Happy Birthday Mum!! 
DOMINANT!
I had the previledge of watching Benji water ski yesterday afternoon at Birkenhead wharf.
After a slowish start and getting boxed out he smoked the entire field and proceeded to lap his competitors – Bloody impressive Benji! Good Luck for the rest of the season mate.
Good on you Benji!
Loved the WOD this morning, felt like a long slog more than an all out assualt, but it still a keeper.
I have become very suspicious of WOD’s where the coach yells out “…use the burpees for recovery…” I realised there are a number of these little gems in a sport where calling “TIME” has a totally differnt meaning to most other sports. I would like to see if we can’t make up a list of the top 10 things you don’t want to hear in a WOD ( in the vain of the Tonight Show’s top 10 lists).
So to help with this perhaps you can list your top 3 favourites on this BLOG and we can see what we come up with…
I’d like to have some fun with this, please keep it in the spirit of Crossfit, no put downs…
Here’s my contribution:
1. “…whatever you do – DO NOT PUT THE BAR DOWN…”
2. “… You can rest when the WOD is over…”
3. “…if you need to catch your breath, don’t!”

Eric, Sounds great will give this some thought (brain is not functioning well right now)…
Great list Eric – v. funny and so true
7 rounds 24
25k bar / 6k db
7 rounds 31 reps
50KG bar
12.5 KG DB
5 Rounds 17 reps RxD
Pukie was knocking…
I don’t know what you mean Eric, there is nothing that I don’t want to hear… Apart from ‘No Rep’ ‘MISS’ and ‘Jester did you lock it out?!’ haha!
oops I meant 6 rounds 17 reps!
That WoD is a keeper.
40 kg on bar /12.5 kg on DB – 7 rounds 12 reps
I am going to have to go with Jester on the Don’t Want to Hear Items… “That last one didn’t count” (after you have put the bar down) would be tops on my list I think.
I ditto Erics 3, and Definately with Jester on that… any version of
“No Rep”
“Miss”
“Nope”
“That last rep didn’t count”… especially when they say “the last rep”specifically
“There were 3 no reps in there”
AND, I especially want to kick the coach in the nuts who said “Her heel was off the platform, thats a no rep… cause when every rep counts – he was walking on dangerous turf!
…and on that note… love your Coaches. Thanks Shawn for telling me I get to go to Coach Heaven this morning for not adding more running to the XLR8 WOD.
Thanks Shawn X
I must admit, my ego sometimes kinda hates hearing people call “Time!”, when I still have a whole round of something wall-ball-ish to go…
