PR of 5 pull-ups but no band this time! Yay
Good work 6amers, Trent and Vincent I have
Fun trying to keep up with you, you guys are fast!
Huge PR and I’m pretty sure your running was a a lot quicker than mine. Good job this morning.
I think you’re the fast one, considering they are twice your height and you can still keep up with them!
Congrats on band-free pull ups and your PR. That’s fantastic progress, Maria!
PR and no bands? Congrats Maria. That’s huge!!
The tough mudder event was so much fun! I had a blast. I’m not in that photo cause I finished earlier (3hrs 20 min) and had to take off to head back to the family. I was able to complete all the obstacles with out any help. ( crossfit training really helped for most, if not all of it, especially the funky monkey bars and Berlin walls) I don’t think I would have been able to complete these unassisted before crossfit 10 months ago.
See you guys soon
Good to see yon this morning coach Corinna what a nice surprised.

I was just wondering Kevin for the mobility class if you allow people to sign up for another class that day or if you’d rather they didn’t.
Yes, for mobility you can do another class that day 🙂
Awesome thank you:D
Ummmm….yeah….Mr Pretzel, come next week and “hang out” with us for 30 minutes again…holy flexible! I was happy to *almost* get my elbow to the floor until I looked over and you had your entire chest flat on the floor! LOL. Nice work!

Nice job Frank!
Thanks guys!
As tough as it was, i felt like crossfit trainning got me more than prepared for this event. Many runners struggled on the steep hills. Some puked, many had severe cramping, etc. I wouldn’t say it was easy but i felt great through the whole thing. I’m already considering doing it again. Who’s with me? Haha
Not surprised that Crossfit prepared you for this event. Congratulations on finishing Tough Mudder unscathed…(well, except for your hair, but damn, you look so BAD ASS with that mohawk!)
Me 🙂
Ditto to that Pat. CrossFit was the best training for this type of event and I felt great through the whole thing, and surprisingly, only a little bit sore today. Such a fun time and oh, what a rush at the finish line!
Congrats on your “Tough Mudder” status Heidi….but then again, I always knew you were 😉

First time for this one I think (even after 2 years!) Would love to have run fast enough to get a few more PU in that last round – 400m is a lot of running for 3 extra reps!!
Good job in the heat everyone!
BONUS: Monday mobility class with the amazing Joanna!
Nice work on the WOD Heather! 🙂
Amazing eh? Thanks 🙂 Great job doing all those runs “just for giggles” lol oh and nice job on the pullups too!

And thanks for writing that last time you were on the bands – it gives me hope for the future 🙂

Is there a crying wall? If not, can we get one so i can sign it? Thanks Jo for reminding me to breathe 🙂
If there was a crying wall, my name would be on it more than once! Good on you for sticking it out through a tough WOD 🙂
She even did 3 more after the time was up just for fun.
Great perserverance Brigitte – been there myself. Next time you’ll take this WOD by storm!
I would have had to sign that wall a few times!

Possibly could have gotten one more round but I had to stop to see if Brigitte was dying. Jo informed me she was intact so I went back to work. 😉
Love you baby ;P
Nice work as Rx Jack. That’s a lot of pullups for a relative “newbie”.
Thanks. My forearms are telling me it was alot. I could have been faster on the runs but I was just feeling gassed tonight for some reason. Alot of bad eating and drinks on the weekend would be the culprit I think.

This was great. It will definitely be a regular workout soon.
I would really like to try that one. Funny run part 2 maybe?
Ohhhhh…I like the look of this 🙂 Last time “Nicole” came up as a WOD (June 2/11) I had a shoulder injury and subbed Max Front Squats for Max Pull ups. From what I recall it was “deeeee-lish”!

great job 5:45. Awesome to see papa bear do his first wod, it was a good one
Do you have any adverse reaction to kryptonite?
Wow…huge numbers on the pull ups. Great job.
Sorry I missed your Dad’s first WOD. I look forward to seeing him around the gym!
Awesome numbers on this WOD Shawn! Keep up the great work!
handstand push ups and pistols can take me down pretty easily
Gotta say, CrossFit REALLY prepared me for the Tough Mudder both mentally and physically. It’s a very challenging course, but I knew given what I have accomplished at CFM that I could get through it. We stayed together as a pretty large group but what we gave up in time we made up for in team spirit. An AMAZING experience! CrossFit Moncton was well represented! See you at the box soon!
Congrats on making it through Tough Mudder! It sounds like you all had a blast!
Congrats Tough Mudders! 🙂
