Jenn C., an athlete at CrossFit Unlimited, brings us another variation of the CrossFit Christmas tree.

CrossFit San Rafael holds a female-friendly "Fran" Challenge: [wmv] [mov]

Reggie Wallace of CrossFit DC reworks the lyrics of "A Few of My Favorite Things" to give the song a definite CrossFit presence . . .

"Kettlebells and barbells and dumbbells for muscle,
Met-con a-plenty, but now I can't hustle,
Coach (Tom) yelling at us 'Go to the rings,'
These are a few of my favorite things.

Burpees and kipping that don't take much time,
Wall-ball tabatas that singe your behind,
Running 'round blocks with so much sweat it stings,
These are a few of my favorite things.

When my legs ache,
When my lungs hurt,
When I feel half-dead,
I simply remember my favorite things,
But CrossFit DC, I dread!

Bear crawls and box jumps . . . hey, do a crab walk,
Five sets of deadlifts, but where is the chalk?
FGB, Fran, and T.B.'s own routines,
These are a few of my favorite things.

V-sits and plank holds and push-ups galore,
By warm-up, I'm sweaty; but wait . . . there is more,
Overhead squats and the 'Aaaaaarrrrrrgggggghhhh!' that it brings,
These are a few of my favorite things.

When my abs cramp,
When my quads burn,
When I'm out of breath,
I cannot remember my favorite things,
'Cause right now I feel like death!"
