 2009 - 11:26 AM

I'm flying a bit blind here as I could not read the article from Mark's post. For some reason the internet police here deemed it inappropriate. Anyhow, I am believer in "The Cal". I don't know what it is about rolling shirtless (RS), but I pretty much RS every WOD. For me, there's not a lot of thought as to why I RS. It just feels comfortable to me as I sweat a ton and I like the feel. I believe there's lots of different reasons why folks RS. In truth, I am sure to varying degrees of conciousness that some of what I describe below contribute to my habitual RS practice. Here's what I got: Ego - hey check out my rad body....I look good, so allow me to share.... Insecurity - hey I'm really not a great athlete but I look pretty good. My RSness might make you pay less attention to how bad I am. Comfort - there are those that don't have love for heavy sweaty t-shirts. Even the new fangled sweat wicking shirts can feel uncomfortable to some. Stickiness blows. Primal feel - there are those that subscribe not just to the paleo diet but to the paleo way of life. Folks, Caveman did not wear a shirt but I think he he did however wear some form of loin cloth. There are some that just like the primal, caveman-like feel of sweat rolling off the chest. The "I RS b/c you can't at Globo Gym" reason. This does not need much explanation as let's face it we do things a bit different at CF and we ain't Globo Gym. Get chicks - again, this does not need much explanation. For some, this experiment might do more harm than good. "The Follower" - others are doing it, so shall I. Some seek acceptance, some just need others to RS before them...... "I don't want to get back in my car with a stankyass shirt on" - again, explanation is not really necessary here. The recession - If I RS then I don't really have a need to buy work-out shirts. This is for the thrifty thinker. Fashion - you don't have to worry about matching attire when you RS. The kickin' my performance to another level reason - Clearly my RSness allows me to kick my performance to another quantum of achievement that could never be accomplished without my partial nakedness. In sum, there's lots of reasons why people RS. I'm sure there are more than I have covered. What I do know is that everyone should try it at least once.... Z

Wayne - Sep 16 2009 - 11:05 AM

The world seems a little emptier today but this makes me feel better: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5o6QGBNv58w

Sirkis - Sep 16 2009 - 11:11 AM

z - you should rename "the follower" to "cuz sirkis is doing it" Thanks

teena schultz - Sep 16 2009 - 11:20 AM

I'm only an 1 1/2 hours into my shift and I just want to lay my head on the desk and take a long power nap. WOD was great but really kicked my butt! I really do not like burpees....I guess I cannot like everything. Great job 7a.m.ers

Neal - Sep 16 2009 - 11:22 AM

Sam Z - You left out the Hulk Effect (hogan or green) which is where an athlete gets so pumped up he rips his shirt off. This causes athletes to forego shirts in order to keep their remaining shirts intact.

Chase - Sep 16 2009 - 11:23 AM

Neal - Choice

Sam Z. - Sep 16 2009 - 11:25 AM

Neal - excellent! As I said, I know I did not cover everything. Thanks for adding.

SP - Sep 16 2009 - 11:32 AM

I like the superstition(sp?) effect - you are struggling so bad through a workout, maybe if you take your t-shirt off that will make all the difference and give you new powers...

Chase - Sep 16 2009 - 11:34 AM

SP - wait.. it doesn't do that?

Sam Z. - Sep 16 2009 - 11:35 AM

Yeah SP nice. The "I gotta change things up" approach. I bet it works like a charm.

Jacquelyn - Sep 16 2009 - 11:37 AM

SP- I've never thought of superstition... but since I started running distance for some reason when it really starts to hurt and your doing everything you can to not slow down, I always take my shirt off... it helps me! haha... although I don't tend have the same desire at CF

Wade A. Padgett - Sep 16 2009 - 12:02 PM

How about the I like to be as naked as possible at all times scenario. It holds true at my house too.

Wade A. Padgett - Sep 16 2009 - 12:02 PM

Jac- are Spider Monkeys ever shirtless?

ebooth - Sep 16 2009 - 12:07 PM

J takes her shirt off

Sam Z. - Sep 16 2009 - 12:17 PM

Wade - Word. For some there's the "I RS so I can show you my jewelry" reason.

Wade A. Padgett - Sep 16 2009 - 12:27 PM

it is mesmerizing

Sam Z. - Sep 16 2009 - 12:32 PM

Indeed it is Wade....indeed it is.....

