    Hey everyone, on Feb 20th we’re going out to Whits for Zacks bday. I didn’t have everyone’s email here, so evite is linked to my name. I hope you all can come!! I was disappointed that there were no drunken handstand pushups during my birthday happy hour, so I’m hoping we can change that for his :)

  2. Kari

    I tried posting this already, so if this double-posts my apologies :)

    On Feb 20th we’re going to Whits for Zacks birthday around 9-ish. I didn’t have everyone’s email here, so evite is linked to my name. I hope you all can come!!

  3. Ken V.

    Anyone got tickets???

  4. Kari

    OK so I’ll try this one more time before I give up posting on the blog forever.

    Sat Feb 20th. Whitlows. Zack’s birthday. Evite linked to my name. Hope you ALL can come!!

  5. Dave

    Pete just because you have a tribal tatoo doesn’t mean you should pose as an Indian

  6. Kari

    test post, having issues

  7. DF Pete/The Conclusion

    Dave,

    Ha! Nice.

    See…all those years at Gold’s Gym doing bicep concentration curls and using the squat rack to do standing curls were not for nothing. God had a plan…they were all leading up to this moment…the pinnacle. I can die now…its all downhill! :)

  8. Kari

    OK clearly its working without an evite in my name. Lame. But whatever. So, Feb 20th. Zacks bday at Whits. Hope ALL of you can come! :)

  9. Dave C

    Did someone post something about a Shinedown concert a while back?

  10. Vaughn (Lumberjack)

    Since I know a lot of people don’t go back and read the later postings, I wanted to say thank-you to everyone for the birthday wishes!!

  11. The Condition

    Dave C,

    I did but I got harassed about it because Nickleback is headlining it haha.

  12. Vegas Mike

    Vaughn, my heterosexual life partner, sorry I missed the big day. Vegas is as wild as ever and getting stranger by the minute. I need to come back to DC for a rest. I hope you enjoyed your day and downed a gallon with the oreos(have you tried the vanilla ones yet?)

    As for your coworkers, tell them, game recognizes game at any age, and you will never see a tiger eat a salad.

    Enjoy your day(belated) and have a STELLA

    Vegas out

  13. Vaughn (Lumberjack)

    thanks Vegas, I am waiting on the oreos/beer until the 13th, but will make up for it…

    Happy Birthday Jay!

    Happy belated birthday to Vaughn, and Happy birthday to Jay, who will no doubt celebrate by skipping two meals today instead of one.

  20. mike m

    Condition- dont take his harassment, Brian wanted to go to the concert until he heard Kelly Clarkson wasnt going to be playing. I think he and Jon already rented a Winnebago to follow Cascada around the country the next time they tour.

  21. Mike C

    Brian I am noticing a lot of errors by you lately with the leaderboard Chris K also got 250.

  22. Mike H

    and I rocked 135#

  23. The Condition

    Brian PCF-

    I was merely letting Dave C know that there is a concert that has Shinedown in it. I apologize for not having Cascada or Paramore on the list.

  24. Erika - PCF

    Not Brian’s fault on the leaderboard….last night I compiled the results. Sorry, Chris K….I must have missed your name.

    That said, it is hard sometimes to put together the list if people (or coaches) forget to put times/loads on the whiteboard…or if those entries are unreadable.

    We’ll do a better job of getting this straight in the future, but please help us by ensuring your entries after each class are accurate.

  27. jkett

    Mike m,
    The Eagles are touring this summer I believe. Just another event for Brian to gear up for. Hotel California and Life in the Fast Lane are expecÞed to be played for him…

  28. Leigh

    No Pete, this is just the beginning. I see a bright future for you as the newest member of The Village People. “Y…M….C….A….” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS9OO0S5w2k

  29. Boston

    Erin (from beginning Oly class), if you are interested in continuing Oly training, email me at bboston@cs.georgetown.edu. I’m trying to organize something with the rest of our class. Thanks.

  30. DF Pete/The Conclusion

    Leigh,

    So now I’m the Disease Free Gay Indian Conclusion. It’s all a bit overwhelming! :)

  31. Leigh

    ..and model Pete, you forgot model.

  32. Goodluck Jonathan PCF

    And Erika once again publicly reprimands Jon…. Ouch.

    You could have just said “Someone….not naming names… has bad handwriting and sometimes doesn’t write “RX’d”. I think this person is short, needs a haircut, and loves Cascada. But seriously, not naming any names.

  33. Simple Jack

    Isn’t it “has a lego-man haircut” and not “need a haircut”

    –Crossfitter formerly known as Mike H

  34. DF Pete/The Conclusion

    Leigh,

    Yes…Model! Ok, now I have Rupauls “Work” in my head now.

  35. Erika - PCF

    Jon – believe it or not, I did not have you in mind when I wrote that (you know I have no problem making it known when I am calling you out). I was chastising all of us.

    Besides, if I was making reference to you, there are so many other things to make fun of besides you being short and having a bad haircut. And while we’re on the topic, can you explain why your new “name” is Goodluck Jonathan? I don’t get it.

    Hugs to you, though. You know I love ya.

  36. Kari

    Happy belated birthday Vaughn and Happy Birthday Jay!

  37. The Condition

    Happy Birthday Jay even though you really read the blog and won’t see this probably

    Metcon: 8 2/3 (thought this was good until Aviv announced that he did 11+…silly)

  39. Simple Jack

    you have to watch Aviv’s numbers…he does wod’s alone…so one can never be sure if he is pulling a Scott Q in Pakistan…

    only kidding aviv…and not kidding for you scott q

  40. Spider Monkey

    Happy Birthday Jay!
    (man, so many birthdays at the end of January – beginning of February)

    I love that Simple Jack has made it on the board.

  41. Goodluck Jonathan PCF

    Google it Erika. “Goodluck Jonathan” is the soon to be real name of the President of Nigeria.

  42. Leigh

    I’m so glad I finally know who Goodluck Jonathan is. I thought there was a new coach I hadn’t met yet or something…

    Happy B-day Jay!

  43. Abi

    We still don’t get it Jon, so why is that still “your” name….

    Unless you have goals of being the President of Nigeria ?

  44. Brian PCF

    Snatches @ 75

    Metcon – 6 rounds rx’d

  68. Kyle H.

    Power Snatch – stayed around 95lbs the whole time. Good power off the floor and over head. Need to work on gradual acceleration from floor to overhead – I tend to just rip the thing straight up – but not bad though.

    Metcon: 6 rounds + 11 (sub Box Jumps for Jump Squats)

  69. Lynette

    Snatch – 65#

    Metcon – 7 rounds. Jumping pullups and regular pushups. My jumping squats were way slower than usual because my thighs were still worn out from rowing yesterday.

  70. Zack

    worked on snatch balance with siddharth, whose cute, howling baby helped me work on focus. We stayed at 95-115#

    Metcon: 7 rounds rx. Had to break pullups a couple times and do a couple do overs.

  71. Zack

    *adorable, precious, cute, full-of-potential, howling baby

  72. Kari

    worked on squat snatch at stuck around 55 to work on form/speed.

    Metcon: 6 2/3 (4 squats short of 7!), kipping pullups, clapping pushups first 1.5 rounds, but switched to strict after that.

  73. Dan S

    Snatches ranged from 55# to 65#. 5 rounds on the metcon.

  74. Tim M

    had snatch solidly in the 95-100 range, but then whenever i went above 105 mysteriously didn’t have enough speed to get overhead.

    metcon = 6 rounds and change, pushups destroyed me
