CrossFit Endurance Rest Day (06.22.2009)

Stable News:
I think it's strange how sometimes tiny or seemingly insignificant things can bring about such a great deal of satisfaction. The picture to the left epitomized this phenomenon for me today, the image is of a simple slide-lettered directory sign outside our mill building's entrance. I literally just kind of glared at the sign for about 10 minutes, puzzled by this strange feeling of pleasure. The whole big picture kind of tumbled together and I can't help but laugh thinking of how crazy we look, sound, and appear in our combined efforts to train and create a better Stable.

Thank you to our crew for providing us with all the motivation we could ever need when deciding to move from the Garage to a fully equipped world class training facility. CrossFit New Hampshire continues to live and die by the success of our athletes and we wouldn't have it any other way.
I know it sounds all sentimental around here but you need to understand that today's little sign discovery cut through some serious mental fatigue that we seem to have accumulated the last week or so from the madness that has become our "concrete floor project".
Curious as to why? The image of me in the gas-mask pretty much tells you everything you need to know. I was wearing the gas mask because the room was actually filled with noxious fumes from this crazy muriatic acid (we used it to break up the concrete sealant).

Actually, that image is from the SECOND night we spent in there working on our alchemy skill sets.

It really doesn't matter how long it takes because by the time sweat starts hitting the floor it will have been worth the extra effort. The last big hurdle are the remainder of our stall mat order, forcasted for delivery on Tuesday. Now you know why we are so feverish about working night and day in there... I want to say more but these whiskered lips will remain sealed until it's officially time for our first "3-2-1, Go!"

Tastes like victory.

Bert's CrossFit Pilgrimage:

On a slightly sadder note Bertholemeu will be leaving us for a short time and his crazy performances and near death experiences during WODs will be sorely missed. It's not all bad for Bert, he's getting an awesome opportunity to work out in Wyoming and train at a local CrossFit Affiliate out there.

Bert: Good luck, have fun, and slay everyone. See you in a month.
