WOD
Tonight, it became blindingly obvious who used which hand to...write with! 😉
Fun but not so much fun. The countdown to Xmas is officially begun and each day you come to train is just giving your fitness an even bigger barrier against the battering it is soon to be receiving when the booze comes out.

A 'SHIT SANDWICH' is a method of delivering some bad news, advice, or a rejection of someone's idea(s). It is designed to make the bad news, advice or rejection more palatable, easier to take, and/or easier on the receiving party.
It is used to ensure the the person hearing the bad news, advice or rejection actually listens to what is being said so they can eat and digest it...
You want someone to eat the 'Shit' (bad news), you serve it between two lovely slices of bread.. hence 'Shit Sandwich' George is just about to be sacked....
Hi George,
You've been with us for over 20 years and you've been a fantastic member of our team. You've dedicated so much of your own time its unbelieveable. You are a real credit.
The company needs to cut back and as you are so close to retirement it was felt that you'd be the ideal one to step down. Free up some of your time to do things you want to do.
Think of all the positive things you can now do with that dear wife of yours. She can finally spend some quality time with you, and you can take that Cruise you've always said you'd take her on. I envy you George.
Thats a 'Shit Sandwich'......
Not - Hi George, your Fired.....
Although honestly, this is just gonna be shit!!

She is one of the gym's longest standing members. She was with us when we all stood a significant chance of dying due to cramped working conditions and zero visibility 400m run routes. But she stuck to it and is now reaping the benefits! Jess you are the perfect example of how CrossFit actually makes people younger!
Congratulations and Happy Birthday on your big day! Come along and join us in a partner workout

There were PB's flying everywhere tonight. Such an amazing effort by everyone in class. Utter bad asses showing balls and determination, getting under those bars and showing the bastards who's boss! Tomorrow we continue with the qualifiers for the DWF15 team. You shall need to show us some skill to get by.

Well done to all those who attempted Fran today and especially those that RX'd it. If it was your first Fran then make a note of the time, you'll look back in years to come with fond memories. She won't get any easier though! We graduate a new set of OnRampers tomorrow night who will be enjoying a little bit of FGB as is tradition. If you're in the 6pm class feel free to stick around and give them some love. As a result we'll be deferring our usual Friday Partner WOD until Monday which will be an 'adopt an OnRamper' class.
Tomorrow's WOD:
20min AMRAP: 15 SDHP (35kg/25kg) 10 Hang Power Snatch (35kg/25kg) Run 400m
Such cool or at he box tonight all. Learning a new skill can suck and feel like you are banging your head against...the floor, repeatedly but it comes. And when it does, many other things will follow. No, i'm not bonkers. This is going to be challenging, but you didn't expect CrossFit to be easy did you...
CrossFit Cardiff WoD
For Time:
25 - 20 - 15 - 10 - 5 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 25 - 20 - 15 - 10 - 5
Reps of: GHD Sit ups* Squat Cleans (100/70kg) Burpees
*Now no one really wants testicles the size of watermelons and urine the colour of coca-cola, so for you big BALLED eagles out there...leave them at the door and scale. You need to have had significant exposure to the GHD, and be able to perform the movement correctly, to be able to include them in the WoD. Otherwise scale to Ab mat sit ups.

This is a very special post, and is dedicated to three extremely special people: Katie, Ross (AKA The Poodle) and Arthur Peter Daniels, their brand new baby boy! I'd like to pass on a massive congratulations from the gym and everyone in it!
The Poodle is the life of every party and brings morale in bucket loads wherever he is. Katie is one of the kindest mentalists that I have ever met.
Arthur is going to be an utter dude! He will have the opportunity not to just join the amazing community that we are all part of, but he will be able to grow up in it. He's already got a big brother in me, and I'm sure has many others.
Welcome to the world little one. We shall celebrate in pain.
Arthur
For Time: Row 2015m 6 rope climbs (25ft) 30 Thrusters (50/35kg)
