WTF? Where’s the QOD? I wanted to vote.

Screwet, here’s the Official bh QOD:

Why are all of the benchmarks named after girls?

a. Because girls are crazy just like our workouts.
b. Like a hurricane, Short and intense, these workouts are supposed to knock down levies.
c. It’s pretty much the same thing they do in Russia, where Giants of Fitness are born.
d. They represent many of Glassman’s pas relationships.


You aren't eating enough.

Day 4

The day was spent on Lockdown due to weather. That means, there was a tornado warning most of the day, and we were instructed to stay in the class ALL DAMN DAY! This was ridiculous.

What else do I have to report? Well, I guess I can tell you all the workout of the day... it's pretty sweet!

Day 3

WOD:
Death by Powerclean. 60Kg
13 minutes. 91 total.

Rip says to a group of us:
You know what I think about this whole what's it called, Pig Flu or some shit? Swine flu is it? Damn near nobody can get it in the US. All the people confirmed to have it is in Mexico. Oh, and Mexico, I pretty much guarantee that because of all this horse shit, their government is gonna declare marshal law. I'd put money on it.
Female in the group:
So, should we go to the hospital if we have the symptoms or anything?
Rip:
If you're a Mexican, sure. (Gesturing at me) You're pretty much the only one with a legitimate concern.
Me: I'm not a Mexican!
Rip: Whatever. (Walks away).

Where did this crazyness happen?

it was here:


Tired and have to write a paper.

Day 2

Hi.
When I woke up this morning, for good (I woke up several times throughout the night without any good reason. Weak) I made it my first priority to go to the gym to make a routine out of it.
At 0440hrs I approached the Gym to find that the gym doesn't open until 0500. So, I took a few laps around the building to warm up/not be bored. I could see the workers in there just sitting around. I wanted so bad to just go in...

0500
I made myself cozy with a squat rack and 3x3's (155-185-205). Afterall, I'm not really sure what to expect from today's crossfit wichita falls workout. I ran a 1.5 miles on the treadmill and called it.

Class was interesting.
The kids are...kids. I'm the class leader which puts me in a weird position because I have to be in charge of 12 kids. Fun! Our instructor has a really bad southern accent, which makes me not want to listen to her. She said a few funny things:
1. Can somebody borrow her a pen?
2. I so do love me some chocolate coffee.

If I keep a positive attitude it will all be over soon.
On a lighter note:

The owner's name is Mark Ripptoe. He's a monster, and to be honest, I'm a little afraid of him.
Rip(to a smaller guy in the group): What did you eat for breakfast?
Guy: Um, some egg whites and a pear.
Rip: Lunch?
Guy: Um, 2 chicken breasts.
Rip: I'll tell you why you're not recovering fast enough, you're not eating enough.
Ben: I had a double whopper and fries for lunch.
Rip: Well, what's goin' on with you is a little different, but man, for a guy your size to do kippers, it's a wonder your hands aren't ripped to shit.

Schoolhouse:

Home for a few weeks.

More to follow.

Sheppard Adventure Day 1

So, the one thing I have to complain about is that my TV is fucked. I'm supposed to be watching the Simpsons, but there is no FOX network TV, and so I'm watching the new Futurama. I'm unimpressed.

So, my day:
0330 Wake up.
0400 Leave Beach House
0500 Wait in line for 30 minutes...my baggage weighed 49 pounds. The lady at American Airlines asked if I had a scale. I told her no I was simply confined to the size of a well built piece of luggage. Witty.
0530 Eat Bacon and egg crossantwitch from Burger King.
0545 Board Plane - I got upgraded to FIRST CLASS!!! Free Mimosas!
0645 Plane Take off!

Um...arrived at Dallas around Noon, and didn't eat anything, just sat there reading like for 4 hours.

So, I'm reading this book, "Big Boy Rules," It's about Gov't Contractors in Iraq. Pretty interesting so far. I'm pretty sure I'll finish it in the next couple of days.

Arrived at Wichita Falls around 4pm, took a 9 dollar cab ride to Sheppard AFB, and got to my hotel room around 5.

Went to Buffalo Wild Wings and had a Blackened Chicken Salad for Dinner.

Now, I'm all tired and I'm going to bed early so I can get up and workout with Guzman. I wish I could upload this picture I'm trying to share. I'll have some time to figure it out tomorrow, I'm sure.
