hey CFB,

did tuesday team WOD with 4 man team, so no rest for any of us in this one. modified to 15 minutes for time and completed 2 full rounds and started 3rd when time went off. our full rounds were when the first lunger was back to the lunge station for 1 round.

great stuff. legs are paying

as for the caption,

Matt says "New event fellow crossfitters, Team posing competition for 2010 Calander!"

I quoted rounds cause we didn't have time to record numbers for score.

Thanks again

"I think for the floor part of my gymnastic routine I'm going to use the ribbon. I think I'm going to finish with an aribesque into a summersault and then end in this pose. What do you think? Too much?"

[Andrew White]

Taz with every WOD you should shoot for the moon.....................cause even if you miss, you'll land amongst the stars!!!! Thats how I role he he he.

Anna, Anna, Anna...... we salute you... those in the 6am class who witnessed 252 unbroken push-presses were privileged to witness such a terrific effort.. i doubt i could do that number with the broom stick... Gratulacje

[Shiela]

:O the spelling of my name has been written incorrectly :( haha. I hit a PB of 40 when before it was 15 which I'm happy about. During the continuous reps round on the 50% I tended to push up on my toes when I was getting tired which was frustrating me...

[Shiela]

"I'm telling you, I can box jump this high. Rob has nothing on me"

"bullshit"

The saying maybe true that "whiteman can't jump", but I'll tell you what Taz, you should see me fly!!!.....

I'm all push pressed out after this morning...felt I had no strength to push on hence the 2 failures @ 90kg but the beauty about CrossFit is there's always tomorrows WOD.

Something tells me after a conversation with Matt this morning that Hand Stand Push Ups are looming in a WOD soon.....haha!!! Awesome work Anna....Awesome!!!

[Anka]

Thank you Roger, especially for this bit in Polish :-)

I guess an endurance while under a light load is my strength.

Liz B did her 250 reps without much trouble... it was a great effort Liz! Congratulations.

Tara and Shiela - 40kg push presses - nice work!

[Anka]

I could sign under Karel's caption for the photo.
It's great, I love it :-)

[Taz]

I'm sticking with my original caption

'Two idiots.One camera.'

[Dom McKenna]

Wow Anna that is insane!! Good effort!!

[Brad]

Anna,
