Results
Buck Furpees! Jorge wears his thoughts on his chest:
Question: What do these burpees have in common? Answer: Good form! Open hips, clap overhead, and a jump. Simply awesome. This WOD is from the 2008 CF Games and one we last did back in December. Fast and furious, this WOD packs a punch in a very short amount of time.
Congrats to Rona for achieving another PR. That would be her 100th WOD!
Welcome to the Gun Show:
Tonight after the WOD I was talking with Rona about her milestone and she brought up her list of goals she has kept in her log since she joined. She has methodically been checking each one off a long list for over six months now. They have ranged from fun to really hard. And there are still some left. Regardless of difficulty, they are important. They are individual, they are motivating and they are fuel. As each one disappears, it brings a large sense of accomplishment, and is accompanied with results. It is also addictive and leads to more goals. Without goals we become stale, stagnant or at best complacent. Without goals we get bored and plateau. Worst case we get sidetracked and slip backwards against the progress we have made. This short talk left me feeling not only stoked for her and what she wants to accomplish, but also renewed and inspired me to reset my own list of goals and get started on them. So how about the rest of you? Pick a goal, write it down, cross it off and move onto another. I personally can’t wait to see how many more of you hit 100 WOD’s and then move onto 200!

In CrossFit there are beasts; there are not however many Rob Orlando‘s. Watch intensity defined at the Northeast Regionals last weekend (Rob took 1st overall and 1st place in 3 out of 4 WOD’s):
