Correction on the distance, it was a sprint distance not the half Ironman. Comment #1 - Posted by: PFEIFER at August 8, 2005 7:08 PMStill pretty impressive!! Congrats!! Comment #2 - Posted by: Jesse Woody at August 8, 2005 7:20 PMDamn impressive! Keep up the good work. Comment #3 - Posted by: brian_g at August 8, 2005 7:30 PMCongrats Pfeifer. Comment #4 - Posted by: Tim J. at August 8, 2005 8:30 PMPhil...how long have you been doing only the WOD? What kind of training did you do prior to that? Comment #5 - Posted by: Suzanne at August 8, 2005 9:11 PMWow, way to go. Comment #6 - Posted by: eva t. at August 8, 2005 9:12 PMI have been doing the crossfit WOD for about a year, before that I mostly used freeweights in a bodybuilding split. Triathlon is a new challange that I am going to have to find time to train for so that I can complete the longer distance races. Comment #7 - Posted by: PFEIFER at August 8, 2005 9:24 PMThumbs up. Comment #8 - Posted by: Matthew Townsend at August 8, 2005 10:01 PMnice work Pheifer! Comment #9 - Posted by: Murph at August 8, 2005 10:10 PMAwesome! Comment #10 - Posted by: Andrea at August 8, 2005 10:43 PMI don't think I can do a rest day tomorrow. I rested for two days in a row when I was at the Grand Canyon. Comment #11 - Posted by: Kris at August 8, 2005 10:43 PMPhillip, In another endurance event that maybe of interest to the crossfit community, a friend is hiking the entire 2650 miles Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada. He is documenting his trip on the web with updates 2-3 times a week via satphone and laptop...a great adventure and interesting read... www.pct2005.com Comment #13 - Posted by: jeftyg at August 8, 2005 11:23 PMThats my boy. Crossfit Spokane is now on the map.I tell everyone here this guy is off the chain. T.rain Comment #14 - Posted by: T.Rain at August 8, 2005 11:31 PMOutstanding. -D. No rest for the wicked...you can sleep when you die. 0630 morning PT on pier (warm-up mostly), followed by a modified circuit consiting of elbow-to-knee (with a squat in the middle) four count(x15), boot-camp abs routine, and push-ups (shoulder width, wide, narrow) 20,5,1. Felt really good, need to push myself more. I was leading a group of limited duty folks. Does anyone have any ideas on some good workouts that a mostly low impact for someone with knee or back injuries? Douglas Does the sprint Tri have a .5mi swim, 25mibike and 6.2mi run? Congrats Pfeifer. My brother-in-law is a triathlete and has been introduced to CF by me. He uses some of the concepts and your results may get him doing more. Comment #18 - Posted by: Will Hunter at August 9, 2005 5:04 AMHey Jeftyg, I plan on hiking the Appalachian Trail in April. I was all ready to go hike the AT this April, but a cute little latina threw a wrench in that plan. She's gone now, so it's back on! :P I'll definitely be keeping up with your friends adventure. Thanks for posting the link. Comment #19 - Posted by: Neil Eldridge at August 9, 2005 5:35 AMGreat work Phillip! 105# OH squats: 4/7/7/15! Finally made a solid 15 reps with this weight. The first sets felt terrible; balance was off and I couldn't get my shoulders positioned. Still working on Crossfit Challenge #3. Only a few more pounds to go to match my current bodyweight. I will get it! Comment #20 - Posted by: kelly moore at August 9, 2005 6:01 AMFantastic effort Phillip Pfeifer! Say that fast three times. Comment #21 - Posted by: Steve HB at August 9, 2005 6:51 AMGreat work man! Off to carry a sandbag Jeremy Comment #22 - Posted by: Jeremy at August 9, 2005 7:32 AM90# sandbag, 1 mile 14:30 Jeremy Comment #23 - Posted by: Jeremy at August 9, 2005 8:18 AMI was surfing the CF site a few weeks ago and happened upon a picture of a girl with a lower leg cast climbing a rope. Can anybody direct to that picture again? Comment #24 - Posted by: wally at August 9, 2005 8:48 AMhey jeremy. how do you carry that bag? huggin' it, on your shoulder, switching it up, or what? I'm gonna start with a 60lb. pt log i made, so any tip will help. Comment #25 - Posted by: paul at August 9, 2005 9:14 AMI'm so inspired by all of the comments I have been reading on the site over the past two weeks. I'm about to start doing WOD but will likely have to scale back as I put on lots of weight and lost some muscle while recovering from a massivley heurniated disk this past winter. Hey, at least I avoided surgery. I've heard mention about Crossfit challenges but can't find them on the site. Can someone direct me? I'd like to use them to help establish goals to work towards. Thanks for the inspiration everyone. Jason Comment #26 - Posted by: Jason at August 9, 2005 9:32 AMAre rested days posted periodically ever 4th or 5th day, or what? Comment #27 - Posted by: Ryan at August 9, 2005 9:52 AMHey guys. I haven't stopped by the site in a few days. You've gotta wonder about the demographic for a site that's got links up for Mistress Krista and Shivworks in the same week. Funnier still that I fit this demographic. :-) The crossfit challenges can be found here: http://www.crossfit.com/cf-info/trophy/CF-challenge.html Comment #30 - Posted by: Jesse Woody at August 9, 2005 10:17 AMAll questions answered (more or less). Wally - I found the pic of Lani here (I don't know html): http://www.crossfit.com/mt-archive2/2005_06.html (Friday 050617)
http://www.crossfit.com/discus/messages/25/25.html The ones that Jesse posted are still around, but a little out of date.
