Thank you for allowing me to train with you this summer. Being a
football player at a Division 1 level I obviously want the best
workout available to increase my performance. I have been doing
conventional weightlifting for since I can remember and recently have
not felt like it was increasing my performance as it should. Coming to
Crossfit has been amazing. The high intensity workouts have made me
more mentally tough, physically stronger, and able to endure more.
Thank you for bringing me in, I believe in Crossfit all the way.

My daughter and I started Crossfit 1 month ago, I already feel an increased sense of strength. I've always been physically active, growing up as a competitive gymnast and lately an avid runner. Tim's ability to push me through the mental and physical boundaries of each and every Crossfit class is incredible. I have also been participating in the Kettlebell program and Tim has made it constantly challenging, exhausting and exhilarating all at the same time. I love the fact that he is always on the lookout for proper form and is quick to correct you if need be. He continues to push us to work hard, use good form, and never forgetting to tell us that we are doing a good job. Thanks for the motivation, support and the extremely challenging workouts.

Greg, just remember. As another master once said: "There is no try, only do, or do not."
You will DO!

Greg, you'd better bring your birth certificate cause no one will believe you're in the masters division. Great photo!

Thanks for all the kind words!!
Masters: No reason not to do--only getting my schedule cleared, and ramp up the lifting form and Metcon work
Crossfit and Paleo: March 1 was my first anniversary! I can't believe the improvement I have seen over the last year, and since the first of the year. My lipids are way better, I have lost about 20 lbs, and my body fat calc tells me I need to eat more! Oh, and I am pretty sure I am stronger in all categories, but I don't have much of a baseline for things like deadlift, only my increases in the last year.
Paleo has been OK for me, only a little on the boring side for food, but I have always used the 10% non-Paleo to keep me sane, red wine, a little oatmeal here and there, sweet potatoes, etc. I still have trouble eating enough vegetables for Zone calcs.
My goal has been and still is to do the WOD as Rx. Not gonna change that.
Thanks to all of you at Flatirons Crossfit for making it a special year!

Then
Today's WOD, only I have completely lost the ability to do any kind of Double Under, even my retarded way, so I did quads instead.
