I just looked at the team for CrossFit OTG and we have four with no score posted..

Paul Demarco
Steve Pecora
Tony Merendino
Shane Conesky

I am pretty sure I validated your scores, but they are not showing...the first 3 are showing of 0...maybe because they haven't figured Master's out yet? Shane, I'm not sure what's up...HQ said they would take care of any issues, so please look into it and let us know...

Thanks Gang! Let's have a good week and crush the 2nd wod on Saturday!

JP said...

STOKED that week 2 is FINALLY here!!!! Looking forward to the WOD being posted soon. Let's kill it OTG!!!

Great video's today... Froning and Bergeron are beasts... btw, is she Rx'ing it with 135? If so, she's more beast than Froning!!!
Oh, and that dude should start the video by saying, "The goal throughout these backward roll demo's is for my hair to NOT move at all!!!" He would get an EPIC WIN.

PaddyMcD said...

Nice one today, I hesitantly did the FB w/95, 7:32, not as bad as i anticipated; the burps remain my wind killers, great job all this am, & welcome back Theresa!!

Nipur said...

Good to see Bambi back at the gym.

Great Job Shane doing it Rx'd.

Stepheey, now matter what Bambi says, I think your new braces look great.

Did FB with 95 lbs. 6:01
could have gone heavier but having some knee issues.

Stepheey said...

Aww thanks Nipur haha : )

Ditto
GREAT having Bambi back today!!!
and awesome job to Shane! Love the little kneeling down breaks.

FB was debating between 85 and 75 but I figured 75 would be quicker since Justin said the first set should be unbroken.. did 75 at 6:14

WOD: Rx'd 8:02. I need to work on my form with this movement...felt like I was a mess today.
Great Job 930!! And thank you Patrick!!

STR8 SALLY said...

9:30 Sesh Kicked ass AGAIN.. Awesome class. Justin, great job runnin it. As usual bro.

Thank you guys for the push in the end. I needed it big time. I was struggling. Bambi, Im just catching my breath.
Thanks Nipur.But I think this is more of a speed workout than a muscle workout. That weight got heavy for me. You made a good choice with the weight.
WOD FB
Rx'd 8:53. Got real heavy the second set. Slowed me down. Burps.... Well they just suck.!

Awe Stepheey, I think you look fantastic in your braces!! Your Blingin!!

Michelle "Slick #88" said...

Awesome job, lunch crew! Justin, thanks for the stellar gymnastics help and MU work after the WOD!

FB: 6:13, 85lbs
Kept same weight as last time.

Kristi, Justin's got you on to somethin' with those MUs girl!!! Lookin' good!

Welcome home, Bambi :)

Incident said...

I think that Steph's braces are made for her! And Nipur was being his (usual) sarcastic, "funny" self with his comment...of course I think that Steph looks great w/ her new grill! And your pull ups are awesome Steph! Practice has paid off.

Shane-great job going Rx today. I'm a believer in your down on one knee technique. I'm going to use it!

SO GREAT to be back at OTG! Nice to see everyone at 9:30.

I went light today. First day back, felt sorta tired and knew that the burpees (not my fav) would catch up w/ me & they did even w/ lighter weight.

75Ibs-6:18.

Hope to feel caught up by mid week for WOD #2 on Saturday! Anyone have any ideas of what it's going to be? Can't wait!

K-Swat said...

Rx'd FB: I wanna say 5:36 but not 100% sure.

Mark this was the wod I did in my BDU's and boots last time. haha I know I had a 30 sec pr.

Great job noon class. Rolls were quite fun to watch.

Thanks Justin for the MU help. Somethings starting to click I think.

Mary B-hof said...

FB. Went in thinking I would go light today bc my elbows have been bothering me but somehow allowed Justin to convince me to do 85. Lift felt good.9:18....ahhh burpees slow me down! Thanks tony m for counting my reps and the encouragement!
