    It is beyond me to figure out what is going on with the team rankings on the Games Site.

    “CrossFit can be done anywhere, including the comfort of one’s home. If you’re training for Ari’s 2p kb trick and you don’t have a kb at home, just grab whatever’s around.”

    Looks like Azure made the 48″ box jump and stuck the landing perfectly.

  • Jai

    “Baby Popeye says, eat your spinach!”

    Or, if you’re a Henson fan: “Dance, Magic Dance, Magic Dance… You remind me of the babe… (what babe?) The babe with the power… (what power?) The power of voodoo… (who do?) You do… (do what?) You remind me of the babe…”

      Nice ‘Labyrinth’ reference, Jai!

        NERDS!!!!

        • Lisa

          Crossfit Nerds though, not to be trifled with!

            We’re likely to kick the sand right back in your face. :)

  • Jai

    One more: Clearly no kettlebell dysfunction here.

  • Lisa

    It was a treat to see Azure in person at the gym today!

    Did WOD in 10:57, using 133# DL, 33# OHS.

    I’m coming back for 2 weeks in may!! can’t wait to be back at my old box for a while..tho I will admit, I’ve been spoiled with the luxury of dropping weights. ;)

    Craig..ever heard the old Duke Ellington tune Azure?? It’s absolutely beautiful.

    open wod, attempt #2
    5 rounds + 20 DUs = 245

    29 rep improvement over attempt #1
    4 rounds + 30 DUs + 6 snatches = 216

    -spent more time warming up DUs
    -slowed down cadence of DUs
    -did not over-pace my snatches like last time, and went with longer subsets
    -no C&Js

    -ladies bar
    -Hi-Temp plates because I wasn’t expecting to drop as much as I did. If I were to do this again, it would be with the Wright Rubber plates for less bounce.

    Thanks to Matt for judging and bar wrangling!

    Is CrossFit NYC the number 1 team in the Northeast. Probably not, but consider this: The Games Site currently shows CrossFit 321 as number 1 in the Northeast. A casual glance at their performances shows that the sum of their three best male and female rankings is over 1000. At the same time, the sum of CrossFit NYC’s three best male and female rankings is under 600.

    Of course, their team figured out how to designate a captain. I have not been that clever. (Neither has CrossFit New England, last year’s first place team in the region, also currently unranked.)
