Will the CrossFit Games see the first repeat champion this year in Jason Khalipa? At a recent local throwdown, Khalipa's team was nearly finished with a police car tow when a teammate’s rope got caught under the tire of the car and she was slammed into the fender. The event was immediately stopped and the team given the choice of towing the car again or receiving a "Did Not Finish." Khalipa refused to DNF and, in a test of mental and physical strength, he and teammate Patrick "Manimal" Barber decided that they alone would tow the car again. Afterward, exhausted and on the ground, Khalipa quipped, "At least it was a good experience."

So Chicago is hosting the Regional's on the same weekend as the G8 Nato Summit. That place is going to be a shit show with all the gas mask wearing @fitters being confused with protestors and being peppersprayed by the police

- Ryan BraunMy workouts have been virtually the same for the past six season and I did not get 1% stronger
I didn't know that Braun did @fit. Now he has to deal with rumors he has herpes and does @fit. I don't know which is more embarrassing.

It's a workout. Sure, it can get you tired. But if you puke after doing a few pullups and squat push presses (THE ALMIGHTY FRAN!!!) you've got a weak stomach - period. The stomach is a muscle too, and when you puke it's the stomach's way of failing.
As a sidenote, notice how Chris Spealler is still one of the few Crossfit competitors who isn't arrogant or full-on koolaid crazy.

My local Y has been invaded by rabid Crossfitters. Fortunately they have their own space and equipment, and most of them stay out of the weightroom. I also see many at the local park where I go to walk my dog. He barks at them.

That was from his talk with the media. ESPN keeps playing that sound bite as part of his denial.Mickey O'neil wrote:Where is that quote from?Jonny Canuck wrote:- Ryan BraunMy workouts have been virtually the same for the past six season and I did not get 1% stronger

One of the downsides of the Internet is that it allows like-minded people to form communities, and sometimes those communities are stupid.

I saw Les Stroud build something like that on Survivorman to catch mice. Called it a crush trap I believe.

Fuck, really? Thought they were @fitters, which in fairness was an easy error to make. Sorry, S.O. people.Shafpocalypse Now wrote:Because they're special olympians, asshole.

At least he's going to die doing what he loves.
I don't have a lot of experience with vampires, but I have hunted werewolves. I shot one once, but by the time I got to it, it had turned back into my neighbor's dog.

I thought they were from the Gay Gaymes?

Re: The couch thread
I find people from the Special Olympics inspiring, courageous human beings, often terribly nice, always humble. My few interactions with the Special Olympics and Olympians have always been remarkable, humbling, etc etc all that good-sounding bullshit. I don't think anyone could say the same about the CrossFit Gaymes, so, please, don't juxtapose them.

today is submission day for the open and already people are taking to FB to complain about the gaymes website. It should be fun watching the fb page fill up with comments and complaints about the website in the next 8 hours. It looks like a lot of the same complaints as last year. People are having troubles with the website and they are not receiving any support from HQ.
We at CrossFit Briga havent been able to do the afifiliate manager process. We have send our concern to the support team but we have not received any instructions and the deadline for submit the results is near. Please help!
Hi, we have just validated an athlete's score but now it's showing as withdrawn. What could be the reason for this?
