[UPDATE AS OF 9/28/2009 @ 530PM]
From all the texts and emails I've received in the past couple hours, I'll presume everyone likes the WOD. I'm really excited by all the enthusiasm.
This is the third version of this WOD. The first was an attempt to replicate a Painstorm-style workout; it failed miserably. Let's say I about bored myself to death. After doing lots of revisions, I enlisted the help of a good friend and great CrossFit athlete to make sure the WOD made sense and packed a punch. Yesterday, I took it through it's first trial run and almost died -- TWICE. Talked it over with my buddy, one last revision, and voila! JIM BROWN THE WORKOUT is complete!
Just some quick bullet-points for everyone:
- Non-CrossFitters and newbies [anyone who hasn't been a CrossFitter for a minimum of 90 days] are required to attend the 9AM movement/techniques class. NO EXCEPTIONS! The lifts are not the most "technical" of movements, however, I need to feel comfortable with your ability to SAFELY perform. I will not put my athletes or gym at risk 'cause your ego got the best of you.
- Be on time! I don't except tardiness for my morning classes nor will I for this event. Since there is no formal registration, I don't know who and how many people will be competing. I'll presume we will run several heats for both Pack and Savage skill levels, and I will coordinate the heats in the AM. [My AM classes are fined burpees for each minute they're late. Yes, this will apply tomorrow.]
- Be courteous. Bring water. Maybe a change of shirts [if your sweat glands work overtime] and towel [to wipe off your equipment]. The team is more important than the individual.
- CrossFit CLE is located at 2218 Superior Ave E, Cleveland, OH 44114. We're inside a huge brick building; our door is underneath a blue awning. There is a sign on the front of our building. Directions: Take 77N to 90E, exit the Superior Ave exit and turn left, pass through two traffic lights (driving toward downtown Cleveland), after the second traffic light our building is on the left-hand side. Park on the street, either in front of the building or on the side streets (E 23rd or 22nd). If you pass the Plain Dealer building on your right, you've gone too far. If you get lost or need help, call us at 216-373-0820.
- WEAR YOUR CROSSFIT SHIRTS! We're going to be shooting video footage and taking lots of photos. Let's show 'em our badges of honor. If you're a member of CLE, I expect to see lots of HARDEN THE F UP shirts! If you're a member of another affiliate, I want to see you represent your gym with pride!
We'll go over the rules and standards in the AM.
See you all soon.
In strength.

I can't wait! See you crazy kids in the am.I may even bring my own puke bucket.
Oh Dear God!
I almost didn't want to look. But then I had to. I may just meet Pukie tomorrow!
The only thing hard about this workout is breathing
I can't be there, I relocated to West Virginia(No crossfit facilities)..If my work schedule permitted I was going to make an appearance, but it didn't... I told myself when you posted the WOD I would just do it on my own and email you guys about it, I'm thinking maybe not. Have fun everyone, miss all you guys in the crossfit community.
