Holy hell could it be any hotter. 95 stagnant degrees, no air, the perfect way to sweat. I train clients in the morning and I'm drenched. I train myself at noon and I'm drenched. I train more clients at night and I'm drenched. Three showers and a load of laundry daily. That is what Crossfit is all about!
So there is the new kid on the playground. His name is Andy. He is 0% body fat. A marine. Married with a beautiful wife and daughter who gives me hugs every day (the daughter, not the wife), has that perfect smile...and completely destroys my times in the gym. I would be so jealous, so pissed, so annoyed, if it weren't for the fact that he is probably one of the most genuine people I have ever met. You could say that he's my man crush but Grant Wistrom already fills that category and I'm only allowed one to avoid any homosexual connotations. I tried to find a bad picture of Andy to bring him back down to a competitive level with me.
The other night we went to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch Chuck Liddell get put to sleep. While we were there, all the cute little BWW waitresses were whispering and giggling while pointing at Andy. Then one told him how cute he was. About thirty minutes later, two waitresses that resembled Peter and Chris from Family Guy dressed in wigs came up and this time tapped on my shoulder. Apparently they thought I was cute. I wasnt even flattered and all Andy could do was laugh at me as they walked away. Andy beat my "Bareknuckle" time by almost a minute and he had a 10 burpee penalty. He dominated our scrimmage workout. Josh Nimmo got 11:43 and I got 11:45. Andy...10:05. It is great to have such a competitor to train with. We can only go one direction, and that's up. Sectionals 2011 should see Crossfit Springfield bring at least six or seven to regionals.
Today's workout:
Did a strength workout of Clean and Jerk practice with Melissa at 8am. Then went back at noon for:
Row 2000m
50 wall balls 20#
Row 1000m
35 wall balls
Row 500
20 wall balls.
Didnt time it b/c didnt work the stopwatch right. But based on the group clock, probably between 15-18 min.
