Team “CrossFit Fire Kicking Ass in Aromas, CA” Saturday!

July 11th, 2009, by Zach

Hey guys and gals and peeps and CrossFitters and YOU! Most of us have followed Garth's picture-posts or Jennie's comments on Facebook. Maybe some of you have been texting too! I just wanted to drop it while it's still hot...

CrossFit Fire busted their ass in the competition on Friday and placed 60th out of 99 teams! Way to represent. This is the first CrossFit HQ sponsored competition for CrossFit Fire and a great team came together and made us all back home very proud to be a CrossFORTer. Much love. Can't wait to get you guys back!

Team Saturday garnered a great turnout. I think it was somewhere just under 40 people! Like 12 or something... There were TONS of people there this morning. OKAY? It was f^$%*@g awesome. Some last minute changes were made depending on the number of attendees. I ended up making it an even twelve so I paired up with Giles and we busted some ass along side 5 other teams. Jeff and Dave came out on top with 9.5 rounds! Congrats Team Jave! Or Deff? Whichever you prefer... :)

Everybody did a great job grinding out this 35 minute AMRAP:
5 push-ups
20 sit-ups
5 pull-ups
Team tire flip and jump through
400m run

I will use the Champs to illustrate the way this worked. Dave ran 400m first. While Dave was running Jeff rep'd through the push-ups, sit-ups, and pull-ups. When they were both finished, together they flipped the tire and then individually jumped through the tire to the other side. When the last person jumped through, they could each begin the next exercise. In this case Jeff would now run while Dave reps it out. Make sense? Well it would have if you were there! Ohhhh SNAP! That's right. I said it!

Team Saturday Champions!

Team Saturday Champions!

My apologies to the Champs for forgetting my camera. This pic was on my phone. If I made it any bigger it looks too crappy. It's amazing how we were able to fit ALL that CHAMPION into one little photo!

    LOVED today's workout, Zach!! Whoever put that workout together is a genius. No, scratch that, an "F'in Genius"!

    Best part of today's workout was each of us cheering each other on throughout the whole 35 minute workout.

    Cool having FIVE people at the intro class, too. Thanks to Boyd and Mark for doing that "Want Mohr" with me and the other five new guys, George, Mike, Phil, Rob, and Andy. I believe Zach called it "Flatulent Fran":

    AMRAP in 10:00 of:
    5 burpees
    10 pullups
    15 situps

    Love it!

    Dave! You are a stud when it comes to getting people in the door! Hopefully Flatulent CINDY didn't scare those guys away. I know Rob is signed up already. Andy is on deck. Phil seemed real interested. George is a fucking Ox. Hopefully we can get him in there too.

    Ultimate Frisbee THIS Thursday (the 16th) at Converse Park in Island Lake @ 7pm.

    This is NOT recreational. We will NOT have fun. Do NOT come unless you are an EXPERT at Ultimate Frisbee. We do NOT have tolerance for moderate performance.

    I'm totally fucking around. Hahahaha! I just learned how to throw a Frisbee :)

    Mark Ritchie will be coaching us on how to play if you don't know.

    Way to GO!!! Congratulations I hope you are as proud of yourselves as the rest of Crossfit Fire is.

    All of the dedication and hard work paid off BIG TIME! Keep up the great work. Look at what was acomplished at this years games; no telling what can be done at the 2010 games.

    Hey Brit will you make a victory cake?
