    Surprisingly, I did not use bad words this morning !!! I don’t really like toes through rings usually hehe !!! I guess I’m either stronger or I just have more endurance 😀 Good workout today 🙂

    QOD
    – Get confortable with being unconfortable (Thanks Corinna 🙂 )
    – I don’t listen to RAP, I AMRAP
    – If it’s important, you’ll find a way. If it’s not, you’ll find an excuse

  22. Joanna

    QOD: A few I’ve collected over time…

    “I’ll show you my jerk if you show me your snatch”
    “Crossfit – Have you hugged the floor today?”
    “I’d run away if I could use my legs”
    ” I clean, I jerk and I have a nice snatch”
    “Do what? How many times? For how many rounds? And come back tomorrow?”
    “You train to look good, We train to kick your ass” or “Bust mine to kick yours”
    “Stop working out on machines, be one”
    “Harder, Better, Faster, STRONGER”
    “The magic is in the movement, the art is in the programming, the science is in the explanation, and the fun is in the community.”
    “OCD=Obsessive CrossFit Disorder”

    1. Gillyon

      Me too! I also like:
      – you train to look good, I train to kick your @ss
      – your girl does Pilates, I do pullups.

    A quote regarding Chris Spealler in one of today’s artical in the Crossfit Journal…

    “Spealler scares the big people, empowers the little people, inspires all the people.”

  26. Lora

    “You’ll pass out before you die” (one of old CFM T-shirt slogans) is one of my favourites.

    Also:
    “Your workout is our warmup” (on CF Fredericton’s tshirt, I think)
    “Raise the bar” (forget where I saw this one)
    “I would rather wear chalk than lipstick” (I think I heard Joanna say this the other day”
    “Don’t just do it…do it for time”.

    🙂

    I saw this one at the hopper a few weeks ago and I actually laughed out loud… to myself… I’m not sure if I’m remembering it properly but I think it went,

    Time : 5:39

    Cashout: Prayer Stretch

    Arriving late threw me off. Started off too slow. During my last set had like 3 no reps on the rings because I kept kicking the box and losing all momentum. Wasted a good 15secs + doing that…

    Loved the WOD but I could of done much better. Boo.

    QOD : “Embrace the suck” or any puns with snatchs or jerks lol.

    Really sore from yesterday so it was nice to take extra time for the warm-up today.

    WOD: RX

    Time: 3:53

    My toes to bar felt awesome today! I loved this WOD!

  42. Corinna

    Last time I did today’s WOD my time was 4:45 and I did situps and not toes to bar. PR 52 seconds. For all of you who are struggling with toes to bar; take it from the girl who could not do one of these 2 years ago, they do get better with work!

    I was so discombobulated after the ” Nutts WOD” yesterday that I could not even imagine not remembering doing this WOD in the past. Well it turns out that I did indeed do this WOD last year and my time was 30:28, so I got a PR yesterday of 2:55!!!! Cool!

    I guess we do eventually forget all the pain storms we put our minds and body through doing Cross Fit! Thank the Jesus I’d say!
