Hi CF KoP community! I miss you guys! The worst thing about traveling for work is not being able to go to CF KoP :(
I hope I am not too late to request a few songs for the iPod...
Jimmy Eat World - "Sweetness"
The Ataris - "Boys of Summer" (more punk than Don Henley or Hooters version) - I have been wanting to hear this all summer.
Green Day - "American Idiot"
Flo-Rida - "in the ayer"
Would love to hear more Green Day and Wheezer!
Thanks!
I love this pic! looking good Tom!
This is like Fran, half, totally in my wheelhouse and half totally not. I may have to give it a try, just because I need to know how to do double unders when I'm crushed.
Holy crap, Tom, that is one bad ass pic.

Nice work everyone!
I love this picture of Tom! He looks so bad ass here!
Great pic of Tom. He is very focused and determined mid-WOD.
Megs,
What's up with you and burpees? Do you hae a secret burpee technique that makes you faster than anyone else? Please share.
Nina/Kristen T, did you rx all of the double unders? Nice job. I saw you working on them with Danny a few weeks ago.
Dorothy
Dont stop moving!! Seriously, thats it. And just dont think go somewhere else - to your happy place
For once, what Jason said abot the music was true...didnt even hear it!
. . . the 6am/7am KOP version of "Nasty Girls" - Kristin, Megs and Nina - is totally inspiring! Way to go!
How many singles per double under?
@Dorthy, Megs' secret is that she cranked through the double unders in like 10 seconds. That left lots of time in each round for burpees. It was an impressive effort! Great job Megs!
3 singles for every 1 double under.
KSB - that looks like part of my current playlist...great choices...didn't think many others in the box listened to older pop-punk - emo...stuff

Also Dorothy, It helped a lot for me to leave the last 15 seconds of the minute to rest. After the 1st or 2nd round I never got more than 10 burpees in a round, and otherwise tried to stay above 8.
@ Dorothy - yes, I did Rx DU's but added a SU in between for most of them....just to get through! I practiced my DU's after class and I think I am finally getting the hang of stringing them without the SU in between! Just need to keep up with the practice!! Also, great job on WOD today! You killed it!
YA, Dorothy you crushed it!!!!!

This was a grinder, and it was awesome to see people's grit & determination through the worst of it! Some truly exception efforts tonight. Nice work, all around.
Stay on high ground this weekend, people.
Holy SHIT Sam B! Nice work man. 6:59 is mind boggling to me.
Ditto on the Sam-love. I saw him walk outside at ~7 minutes and thought maybe he was going to puke. Nope. Bad. Ass.
Those were the best I've ever done DUs. Most minutes I strung 10 together which helped my weak-ass burpees. Seemed like being tired helped with the rhythm. Or maybe I was too tired to think about them. Donkey said she experiences similar DU improvements when tired.
Anyone else experience this?
It was great to see the 6:30'ers tough this one out - this work out falls into the category of "the sooner it's over the better!"
Sam
I actually wondered if Sam was puking too. I was like...holy CRAP that was fast :)
