I am sure all of you woke this morning, wondering about the WoD. Brew your coffee. Turned on the computer. Praying that there would be no pullups. Or no run! Or perhaps no squats. As the smell of fresh brewed coffee filled your nostrils. You open the CrossFit main page. Fingers crossed! And "Bam" 5x3 front squats! You pour your coffee. Take that first sip. Mutter to yourself " that ain't to bad. I can ease through this. Barely break a sweat." Take another sip of coffee and go about your business.
Then 4:30 rolls around. You stroll into the gym. Confident this is going to be a "cake walk". Begin your warm-up. Do several air squats to loosen up. Then like a thunderous crash! The dreaded 5 letter word rattled in your skull. "Murph" Your heart rate jumped 20 points just at the mention of it. As you hear 3-2-1 GO! You realize there is no turning back. And like a true CrossFitter you attack " Murph"!
Great job tonight guys. You all pushed hard and gave it your all. A lesson we should all learn. Expect the unexpected. That is what CrossFit is all about. Preparing for the unknown! Tomorrow we will do "Death by Burpee". Just kidding! Or am I?
Good luck Anders, keep kickin ass in X Fit- even if the new crews you train with aren't as"colorful" as us! Stop by whenever you're passing thru.
All the best!

Today is my last day at crossfit KMSF. Nice working out with all of you over the last couple months. I am sure we will run into each other again somewhere.
Kat, CIP...thanks for having me.