E - Sep 16 2009 - 12:44 PM

SP, I totally subscribe to the superstition routine. Sometimes when a workout is in a longer time domain your mind says to you at about the 6 minute mark, "alright, it's time to pop this shirt off and get to work." I think this really plays into the whole ritual aspect of the mental game. Popping your shirt off can be a mental trigger to stepping your game up. http://www.break.com/its-always-sunny-in-philadelphia/the-gang-gets-invi...

Sam Z. - Sep 16 2009 - 12:48 PM

Wade - you bringing you and your chest bling to the fiver?

Faith - Sep 16 2009 - 01:09 PM

The shirtless debate (although there isn't any arguing) is great. Although, laughing while your professor is giving some long speech is not always good. Pool workout: 200m warm up. 10 min continuous swimming, 200m drills 50m sprint, 30s tread, 30s plank, 25m swim. x8 200m cool down I felt like jello getting out of the pool so this WOD may be real fun tonight.

Neal - Sep 16 2009 - 01:13 PM

ERIC - YES! I shoulda popped my shirt off...

JD - Sep 16 2009 - 01:24 PM

Er, I have nothing to add to the shirtless debate, but I do have a minute to thank the Roosters for having me this morning. I upped my Fran weight by 10#, for a total of 45#. Rough, but doable. 8:31. My decision to come at 6am was inspired largely by something I've observed in the central core of regulars--just do it. I've noticed through the boards that people like chase, dean, mere, tyler, mel, et al--y'all come at all hours of the day. I can only assume that is based on what you have to do that day. One thing I really appreciate about crossfit is how proximity to excellence inspires excellence. So, even though I'm in JT and have junior league tonight, I thought to myself WWDD (what would dean do--ironic since he told me he's actually not working but whatever). Anyway, I got my ass up and went, and I'm so glad I did. Anyhoozy, gotta get back to it. Later and good luck 7pmers!

Dave - Sep 16 2009 - 01:33 PM

I visited Northwest Crossfit here in Seattle this week. They were the winners of the 2009 Affiliate Games. I told them I did crossfit in Dallas. The trainers instantly were like Crossfit Strong? I said, "No Dallas Central." Their response was, "oh...central...they were our competitors in the games." Again I said I'm at Dallas Central not the one in Austin. I was a little upset they had not heard of us...so just to put it out there to the CFDC elite and elite to be. Work hard and please put together a team for this years affilate games. Would love to see CFDC get the press it deserves not only from our athletes but also our coaching. miss you guys and gals.

Casey - Sep 16 2009 - 01:33 PM

I'd like to add the Mr. Pukey Effect. I RS when I have a fear of puking because I don't want today's lunch and mid-afternoon snack on my ninja t-shirt.

Given that I puked after Tabata Something else, you can bet I'll be RS tonight.

Wade A. Padgett - Sep 16 2009 - 01:35 PM

Samz-yes i already have my puke bucket this is going to be awesome

Wade A. Padgett - Sep 16 2009 - 01:39 PM

we need a CFDC cheat day here

Faith - Sep 16 2009 - 01:42 PM

Wade, I eat food at the fair I would *never* even touch anywhere else. Some of that looks amazing and disgusting at the same time.

Scott - Sep 16 2009 - 01:57 PM

I RS at home. CFDC is my second home. Therefore, I RS at CFDC. I had an early meeting today, but might try this one at home tonight (RS style).

Chris - Sep 16 2009 - 02:10 PM

Swam 1,500 meters at lunch. See y'all tomorrow night. Last night Red and I had fried chocolate pie with ice cream at Peggy Sue's BBQ on Snider Plaza; both agreed it was state fair worthy.

Sam Z. - Sep 16 2009 - 02:11 PM

Wade - u r going first on this one pal....

Mel - Sep 16 2009 - 02:16 PM

Oh Wade - those foods look bad and good all at the same time - my stomach already hurts... I love a good State Fair corn dog though...

HoJack - Sep 16 2009 - 02:29 PM

My RS protocol is totally random. It was rain-forest humid last night and the fans weren’t turned on. The shirt came off during the last few rounds of box jumps. Besides the immediate relief I felt from peeling the shirt off, the process also gave me a second to summon up some extra determination…kind of like taking a dramatic moment to roll-up your sleeves before saying something important. After all of this analysis, I am sure that I will be hyperconscious of any decision to RS in the future.

Jacquelyn - Sep 16 2009 - 02:34 PM

Wade - Spider monkey's are always top less!! As far as the fair food... I've never been to the Texas fair except for GameDay.. of which I'm always so spent after the Game (and the night before) that I usually go home, this year, I'm going cause I gotta try the fried cake!

