=D>

i say leave it...i'm sure we are all adults here... u can choose to buy it or not...i'll wear that 1% shirt with pride as a reminder to push myself that much harder and that much faster during my next W.O.D....LONG LIVE ROGUE FITNESS !!!.....no disrespect to anyone !!!

Yeah, sure, no 1%'er would dare mess with that guy. Just look at him.

We'll see if he stands behind that statement after he gets passed around the anal rape circle at a real 1% canyon run.

Y'all are overreacting. I'm sure that most OMC dudes are men of fine humor and goodwill and any misunderstandings can be easily explained away, and everyone will get along fine.

Yep, they do look like upstanding and pleasant men to rip off.

Sorry, but who the hell says "My goal is to finish" about a 5K?

Me goddammit!

The journalists words, "Triathlete paid me for the story, but told me yesterday that it will never go to print because " it does not fit our new demographic target" -- which is the beginner triathlete."

The source: http://www.facebook.com/#!/Anaerobic?v= ... 2612546970

I like how this went:

Maybe they won't print it because CFE doesn't seem to get you anything but DNFs?

That made me LOL and then I saw this a few lines down:

Oh, dont start something you cant back boy...

How about your Quad Dipsea race in 2009? Or your recent run in Death Valley. Oh wait? The Death Valley run doesn't count since you weren't actually competing against others.

Looks like Thomas hurt BMacNCheeze's feelings to where he's no longer his Facebook friend. Funny how this happened before Thomas could actually 'back' what he 'started'. Looks like BitchMack can DNF criticism.

[Holland Oates]

I want to thank CFE and BMac anc Cheese for taking over from HQ and upping the douche factor. It's really upped the fire of my hate.

This is the 1st annual CrossFit Endurance Series! The CFE series offer a challenging 5k 10K, 20k and team race. This race is 100% on looped trail run with hills and more hills. Along the course there will be ample aid stations.
5k $60
10k $80
20k $100
Team $500; CFE Members $335


Some thoughts on this:
1. $60 for a 5k is hilarity.
2. I'm sick of seeing BMack's bare chest every time I open something with CFE on it.
3. I hope an actual competitive runner wins this.
4. Shucks, if only I were a CFE member I would save $165 for my whole team.
5. Please tell me the aid stations are for the 20k only. Please.

Looks like he changed the pricing. He must be reading the Couch Thread.

Race Fees:

5k-$40
10k-$60
20k-$80

"Solo" Team Challenge-$125
Team-$500; CFE Teams-$335

There are some hardcore ultrarunners I know that could potentially run between 80-100k within their 10 hour limit & on mountainous terrain and possibly win the 5k and 10k the day before. But that's what happens when you're a specialized insect. But they'll never play BMacNCheeze's game unless he's willing to provide a fat cash prize like The North Face Endurance Challenge's $10,000 or if he was actually a respectable person in the ultra community. But since 95% of most ultrarunners think he's a fucking hosebag and you know he won't ever be able to get enough scratch to have a big enough prize purse, his challenge will never have any genuine elite athletes showing up to show them what an insect can do.

[JohnnyBadAss]

He doesn't want genuine athletes showing up. He wants people that think finishing a 5k is a feat and he'll showcase the awesomeness of @FE.

Glad to see BMac is taking advice from the couch thread...

I know it's been said, but Dirty Diva should be in charge of CFE.

http://trailgirl.blogspot.com/

She's finishing races that BMacnCheezy couldn't even hope to finish. 4 day, no support runs, etc. Pacing friends for 50 miles and shit, not even a race she's doing, just helping someone out. That's pretty impressive.

I may be wrong, but I don't think Catra could give a rat's ass about managing CFE. She just lives to run, and isn't on a trip to tell other people what to do. If she did though, I suspect her programming would give a lot of endurance athletes a big boost, because she actually knows WTF she's doing. Basically, she walks the walk, or rather, runs the run.

Isn't CFE basically BMAC's personal vanity project to show us all how awesome he is? That's playing out okay so far, isn't it?

Spot on. Based on her blog, I believe she'd have people do more BW exercises that are muscular-endurance based, lots of core work, a bit of lifting and kb work, plyo drills, and working towards being able to run an average of 50-60 miles a week (peaking at 100-120 miles before certain key events).

Speaking of vanity, from the @FE site:

Triathlete Magazine paid a journalist to write about a few of the above athletes experiences using CF /CFE as their training protocol for IMLP.They decided not to print the article because their "Demographic has CHANGED"?. Let Triathlete know what you think: DudeWhoIsGoingToHaveATonOfAnnoyingBMacNCheezeFanBoysEmailingHim @competitorgroup.com

These same fanboys will never actually get a subscription to Triathlete Magazine in the first place and would probably never get one again.

Haha. It just might be that...if one considers things like 13-hour Ironman triathlon finishes awesome. When I was in the triathlon club in college, we had three guys go do their first one anywhere from 10 to 12 hours.

If mediocrity and below is awesome, which in @FE it seems to be, then it's hitting the mark.

[WildGorillaMan]

I met my old boss and a former office mate for lunch on Monday to talk about industry business, and as an aside I happened to show them what was up with my WildGorillaMedia venture, which they thought was awfully cool.

My whole point in bringing this up is that my old boss is a bona fide elite (not eleeet) triathlete. As in: Top 10 finishes in his age group, and high overall placings, and both at honest to god big events like the Hawaii Ironman and others, not at some podunk minitri. Serious training mileage, takes his vacations at high level training camps, knows almost everybody in the upper tiers of the sport, and helps and advises local triathlon club members on their training.

All that, and yet the first he'd ever hear of either Crossfit or Crossfit Endurance was when I told him about them on Monday.

That should be a big wakeup call to BMAC (against whom I have nothing personal, I'm just entertained by his hubris), and any other HQ bigwig (because we all know you're reading this) that there's more to winning hearts and minds and going about Brand Building than just talking shit and having your fanboys and attack chihuauas argue about modal domains on Triathlon forums.

Maybe the devil's advocate here, but if someone told me that I'd finish an Ironman in 13 hours but by only doing a third of the training volume ...

From what I can tell based on her blog, the reason she's good is because she runs a lot and she is literally addicted to ultras. She wrote on her blog that she used to be a druggie and now is an ultra addict instead. I could be wrong but I really doubt her CF training does anything at all for her ultra training. I know that cross training done properly can definitely help you do an ultra, but in her case, I'm doubtful. Does she do anything besides a few pushups, squats, and KB stuff? Not knocking her training, I'm just wondering if she actually does WODs or substantial cross-training regularly.

fucking HAWT

crazy bitches are the best in bed



and she is clearly crazy:

I am excited to be out there. I will come home after the race for two days then head out on my Tahoe rim trail 165 mile adventure. Looking forward to all the fun!

It's ok. Here is something else to focus your hate on:

Anyway, this dude is already wearing one of the shirts:

[TerryB]

Holy shit. They are really wearing one percenter patches??? That is grounds for beating/murder as in a "no, seriously" way. They are fucking stupid.

[Yes I Have Balls]

If you just want 'to finish', you're better off with Team in Training.

Matthew - got anything other than anecdotal evidence to show that CFE is giving LSD guys "a run for their money?" Cause remember the purpose of entering a race is to win it, not just get the shirt.

I think they should accessorize the shirt with this:

Yeah, it'll cover the broken nose and the wired-shut jaw after a serious ass-whuppin' from an MC group or two.

Actually they deleted the pic. Hopefully they got the hint that it wasn't a good idea.

Hell yes, Gorilla. Nice find.
