Larry C hit 50 today, and to celebrate, decided to hit FRAN — and knocked it out at 6:48. Claudine Z turned 35 today, and celebrated with a “Filthy Thirty-Five” (doesn’t roll off the tongue quite like “Fifty”, but it’s her birthday, so she can name it whatever she likes. Both put in impressive efforts and continue to inspire everyone around them. Happy Birthday Larry and Claudine!

The Friday “Fight Gone Bad” saw many faces (some more pleasant than others, depending upon what time during the WOD, it was taken). Amongst those who stepped up were Kurt M, Dave G, Ryan D, John F, Kathy K, Delaney S, Kyle P, Christine S, Jon F, Claudine Z, and Matt G.

CINDY was on tap for Friday’s WOD: a 20 mim AMRAP of 5 Pull ups, 10 Push Ups, and 15 Air Squats. Nice turnout of members, with Steve R, Ryan D, Rob J, Scott L, Dave G, Nick M, Steve P, Dave S, Kevin Z, Claudine Z, Sonia B, Frank B, Delaney S, Cathy B, Jen L, and Matt G all getting it done.

Kevin Z recently joined, after his wife Claudine kept telling him what a great time she was having killing herself. Kevin and Claudine were nice enough to share some video footage of Kevin’s NEN (No Equipment Necessary) CrossFit workouts while away on vacation and no gym in sight. This is a “Grok” style workout. Just because you are away from home and don’t have access to equipment does not mean you still cannot train. Exercise is physical movement, your imagination creates and the environment dictates the programming…

The morning and lunch time classes gave it a good run today: 400m Run, 30 Box Jumps, 30 sec rest, 400m Run, 25 KB Swings, 30 sec rest, 400m Run, 20 Push Ups, 30 sec rest, 400m Run, and finish with 15 KB Sumo Dead Lift High Pulls. Pictured are Coach Marc L, Rob J, Ryan D, John E, Dave G, Luis B, Frank R, Kris S, Claudine Z, Anthony P, Nick M, and Jen T. Perfect day for a good, outdoor WOD!

Record turnout for the Monday WOD, which was “Little Eva“, but should have been named “Little Evil”: 5 rounds for time of 400m run, 15 KB Swings (70# men/ 53# women), and 15 Pull Ups. Ouchie [Read More] …

The lunch time crew also took a crack at “Fran”, with Jess G, Joe B, Claudine Z, Pedro R, Stephanie A and Pat W crushing it.

The Saturday Morning Team Workout was a blast! Three teams of two went at it, and it was something to see. Claudine brought her husband Kevin (who so “enjoyed” it, he joined after the workout), Ryan D and Rob J, and Coach Dave S and Mike D, took on “Walk the Plank“…while one member did Weighted Step Ups onto a box, the other partner had to hold a Front Plank position; each could switch off until 100 were completed.

The Noon Crew was ready for “Fight Gone Nasty” today: Claudine Z, Frank B, Delaney S, Nick M, Jen T, and Ryan D brought their “A” game for 3 rounds of KB Swings, Dumbbell Squats, Decline Push Ups, MB Slams, and Jump Rope. Go Nooners!

The 6pm class took it to the streets: Jen L, Frank B, Tim D, Claudine Z and Joe G started with a 400m Run, 30 Box Jumps, 30 sec rest, 400m Run, 25 KB Swings, 30 sec rest, 400m Run, 20 Push Ups, 30 sec rest, 400m Run, and 15 KB Sumo Deadlift High Pulls to finish. Coach Marianne ran the clock and took the pics. We are lucky to have such dedicated CrossFitters at CFC.