Jamie - Sep 16 2009 - 02:41 PM

This WOD looks awesome! I'm sorry to miss it. Love the RS discussion, and this clip of The Gang popping their shirts off: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=438...

Guy - Sep 16 2009 - 03:15 PM

I think Mark's RS chart applies the most to me. Hopefully by the time I hit ~5 minute Fran, I'll be in such good physical condition that I finally meet some of Z's reasonings.

HoJack - Sep 16 2009 - 03:29 PM

Many of Sam's reasons were foreign to me too, Guy. But in a box without mirrors, it seems that I am much more likely to feel emboldened.

Guy - Sep 16 2009 - 03:34 PM

We can't all be shirtless all the time. Else, clothing companies would go out of business and CFDC wouldn't sell its remaining shirt inventory.

Casey - Sep 16 2009 - 03:44 PM

Correct Guy...but let's be realistic, I think we all wear our CFDC shirts out more than we wear them to the box.

Mel - Sep 16 2009 - 03:52 PM

something just wrong with this...

Geezy - Sep 16 2009 - 04:05 PM

Did 21-15-9 95# push-press with 42-30-18 cal row... time was eight-oh-tree I feel as sore as I did my first week of CrossFit. Judging by the attendance at the nooner today (5 peeps) I'd say many of you do too... good stuff I'm reluctant to RS because 1.) I don't have the goods and 2.) I don't want folks thinkin I THINK I have the goods... when I obviously don't

John Jarrett - Sep 16 2009 - 04:34 PM

I love the RS diatribe, Thanks Sam Z. Were you sitting on the porcelain pony when you came up with that one? I RS because it's Freedom, and that's what I live for...Freedom.

Larry - Sep 16 2009 - 04:40 PM

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT FOR ALL MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN: Silverback will not be going shirtless.

Huckabee - Sep 16 2009 - 04:53 PM

I picked up a pair of women's sandals and cross necklace today at the noon class that I thought was left by my daughter. She just informed me this was NOT hers. Sorry! I will return them at tomorrow's 7pm in case you are missing them.

Matt - Sep 16 2009 - 04:56 PM

↑↑↑↑ HAHAHAHAHA Bummer, no gorillas in the mist

Neal - Sep 16 2009 - 04:59 PM

I knew this one was going to suck, but I still had fun! 7 flat 45# (5 more pounds than Fran weight, yay!) Thanks for taping my wrists, Tate. Definitely helped a ton! Awesome determination and guts, Faith! Thanks for counting for me and pushing me!

HoJack - Sep 16 2009 - 08:42 PM

10:28/75lbs. My vision was impaired by sweat and a lack of oxygen to my brain at the time but there seemed to be a large crew of 7PMers yelling at me not to drop the bar at the end.Thank you.

Casey - Sep 16 2009 - 09:12 PM

10:48/65#. That was rough but fun. thanks for the good coaching, Chase. Howard, you killed it. Nice.

Mike K - Sep 16 2009 - 09:20 PM

[xulab] - Sep 16 2009 - 09:47 PM

4:48 at 95 lbz. made up for my crappy snatching yesterday. i still can't straighten my arms, i'm afraid i'll snap my biceps off. from monday: dean, welcome back to the pull up bar.

Sam Z. - Sep 16 2009 - 10:38 PM

7:07 RS and Rx I love the lively RS discussion today. In the end, it's all about what you are feelin'. At the least, everyone should feel comfortable to RS if they so choose. Wade, as always Bro, you are the man. I love doing work with you. Great effort. Cap'n thanks for the advice about engaging the abs. I wasn't able to do it all the time, but when I did it made a world of difference. As I told my rabbi tonight, in 4 months of Crossfit, I finally felt a little (and I stress - a little) comfortable feeling uncomfortable today. John - I was inspired by Mark and Rab to speak about my thoughts on RS. I actually do most of my deep thinking in the shower and not on the pot. Howard - I really appreciated your posts today. Z PS - Vic you are a freaking animal. Everyday I am amazed at your feats of athletic prowess. The coolest part is that you are an even greater person. Awesome job today - you are so WIN!

John Jarrett - Sep 16 2009 - 10:31 PM

8:28 @ 65#s. Good Work Team 6.

Michelle Mc. - Sep 16 2009 - 11:01 PM

Loved the seven o'clock crew tonight...thanks, Nikki, for partnering...great job and so odd we had the exact same time!!! First time doing the thrusters...6:40 35#; working on form.. Chase-tug-o-war was great...childhood memories. Thanks for the support. So loving this...
