CrossFit Masters

Push Jerk 5-5-5-3-3-3

5 Rounds:
3 Box Jumps Max Height
10 Pull Ups


I am still fired up about Xenia, John, and Lesley competing at the throwdown.  You all train just as hard as anyone else at the box and we are proud to claim you all as CFES athletes.  It took guts for you to go out and compete in front of all those people.  You really showed them all what you are made of.  CrossFit is not just about 25 year old super athletes doing ridiculous WODs.  CrossFit is also about empowering people by increasing health, performance, and functionality for the long haul.  The three of you are every bit as amazing as any of the young studs in our box.  You all are true competitors and you are an inspiration to us all.  Thank you all for being active members of our CrossFit community.

Great post Justin. There are so many members of the gym that train just as hard as anyone else in the box. It's great seeing a post that recognizes some of these efforts. Xenia, Leslie and John, great job out there and thank you for being a great inspiration for all of us.

One year ago this week CrossFit East Sacramento hosted its ‘Grand Opening’. It was a fun filled day that gave just a glimpse of what was to come.

In the past year, our coaches have built a strong community in CFES and as a way to thank them, some of us thought fitting to have a member hosted CFES Anniversary party (at the box of course). A couple of us will buy the staples (meat and keg) and our community will potluck the rest! Chip in some cash if you can or bring some of the makings for you favorite drinks…what’s a CFES party without Irish Car Bombs?!

The anniversary shin-dig will throw down on Saturday November 21st in the evening. Look for a sign up on the board for potluck items. I hope everyone can make it! What a great reason to celebrate.

Xenia, Leslie and John: a very well-deserved recognition! You constantly inspire me - and make life fun!

[cort]

Rest day on Leaderboard.

[Matt P]

Cort- great idea on the pot luck. Count us in!

Oh, sorry to hijack the blog again, but there appears to be another message from CrossFit in the Future:

Seriously Matt P... I think I love you! Oh, shit! Too soon? (Burpees.)

[Brian]

Thank you Justin and Travis for the new grip on the bar. Change is difficult but can be done.

Sorry Tony for almost killing you this morning with the 25# plate flying off the 42" box that I missed.

[Tony]

B, No big deal. I'm a god damn navy seal/olympic gold medalist wrapped in a f-ing suit of body armor. The plate would have either bounced off of me or shattered into small pieces.

Thanks Justin...slowly but surely. Next thing is to get pullups down, once and for all! Hey, also, to address your question on where the word Moxie comes from, and what it means. I looked it up in the dictionary, and found:

1:Energy, pep
2:Courage, determination
3:Know-how
4:Not easily Kenso'd

Just wanted to clear that up.

Matt, you definitely crack me up........but, who are you billing your time to making those things? :o)

[Sabrina]

Matt, your true talents are clearly wasted in the legal world. I dare you to demand 100 burpees from opposing counsel in your next motion for sanctions.

[Angela]

Xenia, Lesley and John are 3 of my favorite people to be around. Some of my best Crossfit days have been when partnered up with you (John, remember when we were teamed up and RX'd the WOD and came in 1st? The day I climbed the rope - twice)!Thanks for being great work out partners, and for inspiring the rest of us to be fit and strong. None of this would be the same without the three of you.

Wow! The Level 1 certification was awesome! Pat and I agreed that our outstanding coaches have taught us so much - that a lot of it was review- thank you, Justin and Travis!
It was an amazing experience to be coached by other CF badasses at the cert. We had an awesome crew of coaches- 2 of them previous winners of the games- Jason and Jolie. And having Pat Barber help me on my muscle ups was pretty sweet. I was sooooooooooooooooo close. He gave me some great tips. Watching Boz go from an L sit to a handstand was fun as well. Freddy was a great cruise director for the weekend. Rory is no longer just a name from the journal- he's a really funny dude. Austin gave us some great tips too. Doing Fran in front of all the other particpants and having those badasses coach me during the workout was so cool.
The cert was such a great expereience and if you are at all inclined to go to a Level 1- do it! You will learn to appreciate all that we do here at CFES and you will get some great insight further into CF, nutrition, and programming.
Cort- I love the party idea!

From the little bit I saw on Saturday..(since I spent most of the day sleeping off being nauseous in the truck) everyone did great. I can't wait until I can actually participate in things.. and I really can't wait to start feeling like a normal person.

Congrats to Pat and Anne on your Level 1!!

I know Travis and I wont be making it to the party, we're having thanksgiving with my family that day in the bay area. Just in case he forgets and volunteers us for something.. lol. I'm bummed we'll miss it, and I know he'll pout, but we've had this commitment for months.

[xenia]

Justin, I just logged on and you also made my day-thank you so much:) I love this "box". Thanks to all for your camaraderie, encouragement,laughter and sense of humor. You're all an inspiration to me!!

Nick,thanks for being a great sport and signing up on the 50+ team:)

Lesley, you were awesome!! I couldn't have asked for a better teammate:)

John,you did a fantastic job. Next time I'll try to strategize better:) PS can you ask your son if I left my MAD crossfit hoodie at Moxie??

[John Michelmore]

Angela, I do remember...we rocked that workout!

Xenia, I'll let you know about the MAD hoodie once I hear back from Chris.

Hey, if anyone hasn't yet seen the slide show from Saturday, check out the Moxie site. It's pretty cool.

Anne and Pat...what a great opportunity. You're both awesome athletes!

[Nick Conn]

Matt P - u r the Jedi Master of the Future of Crossfit. Already looking forward to Episode 4.
Justin/Travis - Thanks for the help today. The new grip helped, now just gotta work on those ass explosions.
Anne/Brooke/Cort - Monster jerks! But whats w/ 3 of you having the same post. No Kensoing today?

[Matt]

To all- We will be changing the date of the Party due to a scheduling conflict. Cort, Barb, or myself will keep you all posted as soon as we lock a date. Thanks and STAY F*N ELITE!

[Kenso]

John, weren't we just talking about this on the ride down? Not only are you guys bad asses, but you look good doing it too.

Man wtf. I put up 225.5 but it only shows 225. Apparently the leaderboard does not acknowledge the ancient art of the Kenso. Racist leaderboard.

Matt, another great video, keep em coming. Burpees.

[Kenso]

Oh yeah...Anne and Pat, you're cool too.

[Kenso]

Last post for the night, I promise. Check out the Moxie site, the posted the results. Be sure to check out the final WOD times...hahahaha

[Lesley Heller]

Xenia: I have your hoodie. U left it in my car. I will bring tomorrow. Lesley Thx for your faith in me. We had so much fun. Lesley
