Why not...looks like a good death. I bet K-Pop will do it! I'll pull up the rear/be the caboose :)

sert11 said...

K-pop was recruiting last night, looks like fun but not that much fun, I don't want to get stuck in the wires

sert11 said...

um, just checked my e-mails, looks like ACERT is trying to get a team together for that run. Still don't want to get stuck in the wires.

Michelle "Slick #88" said...

E, after you get out of the wires, please send someone to make sure I come up from under the logs. Kinda scared of that one...

K-Swat said...

Oh suck it up E. Come on, you get to run through fire. I'll probably sign up soon. I'll put a team name as crossfit otg, so anyone interested can just sign up under that name. You all better do it, the last one was a blast.

Oh Mark... so we doing this thing, ya know tryouts for the games. It's starting to creep up:) Just thought I'd ask, that's all.

sert11 said...

yea Mark wtf is going on with this, were going to miss out waiting for u!
your right K-pop, so will I, you only live once

Chris "Digger" or "Diggs" said...

So what was going to be the WOD today? I would like to try and do something at home today.

Thanks.

sert11 said...

it was call of duty, as many head shots as possible!
For Joey O it was FRSQ

Joe O said...

FRSQ will be done after the break, today is an all day Call of Duty and sledding day, oh to be young

sert11 said...

and unemployeed

Atlee said...

I'm in for the run. Maybe W'town vs. EHT?

Doug said...

Yo that muddler run looks awesome! Plus Dogfishhead! Wow. I am seriously considering sighing up. Is it about 2.5 hours away?

Higher Order Living said...

Atlee - it's always an us against them w/ you...lol - Bring it to a larger scale and make it a CrossFit Off The Grid/OTG against EVERYONE else (globo-gym minded ppl)!

Chris
Back Levers
and
6 Rds
10 DL 225/135lb
25 Sit Ups
Have fun subbing for this...I already told you what to do!!

I think we might lose some athletes to the Broad Street Run in Phila being held the same day - although I think this is more 'CrossFit-esque' and waaay more mentally/physically challenging.

Joey O - everyday is a FRSQ day...haha

Steve - of all the quotes to pull...lol - well done last night!

Affiliate Cup is in Rags' hands...

Joe O said...

Affiliate cup in mark's hands....means one of us have to sign us up and then tell mark, thats how its getting done lol

sert11 said...

So this also means that someone has to hold the try outs since Mark has been sleeping on it.

K-Swat said...

Come on Mark, give us a date. You owe me:) You know you could be wearing a little orange jump suit right now sharing a room with bubba. haha just kidding... it's just too easy.

sert11 said...

we would have to put him in PC, he's too pretty for population!

Mark said...

Wow, really feeling the love today!

We are registered for both facilities...I assume we're on the waiting list, not sure how that's going to work...and each team member needs to register...the problem is we have no team members yet...

I'm really not sure how I'm going to work this...I'll try to come up with a way that's fair for all who wish to try out (the only part that may not seem fair is I'm on the team already!). We'll have a sign up sheet and shoot for some type of tryout by the end of this month to 1st week in March. This shouldn't interfere with individual competitors for the Sectionals. And it will give us almost 3 solid months to prepare for Albany.

Maybe we can start on the blog right now to see who's interested?

And keep in mind WHEN we qualify, that means we're traveling to Cali...so factor those type of expenses into your mind before committing to this. We will try to cover as much we can (hopefully some sponsors?) or maybe we can have some type of fundraiser?? Just throwing ideas out there.

Kyle Glendon Spears said...

any way to post pics on the blog? I'm driving around today, I'm covered in white like a powdered donut

Mark said...

And also, everyone is going to have an opinion on how we should do this. While I appreciate everyone's feedback, we reserve the right to run this how we want, pick team members how we want, etc...I'm not interested in how other affiliates picked their teams, or how you may have done it differently, etc...this may sound a little harsh, but it is what it is...

More info to follow soon! Enjoy the snow!

sert11 said...

really donut, couldn't find anything better to compare yourself to.

Pretty boy, I'm in... book my flight.

Atlee said...

Who's doing the tough mudder? I'm definitely in! Who designed that course, Nick? It's right out of the DiMatteo programming book. Wonderfully terrible.

Mark said...

I'm in for the Mudder! The Mud Run K-Pop, Sugar, Justin, ArrowUp Malecki, and myself did at Maguire was AWESOME! And this sounds like even more fun!

My only request is to put a little more effort into what we're wearing...

Higher Order Living said...

In for the fire/ice/swim/jump/crawl/run/swing/etc while cold, wet, dirty, tired, and smiling w/ friends/family!

All of the 'stations' should make the 7 miles palatable...not used to running more than 400m at a time!! I agree - lets get some interesting outfits/shirts...

K-Swat said...

Did you check out the guy in the hot green ball sack holder outfit on the site. haha You boys don't have the guts.

Can't wait for tryouts, I'm in.

Joe O said...

Sugar....last week I believe you said something along the lines of "I'd rather eat a cheesesteak than crawl through tires and get cuts"....in for the tough mudder now?! Lets do it!!

sert11 said...

if Nick's in, sign me up

Chris "Digger" or "Diggs" said...

No mudder for me ... already committed to the Broad Street Run that same day. Good luck to all who do decide to participate !!!

Steve C said...

Count me in.

Chris "Digger" or "Diggs" said...

Perfect day to be working on editing the Throwdown videos, "Sugar" !!!

Breeze said...

Would like to join in on the Mudder run but I will either be in Turks and Caicos or Michigan that weekend!
Don't ask!

Higher Order Living said...

Chris - Don't have the video!! It's at Mark's...

Pon said...

I'm in for the "Tough Mudder" and the try outs for the Affiliate Cup...no doubt!

said...

I was looking forward to the upcoming OTG 3 day WOD event, but rumor has it that it wont be held until after I leave so I'm definitly in for the "Tough Mudder." Cant wait to watch these affiliate cup tryouts either.

brett said...

count me in for the mudder.
I will carry eric on my back just to make it fair...

Doug said...

I'm in for the mudder. Looks like a hell of a good time.

Chris "Digger" or "Diggs" said...

Just did the actual WOD originally planned for today. Only did 205 lb deadlifts (all the weights my neighbor had) ... WOD - 13:49
