Happy Birthday Chief – Glad you didn’t turn 60 today.
Dan Bruce – way to gut it out pal. You crushed those last 25 burpees even though your mind said go home!!!! Proud to stand next to you today…

Holly – K2E has always been an “ideal” to me. Kinda like bring the knees up towards your elbows or in the general vicinity of your elbows….Does it actually hurt when the knees hit the elbow? Holy Crap Girl -

Thank you everyone who encouraged me to finish, especially Rich. I OWE you one. If it weren’t for you guys(gals) I think I would have happily accepted a DNF. Today was my first attempt at Filthy 50 and it kicked my @$$. Remember it’s all mental!

Happy Birthday Chief!!! We miss you at 6 am and it was great having you back with us today. I must apologize for telling you I hated you and that you should go back to Healthtrax mid-way through the burpees. You know I didn’t mean it
Nothing I say during the burpee portion of this WOD should ever be taken seriously (in the legal arena I think this defense is called temporary insanity by reason of burpees). PS – did you ever think you would be getting ready to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro when you turned 52???? Less than 5 months away!

I thought “WE” were going to do the “Chief” for his Birthday WOD!
Happy Birthday JL! Awesome WOD and you will be back before you know it!
I MISS you every am…
Looking forward to the “Filthy 53″ I am sure everyone else is too! Hahaha

Rich- my mind was saying alot of things like… I think Im going to puke…I cant wait to eat that half a banana in my car…how much longer until I can get my venti non-fat latte…what was I thinking going to 6pm yesterday and getting up at 5 am today…still feel like I am going to puke…you can do it 8 more burpees!
One again Rich, many thanks.

Happy Birthday John!!! We’ve missed you in the 6 am, it needs a little testosterone!!! Have a wonderful 52nd birthday!!!!

Dan – First your welcome- 5AMers have pulled me through many near DNF’s
Second – Two thoughts….
1. Stop drinking Lattes – Go Black and Strong next time you are at Starbuck’s
2. Have Bob spot you next time we bench press (see yesterday’s photo)- your mind will never wander to Bananas again. Especially during Burpees

Rich – you are killing me! LOL:)
John – Happy Birthday!!!! It was nice to have you back today! HoweverI agree with Suzie “the Chief” would have been a better start to the day!
I felt like I was 100 today trying to get through the wall balls and burpies.

Thanks to all for the “I hate you” and the F’ you”s this morning. I know that they were all said with true Cynergy Crossfit Love!!
Thank you Cindy for scheduling this my favorite workout. I really do miss you guys and cannot wait until I am back in the box every morning at 6am.
Looking forward to the Filthy Fifty Three!!! haha

Happy Birthday Chief! You don’t look a day over 51!

Happy Birthday Chief- Rest assured that there were plenty of ‘F’ing Chief’ at 9am too.
Good to see Bob Bailey at 9am too. Get some rest.

Happy Birthday John!! What a night I have ahead of me!

Happy Birthday Chief! I feel like I am on the loosing end of a fight gone bad. That was sheer agony! Shout out to Vigneau, Gaynor and Pizzi for doing the Filthy 2! Outstanding & hilarious – especially because NONE of you could do 2 DUs in a row!
September 16th, 2009 at 5:36 pm
Rich, why do you have to throw me under the bus? I thought we were friends. You have always said you enjoyed the “encouragement” I gave you. Apparently that is not true. Anyways Happy Birthday Chief. One suggestion though…could you lie about your age…35 would be good.
September 16th, 2009 at 6:21 pm
Oh Bob! CLEARLY you guys are friends. CLOSE friends! A picture’s worth a thousand words after all. And we LOVE your encouragement and DO miss you when you’re not around so make sure you’re always around.

Happy Bday chief…(damn ’57 was a great year!!)
as Bette Davis said ‘old age is not for sissies!’
