HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RAFI!

From Jai, who is all blinged out, CF-style, and who has signed up to participate in the FGB6 Fundraiser at CFNYC again this year: “Fight Gone Bad last year demolished me . . . in a good way. The usual camaraderie of the gym is magnified by having a good cause to fight for. Last year my goal was just to get over 200 reps and raise more than $150, both of which I exceeded. This year I want to do everything RX’d and would love to “win” a hoodie [i.e., raise at least $500]. I am excited about everything except wall balls. Hate the wall balls.”

If you haven’t signed up for FGB6 as part of Team CrossFit NYC, it’s not too late. Remember, you don’t have to be a great athlete OR a great fundraiser. We’ll offer several scaling options on the WOD and there is no minimum amount of money to raise. So please consider signing up or if you cannot participate, consider donating to one of our athletes. If you’d like to donate to Jai, here’s her donation page.

    Hi, I’m writing to the AM crowd that I never get to see. I’m the Operations Manager, and one of my jobs is to get our computer files in order. I need your help. Yesterday (Thursday) evening I compared the names on the White Board to the names of the people who signed in, and I found that more than half of you did not (or could not) log in at the Front Desk. Below are the names on the White Board that were not logged in. If you are having a problem, please email me at Kristina at CrossFitNYC dot com.

    6:15: Jeff, Paul, Steph, Seth, Tony, John, Peter, Alex
    7:00: Manny, Dougie, Benji, Bri, Joanna, Reis, Chris H, Matt, Chadron
    8:00: Cedric, McKensey, Sulley, Sara
    10:00: Tim, Alex, Bri, Craig P
    12:30: Peter, Jeff, Akil, Jer, Chad
    3:00: Christine

    If you have discussed this with anyone else, please do me the favor of letting me know what you have figured out.

    Thanks, Kristina

    • Stephanie

      kristina, yesterday morning when i got in (~6am) the computer was not *logged into*, it asked for the password to log in. couldn’t sign in = didn’t sign in, and then i just completely forgot all about it. possible to just post the password by the computer?

    • andy g

      dido to Stephanie, sometimes the computer is not logged into. I sign into the book if that is the case and I don’t see my name on the list so I assume that’s okay.

    • keller

      can’t trust the morning people… they are too happy

  • Lisa

    Looking good, Jai!

  • John

    anybody putting together a viewing party for the games this weekend. let me know. t’anks.

  • andy g

    22:01 7reps ea. and somewhere around the 7th or 8th round I had to switch to dips at the GHD. Last night for my 5/3/1 weight lifting I PR’d bench 190 and DL 350. To those who say us 6:15ers are too “chipper” for so early, what can I say 6:15 ROCKS.

      A: hey Reis, so what do you back squat

      Come back to the 6:15 Michael. Good to workout with you, plus Sara said you have better front squat form then I do-got to teach me that!!!

  • Jai

    Whoever donates the most to my fundraising efforts for Fight Gone Bad by 9pm Sunday (New York time) can use me as the weight for a weighted pull-up…

    https://fgb6.rapidgiving.com/frp/fundraise.aspx?pk=Z50PK62

    (I’m usually about 114 pounds, if that affects your decision. I’m also open to being the weight for a Turkish Get-up. And I’m open to other suggestions.)

    • mike r

      Wallball?

  • Jai

    You know what, that would be hilarious. I’d hate being thrown but I’d love watching a video of me being thrown….

    • Jai

      I should also say, if you want to contribute but are skeered of the idea of trying to do a pull up with me hanging off you, you can nominate a champion in your stead.

      After that, piggyback jousting with the PVD pipes.

      • Jai

        *PVC

  • Madeleine

    A: 135-140-145-150(PR)

    B: scaled down to 7 reps, banded pullups, parallette dips and pushups off the box – 11:55

  • Hari

    Has anyone gotten anything on any of the feeds for the Games? All I get is “Player Loading” on every single feed.

  • Avery

    Hari-

    The swim event was on but the feed is terrible. It loops every few seconds and was almost unwatchable. After about 15 minutes I gave up.

    Team events are on but there is no sound.

    I’m hoping the ESPN3 coverage is better. Seriously hope they get this fixed before the end of the competition – super annoying.

  • Brett_nyc

    worked like a charm on my iphone.

  • Hari

    I got it working on my Ipad. (Jacinto is on at 2:00 PM EST)

  • Hari

    Jacinto: 8:53

    (I believe that every single person that beat him is at least 10 years younger!)

    • andy g

      What place did he come in?

      • Hari

        Seventh

  • Hari

    He beat people in the 55 to 59 catagory (who were using the same weight)!

    • andy g

      at work so I can’t tune in but any details are good to hear, thanks!!!! So they had all masters compete together?

    The Tens: 32:07 – Everything RX’ed but 5 Ring-Dips instead of 10 per Round.

  • Eric

    Great job Jacinto! Such an inspiration.

  • kevin p

  • Sara

    32:41 gp rx’d

    was great to do the WOD with you Sara, and thanks for encouraging my friend Mark
