Yesterday was so much fun! It was so nice to be finished with the Open and get a chance to relax and enjoy each others company. We really have some cool ass people in this box. Congratulations to everyone who did the Open. Definitely an accomplishment no matter how you started or finished.
But what's really cool is watching some of our athletes pull off some really crazy tricks like doing muscle-ups while riding a unicycle or walking and balancing on a tire. So maybe there were a few cocktails involved but who cares? That shit is cool! I'm blaming CrossFit for giving us all this strength and creativity that we don't know what to do with.
Thanks for all the meat and beer and for everyone who contributed some food yesterday. These events are what make our place really unique. This community we have going on here is something to talk about.

Open completed + Awesome BBQ + Bin Laden dead = THe best American weekend ever.
Excellent times yesterday – AMRAP keg stands were the best.

Anyone else have a bruise on your chest from hitting the pull up bar on chest to bars? Not complaining, just trying to figure out how to show off that bruise showing that I can get that much thrust up that high on a pull up bar.
Harlan Karnofsky
Mike, the only thing I have bruised is my ego. Not from sucking at chest to bars, but from getting my ass kicked in leg wrestling by Sarah. But I’m not alone
brother mike
Harlan, I missed that part of the party- are we talking real leg wrestling or is that some kind of euphamism?

Derek called it: Pure Epicness at the BBQ.
Soooooo good to lift heavy shit again this morning without having to worry about how sore it is going to make us.

I don’t have a bruise on my chest but if I did, it would be more likely from using my boob (yes singular) on the bar muscle up. That was some fun SHT!

Brother Mike- How is that hand???
For those of you that missed it. Brother mike got his first chest to bar yesterday for WOD 11.6. Then he went on to score 66 and rip the hell out of both of his hands. Awesome job Mike!
I know when he walked in to the gym a few months ago that Justin and Trav could not have imagined him doing C2B pull ups. Now look at him.
Sabrina
Great job, Bro Mike! You’re improving every week and it’s been fun to watch. Torn hands are temporary; glory is forever! Everyone who achieved new personal bests in the Games WODs deserves a hearty round of self-congratulation!

Such EPICNESS!!! These pictures say it all…I am so happy to have found such an awesome box with such amazing athletes and wonderful people. You folks ROCK!!!!

Brother Mike, we are talking REAL TRUE TO LIFE leg wrestling. And Sarah Walsh, my friend, is a BEAST at it.

Sorry we missed the epic BBQ, but I have a funny feeling there is another one in our future. I’ve learned a lot over these past six weeks, but one thing I knew already–CFES is the bestest.

Prowler the car = beastly ugly.
Prowler (aka the torture instrument) = ugly and beat me
