Hey Alena and gang - Well I made it to the top but missed my goal time of 20 minutes by 3.5 minutes. The interval training at the Nugget just did not prepare me for 69 straight stories (788 vertical feet, 1311 steps)with all my gear and on air. I finished 25th in my age group out of 55. Ah yes, thats why they make next year. SFD finished 7 out of 139 teams. We raised a lot of money for a great cause. If interested I attached the link below. See you guys - have fun with Jane today! http://www.leukemia-lymphoma.org/all_page?item_id=6012
Gene - Congratulations and job well done. And for a great cause nonetheless. I participated in Team In Training on behalf of the LLS last year & raised $4,500 to go toward blood cancer research. The irony is that my event occurred 2 weeks after my wife's aunt was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. Thank you for supporting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. People such as yourself are making a difference & I am hopeful that we will see a CURE for blood cancers in my lifetime.
Have fun with this WOD today everyone. I am taking a Crossfit intermission so I can hopefully get re-energized and motivated. Looking to be back soon! Cheers.
Gene, That is so great though! Next year we will have to find somewhere else that has more stairs, maybe we could judt build you some. :-) What a great chance to raise money for a good cause, and stay fit yourself! Thanks Gene, your an inspiration to us all.
Sorry guys, as it stands from last night Mel is on his rest day. No wagers to be placed this day. But, if I were a betting woman, I would take Mel to finish damn close to a sub 8. :-) I think I would go with 8:17
Come on, get your butt in here and let the sheer support of the group motivate you! Well, either way we miss your astonishing times on the board, and your overall good cheer you bring to the box!
Phenomenal performance, Chandler and Jay! "GI Jane" is really one of those challenging metcons that defies or eludes explanation. It is a metabolically demanding WOD. You beat the gym record with your hard work. Congratulations!
Again I was bummed out by my time. I felt super slow and out of it. I have a feeling that I have been consuming to much alcohol and that is seriously throwing me off. Why am I so off?

Time 10:44
Where you guys at (Chandler, Jay, Mel, Drew,& Travis). I'm calling you all out. Come with your games faces on.
Drew I saw your name down for yesterdays WOD with no time. Did I finally beat you????
Good job Gene. Your the man!!! You're a better man than me going up all those danm stairs. I would have cried just looking at them!!
8:52
She is always a very nasty girl. I generally get that wonderful pukie feeling during this one!
10:10
I probably would have put it on cruise control and finished in about 10:45, but I had a little extra motivation.
She is a Dirty Girl
Anyone else want to wager that Mel will do this sub 8:00?
I certainly would not bet against him.
I will wager a gentleman's dollar that mel finishes in the 8-9 range.

Geez Mel, you are the man!
Travis - Where are you??? Motivation???

:-)
Great job Gene! This was an awsome cause! At least you will have the experience to look back on and base your future training on.
Petition to have Mel do "GI Jane" in lieu of (or in addition to, crazy SOB) tomorrow's workout:
1. Drew Canavero
I wanna see sub 8:00!
2. Alena Yancey
Oh, and by the way - G.I. Jane is a bad bad girl!!! That was a miserable WOD!
Alena's on board!
However, I think we'll need more than two people to make a compelling argument.
Phenomenal performance, Chandler
and Jay!
"GI Jane" is really one of those
challenging metcons that defies
or eludes explanation.
It is a metabolically demanding WOD.
You beat the gym record with
your hard work.
Congratulations!
Gene-
Your compassion to serve others
through your work and play have
touched a lot lives. It is an inspiration to all of us.
"Try not to become a man of success
but a man of value"
-Albert Einstein-
By the way, did 30 muscle ups this evening when I got home from work to fulfill my needs.
thanks Mel I appreciate the support!
Jane whooped my butt and my hands are freakin sore! Great WOD!
Great Job to Angie - love that you pushed yourself all the way to the end! :)
Great Job Gene! You should be so very proud of your hard work and dedication for such an amazing cause!
See you psychos tonight! :)
Again I was bummed out by my time. I felt super slow and out of it. I have a feeling that I have been consuming to much alcohol and that is seriously throwing me off. Why am I so off?
11:59 should have been under Ten minutes
Either way Jane kicked my ass.