"Need for Speed" 6 Rounds for time of: Last workout, since I'm heading out tommorow for bootcamp in Great Lakes. Thank you Coach and everyone here for inspiring me everyday! Hopefully I can pick it back up sometime during A school. Keep it up guys! Comment #32 - Posted by: arob at August 9, 2005 11:28 AMwhat's the best source for information on the mills that kelly moore does? thanks. Comment #33 - Posted by: kevin o at August 9, 2005 12:44 PM"Does the sprint Tri have a .5mi swim, 25mibike and 6.2mi run?" Usually "sprints" are 750m swim, 20k bike, and 5k run. These are roughly one-half the distances of an Olympic distance tri. Comment #34 - Posted by: Mike at August 9, 2005 12:52 PMSome reading that I encountered while randomly looking into the world record for push-ups. It's a good read. I missed this one so I did it today as catch up tabata score 16 with 25lbs Whoops Kevin O, Go to www.circularstrength.com and click on Olympic Clubbell Sport. It will provide video clips of the mill and swipe. Comment #38 - Posted by: kelly moore at August 9, 2005 2:04 PMGoing to do some 56# WFD throws and maybe a little javelin. Might even run a little. I'm going out of town tommorrow for a week, but luckily the hotel I am staying at has a gym. Hopefully they have WiFi as well so that I can see the WOD's... Comment #39 - Posted by: Jon at August 9, 2005 2:28 PMPaul, Jeremy Comment #40 - Posted by: Jeremy at August 9, 2005 3:40 PMSandbag 189.5 lbs me 188lbs weighed myself right after I weighed bag. 1/2 mile in 8:05 did not have the motivation to go a full mile with this weight today. This was hard... Comment #41 - Posted by: craigv bwt 185 at August 9, 2005 4:06 PMToday Did yesterdays WOD today as prescribed 17:34 all pullups broken, 16 unbroken pullups in the first set. Comment #43 - Posted by: Allen Yeh at August 9, 2005 4:24 PMNO swimming?? Did you grow up swimming competively? As a triathlete, I can't imagine not including pool time if for nothing else than to work on stroke technique. I even take the time to find an open swim from time to time to work out the difference in head postioning, etc. I realize that as a former swim team coach & swimmer, and now a triathlete, I'm biased. Anyway, hats off to you coming out of the water. Did the rest of the race fair well? Swimming gets me a lead, the bike renders me even, and unfortunately the run brings the backs of my fellow competitors into my line of site. By the way, been doing the WOD thing for about 3 - 4 months. Tremendous results. BIG thanks to all. it finally happened. a guy at the gym says with a strange look on his face, "hey, you want me to hold your feet for you on your next set of pull ups?". i say, "no i am kipping on purpose". i don't think he believed me because he said, "well you are military and all (i had on an old brown bdu t-shirt/i am not in the military anymore)" then he paused and said, "i guess you know what you are doing". i do. -why explain? ---------------- Nope no swimming, that was my weak leg for sure. I will be taking some tech. classes in swimming before I try that again. thanks all for the kind words and especially to Coach and lauren thanks for Crossfit. Comment #46 - Posted by: PFEIFER at August 9, 2005 8:10 PMNo rest for the Wicked. -D vs J Jones
With Dan's help I was able to FINALLY C & J my bodyweight! (about a 10 lb increase, and ugly as hell). I even went for 195 and power cleaned it, but couldn't get it to jerk. One "New Year" resolution off the list. Now if I can just do it with some kind of 'form'.
Damn right, I won. Plus I got free beer and food.
grace 4.18 weighted tabata squats - again 11 with 40# DB thanks! Comment #50 - Posted by: Murph at August 10, 2005 5:08 AMCF with Marines today. Another class on the clean, front squat, and OH squat. 4 rounds of 10 front squats, 20 lunges, 20 pushups. Finished with Tabata squats. Base paper wants to highlight CF in an article. Comment #51 - Posted by: Tim J. at August 10, 2005 6:23 AMRower: 15min 302Cal REST: 10min Clean&Jerk: 4X10@115lbs=40 run 1.5 miles. elliptical for 20 mins at HR=160-168.
