Hammer time! Mark and Don with WOD#2 extra credit after the deadlift WOD:

Everyone rocked the deadlifts today! Great weather = great opportunity to get some heavy weights outside. Moving all the classes out to the fresh air and mountain view is fun for us and also motivating with a backdrop that simply can't be beat when the skies are clear. Plus training in the elements is part of constantly varied, getting ready for the unknown and unknowable or "training as you fight". Is it fun for you when we all go outside? Post thoughts to comments.

Notes:

We want to thank every one of you who came to the lululemon Trunk Show as well as all who brought food and drink. We hope all of you had a really good time and opportunity to get together with the ladies! Special note of thanks to Bonnie for the highly creative and cool WOD Wine Label. If you haven't seen it, check out the bottle in the gym or in the Flickr photo album. It says: "WOD Wine: AMRAP - 20 Awesome CF Chicks, 1 Killer SRCF Box, 1 lululemon Junk for Your Trunk Show".

The Nutrition Discussion with Todd Widman is next Friday at 6:30pm and then next Saturday we kick off the Paleo Challenge. Cost is $10 and so far we have 22 people confirmed as coming so if you have not confirmed either by posting to comments, emailing, or on the Facebook event let us know. There are several of you who we haven't heard from. You better have a good excuse or I am going to drive to each of your houses and drag you back to the box!

Food for thought:

Wanted to finish with some really cool pictures of some strong ladies!

I must have messed-up my counting on our second WOD yesterday. Put me down for a 4+ instead of 5+. Pat had a round on me. I guess I should have brought my hand counter! I apologize.

Does anyone else have a hard time keeping track of their time/ score during a WOD? Maybe we can find a way to help each other keep track. While I am all for personal accountability, when possible I don't want to inadvertently misrepresent results or cheat myself from a full WOD.

I totally get what you are staying Curtis. Esp once I am tired I really have to focus. The other night when we did the jumping lunges, we just had to callout our rounds, and thank goodness cause by the end I had NO idea how many I had done. I have read that its good to do mental workouts while you do physical workout. I used to scuba with a guy that would do long division when he would run. Maybe its just something we need to work on. :)

As most of you know, I'm mathematically challenged and WODs can just be a blur at times, so I often end up doubting myself and my score afterwards. There must be a gadget out there for WOD counting!!

Wow there just happens to be this neat little gadget out there called a counter. AND Curtis happens to own one. How do I know this? I bought it for his birthday after the last time this happened. :) Curtis thanks for the honesty. You now need to attach the counter to your shorts!

Jim I would love to figure out how to do the mountains to sound relay if we have enough to do the legs. I volunteer for the mtn biking. Or Zach.
