Good luck James, we will miss you! Stay safe,you have a beautiful fiance to come home too. :)

For some reason, the registration page is not working for Tackle the Tower. But it looks like you can sign up the day of the event too. I'm going to keep trying. Who else wants to do Tackle the Tower with us???? Come on, it's all for fun. YOU CAN ALL DO IT! It won't be half as bad as some of the wods we do here at the gym. Just do it.

Thank you so much for providing so much pain and suffering on my behalf. I am however going to Afghanistan and I will uphold the VCF standard while I am away.

Jenn said...

What? You're not sending him off with "Fran"?! Well, this one looks just as rough!

And thank you, Natalie for the kind words. See you tomorrow!

Oh boy this looks killer! We have to name it though if it's James workout. What's a cool name we can give it to represent that it is his work out. Any ideas?? Just for fun. :)

Jenn said...

No! Mandy!! We can't name it after James! That's bad luck!! I made him promise me he wouldn't get over there and try to have a wod named after him... :(

Mandy :) said...

oh man, that is true! I never thought of that. Sorry!

So I was watching channel 2 news this morning and they were talking about crossfit and the upcomming sectionals. I thought it was cool because Jason was just talking about how if crossfit would just get more recognition and get out there because so many people have not been introduced to it. So I was excited to see it get more publicity.

Speaking of sectionals, do we have anyone from our gym going? I would love to go and watch, as well as cheer on our members!!

Hey Will,

Can you please make sure you have the "pukie bucket" ready to go at the 4:00pm WOD? I wasn't able to do the WOD this morning, so I will have to do it at 4:00pm. The problem is, I went to Tucano's for a lunch party and I could be having some serious issues during this WOD.

I apologize in advance to anyone that maybe at the 4:00pm class for what could possibly happen during the WOD.

Wow, Wade...
Talk about an incentive to show up at 4!
Dinner "and" a show? I'm in...

Natalie said...

Hahahahaha....where is our pukie wall when you need it? You know we used to have people sign the wall if they puked at the gym. :0 Yah, the old box was pretty hard core. Good times.

Erick is competing at the sectionals this weekend...anyone who can make it please go. He could use some support from Viking! Erick, you're going to do great!

Wade I had a couple of buckets ready but I'm guessing Tucano's must have given you more trouble than you anticipated.
Great job to everybody at the 4,5, and 6 pm WODS. When it came to the last set of a round I told everybody I wanted them to beat their previous best set rep count by at least one. I got alot of "you're not only crazy but an idiot Will!" looks but everybody met the goal I put out there, with alot of you exceeding it by 3-4 reps. Pretty inspiring to watch people who are obviously hurting dig deep and exceed expectations.
James, good luck out there, be safe and Mandy and I will get your address from Jenn. Let us know what you need in your packages.
Last but definitely not least, Jenn, I refuse to stand by you if you are going to keep throwing Ketttlebells at me! ;)

Hey Will,

I want to come but work kept me late and I had just enough time to get home and take my amazing and gorgeous wife out to dinner for our anniversary.

Next time though.

Wade
