Yesterday we had a Tabata mash on the board. Things overheard in the WOD Classes-"This is the closest I've come to puking.", "We still have another round-ARE YOU KIDDING ME!". "I love these types of workouts." Great job by all of the members including White Lightning, JMD, Fergeytastic, The Truth, The Jackel, JIT, Jed-**** the Predator, Banana and Pickle Licker.

Also, A BIG CONGRATULATIONS to Jodi H. for placing second at the Oakland County Crossfit event. She placed second among approximately 24 other women and finished behind Ann Arbor's Julie Foucher. Julie came in fifth place in last year's Crossfit Games.



15 Great Things CrossFit has Taught Lisbeth Darsh, owner and founder of CrossFit Watertown. Lisbeth also has the great opportunity to work with CFHQ. I hope you enjoy these 15 things like we did!
1. If I think it’s heavy, it will feel heavy.
2. If I complain, no one wants to stand near me . . . except other complainers.
3. Finishing last is okay sometimes.
4. Finishing first feels great . . . if a bit lonely.
5. Mom was right: Stand up straight.
6. Shakespeare was right: The empty vessels make the loudest noise.
7. Keep quiet and pay attention and you’ll learn a lot.
8. Nothing feels better than that first big breath of air after you’ve deprived yourself of oxygen.
9. “Power” doesn’t mean it has an external motor.
10. “Squat” means a LOT more than the phrase “doesn’t mean squat.”
11. If someone near you yells “Oh sh**!”, jump to the side. Really, really fast.
12. What goes up does come down. Even if it only goes halfway up. And that’s usually worse.
13. If you’re going to do something, you might as well do it right.
14. Cheaters think they win. But everybody knows the truth.
15. What you put into life, you get out of life. So don’t quit. And don’t stop. Drive onward, always onward.
