Today was a great turnout for the “Hope” workout. This WOD is also a fundraiser where 100% of your donation goes toward the fight against catastrophic children’s illnesses which benefits St. Jude Children’s Hospital.

Can I still donate?

  • Yes! You can donate here to help raise funds for St. Jude’s. Every dollar goes to them and this hospital cares for terminally and severely ill children using these funds so that families pay nothing.

Too many S’mores for me last night! Definite sugar hangover today. Hope everyone had a safe and fun time celebrating ‘Merica!

Quote of the day: “Oh I hook grip EVERYTHING.” ~ Lindsay (Note: Dustin looked very happy when she said this)

Hope For Cures workout is tomorrow! Come to either the 0930 or 1030 time. If you want to donate you can donate here to this profile I created for SRCF.

Products:

Do you have Bakballs? If not maybe you want to get a pair. You could also tape a couple balls you have laying around together and save some money. Yes this product is real.

Review: Bakballs

Some of my favorite quotes from this review:

  • “One of the best features of Bakballs is that you can use it while in bed!”
  • “And most of the people I used to test the Bakballs on found this size worked fine. Although there were several who found the ball itself was either a little too big or small, meaning they were simply unable to get the advertised benefit.”

Today’s picture (by Alison) is of Rob hitting double unders on Cannon Beach at the home of the Goonies.  It also happens to be the picture of the day on CrossFit.com.  No surprise, it’s an awesome picture. Well done Rob and Alison!

Just two numbers to remember today. No mid-WOD math required. 5’s then 9’s. After today the squats should take care of any residual soreness from Monday’s overhead squat-fest. The 9’s were just an effective gasser.

Here’s a good interview with one of my favorite Games athletes. Graham Holmberg In 2013

Attention CrossFit Dads and Daughters:

This Sunday on Father’s Day, June 16th join me and Ashley as we lead a WOD in Bellevue for ivivva athletica clothing. We will be meeting at the store in Bellevue between 9:45 and 10am and then kick things off around 10am. If it’s sunny we will all walk over to Bellevue Downtown Park for the bodyweight workout. It’s free and will be fun!

A workout like today’s makes for both a mental challenge and an ass kicking. The challenge of a big rep scheme leaves you with nowhere to catch your breath or recover on a different movement, and only the decision to stand there and rest. More time to think about all those overhead squats and shaky legs. It would be interesting to see today’s times compared to this same amount of work but with 5 rounds of 30, 20, and 10 each.
