IMPORTANT RULE UPDATE

First of all...nice job by Mary and Kehau to get the challenge off to a running start. However, there are going to be a few rule updates/modifications. While it is very interesting and entertaining to read what is going on through Kehau's head, the whole purpose of this little challenge was to start a dialogue amongst are members and readers. Therefore, from this point on the following rules are added:

1. No more stream of consciousness posts will be allowed.
2. Each post by an individual must be related to or responding to something previously said by another individual or must be starting a new topic.
3. Consecutive posts by an individual will not be counted. Your posts must be seperated by another person's post.

Yes we know...we should have been clearer on these rules from the beginning. But we are using our coaching authority to stop the slop just like we do with your technique during the WOD. Also, to clarify...the 50 burpees was only if NO ONE posted any responses. It is obvious now that people have posted so you all are safe from the 50 burpees. However, the 25 burpees is still on the line. On official review the post count is at 27 as Mary's first post, Lori's first 2 posts and one of our responses all dealt with questions about the rules and thus by the rules don't count toward the total.

Game on again!

Let's Talk About.....

Several things set the elite CrossFit affiliates apart from the rest. One is great programming. Another is a great sense of community. While we are working on developing the great programming part, all of us can contribute to creating a fun, supportive, and tight community. The goal is to have a community where we can push and support each other in training, and have fun both in and out of the gym. One of the best ways to create this community and get to know each other better is to start DIALOGUE! You all check the blog to get the WOD everyday, but yet we get very few comments. We want dialogue people!

So on that note, this was posted at CrossFit Oakland recently. I think it is a fun idea to get us using the comments to start an ongoing dialogue. So here are the rules:

1. If you stay silent over the next 24 hours and this post ends up with 0 (zero) comments, you'll be doing 50 burpees during your group class warm-up on Wednesday, October 21.
2. If at the end of 24 hours, this post has 50 or more comments, your coaches will do 25 burpees at the 6pm class on Wednesday, October 21.
3. If you fall even 1 comment short of 50 (49 or less), you'll do 25 burpees during your group class warm-up on Wednesday, October 21.
4. For a comment to count, it must be at least two sentences long.
5. Each sentence must contain at least two words.
6. Each sentence must contain at least one noun and one verb.
7. Duplicate comments will not count toward the total comment count.
8. Duplicate sentences will not count.
9. Questions about the rules, and any follow-up answers, will not count toward the total comment count.
10. The 24-hour period will expire at 11pm Hawaii time on Tuesday, October 20.

Game on!

50-40-30-20-10 of:
Double-unders
Sit-ups

Sorry guys, but there will be no single unders as a substitute for double-unders. Multiple single-unders in no way compensate for the exertion required for double-undersIf you can't do double unders you will do TUCK JUMPS:


Stand with your feet slightly inside the width of your shoulders. Bend your knees and lower your body down 8-12 inches. Explode into the air and bring your knees up to your chest in a tucked position. Upon landing, your feet should be in a strong, dorsi flexed or "toes up" position. Use your whole foot to generate power, not just your toes! Maintain good posture in your upper body. Keep your chest and head up. Don't let your shoulders lean out beyond your knees. This can stress your lower back. Explode off the ground as quickly as possible and repeat for the required number of repetitions.
