BJJ Will and his dog.....wait a second....that's Chong's dog, Lightning!
Will is a total animal lover, which is totally cool, but you all still have to post a caption to comments for this photo. Here is mine:
"Last call!"
***************
Angela Lim will be hosting an open Oly lifting session from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm. Anyone from any affiliate that has taken one of her clinics can attend. The cost is $20 and you can pay when you arrive.
***************
A few reminders:
Sign up for the One World Member Appreciation BBQ! We need to have a good idea of who is going to be there by the end of this weekend. Bring your family and friends!
Register as a spectator for the Crossfit Games!!!!

WOD 6/18/2009
Complete ten 50 meter sprints. Rest 45-60 seconds between efforts.
Programmed by Chong
Coach's Corner: Sticking to the animal theme... You need to run each one of these 50m sprints like a rabid pitbull is chasing you and nipping at your ass! The rest time is basically the time it takes you to walk back to the starting line. Stretch before this workout and stretch after. Don't get too crazy about your pre-sprint stretching. I have seen many elite sprinters warm-up and stretch before a big race and still blowout a hammie or some other muscle. Drink lots of water BEFORE you attempt this workout. I always notice that the days I don't drink a lot of water, I end up with muscle strains. No science behind that...just personal experience. Go get it boys and girls!

BTW- 50m is 164 feet (1m=3.2f). At One World, it is about the distance from the roll-up door to the storm drain. There is a rollameter to measure out the distance by the front desk.
***************
Usain Bolton of Jamaica is the world record holder at 100m. Check out this video. Seriously, he pulls up at the end to bask in the glory of kicking everyone's ass. This dude is FAST!
The athletic ability of the 100m/200m/400m sprinters is amazing. I don't doubt for a moment that any one of the competitors in this video would walk into One World and perform well in any workout. Elite sprinters are super strong, and they can crush all the short distances we typically run in Crossfit (200m/400m/800m). Wouldn't it be awesome to see Usain Bolt give Fran a whirl?

Also, Playoff Beard clears up a mystery for me as well :-)
Posted by: Billy | June 18, 2009 at 21:54
Eric,
You are the first person online to ask me about that!
I'm a huge San Jose Sharks hockey fan...fanatical even. So I grow a playoff beard every year for luck. I know, I know...hasn't worked out so well has it? Anyway, a few people at work started to call me that, so I started to sign my posts on the Crossfit main site accordingly. I guess it just kind of stuck.
Hope that clears up the mystery :-)

Right now we're slated to open right on Village Parkway, at the North East corner where 580 & 680 intersect. We're waiting for the final stages of the permit process to push through. So we're hoping for later this summer.

Will B - where is your new box in Dublin and when do you plan on opening?
Posted by: Rodil - Diablo CrossFit | June 18, 2009 at 15:28
Hey Jeremy what is the "Playoff Beard" thing about ?
Posted by: Eric | June 18, 2009 at 13:48
I LOVE dogs!...and I love anyone who loves dogs (and any other animals, for that matter)! Yes, I have a lot of love...no jokes you crazies!
Freddy...you are WAY cuter than me...and a little stronger ;o)

No caption but Lightning will be chewing his paw off when he wakes up next to Will in the morning.

I don't have a clever caption for the photo, but the sunlight glowing through that bottle of Newcastle looks almost angelic.
Mmmm, beer...nectar of the gods.
Posted by: Jeremy "Playoff Beard" Reed | June 18, 2009 at 13:22
Caption: In attempting a PR for "picking up bitches" Will made a valiant effort, but was, ultimately, less than successful.
Posted by: John | June 18, 2009 at 12:13
Haha Will! That was a good one. Anyone of those girls are better to look at than me anyway. :-)
Posted by: freddy c. | June 18, 2009 at 11:45
In theory I have have a sub three minute Fran. In fact, in theory, I have also video taped it as per Freddy's requirment.
Posted by: Jason | June 18, 2009 at 11:42
Freddy, just thought it'd be fun. I am very chill and cumbaya. But if you don't wanna participate, than we can always get someone of equal crossfit stature to replace you such as Rita, Allison, Anna, etc.. You ladies available?
Posted by: Will | June 18, 2009 at 11:09
Eric..... aren't I always drinking?
What does it mean to "kind of" PR? And "in theory" PR?
You know I love ya brother...

Posted by: Eric | June 18, 2009 at 09:24
Nice work on the lifting, Eric. Not so sure about the spelling. I am hoping to get down there later this afternoon. We can talk about what mid and lower ab really mean.
Posted by: angela | June 18, 2009 at 09:20
Yes Freddy COLLAR bone!!! Mr Smart ass.
I can always tell when you have been drinking :)
Posted by: Eric | June 18, 2009 at 08:44

Caption: "FINALLY!!! Man, getting this dog's urine sample into this bottle was TOUGH!"
Posted by: James | June 18, 2009 at 00:50
Awww, I like the pic! Happy human, cute dog, beer - all sorts of good stuff! Nothing like a guy who can drink like a pro, kill you with one arm, and snuggle a furry creature- what a great combination!
Posted by: MEL (Chong's baby mama) | June 18, 2009 at 00:36
Caption: "Oh Lightning..I love you sooo much! I wish I could take you home with me! You complete me!"
Will, that's what I love about you! You are a bad ass M*f@ jiujitsu guy but have the biggest heart too!
Take care of your shoulder, get healthy and come back to the gym!
Posted by: cheryl | June 17, 2009 at 23:33
and one more thing, There has been some good energy around the gym the past couple weeks, Good stuff!!
Posted by: Eric | June 17, 2009 at 23:19
Will....what exactly do you have in mind as a workout that we would not be ready to perform? I figure if we all continue to train hard individually, we will be very well prepared to compete as a team. Basically, its going to be all about completing a certain amount of work in a certain amount of time right? I appreciate where you are coming from, but I don't think getting everyone together before the comp is a big deal. Don't sweat it...just be ready to fucking bring it come competition day. Chill out bro. I assure you that everyone on the team will be ready to rock it come competition time. Until then, just train hard.
Posted by: freddy c._one world | June 17, 2009 at 23:16
ALright boys and girls. As far as the team workout goes, so far it's looking as if Sundays, Mondays, & Tuesdays tend to work best, but I haven't heard from everyone. Freddy, Chong, Brian need to chime in so we can nail something down hopefully.
Posted by: Will | June 17, 2009 at 22:57
Hey Eric...aren't you an LVN? WTF is a "colar" bone? HAHAHA!
YOU ARE THE STRONGEST DUDE AT ONE WORLD!
But.....
When are you going to post a new 400m run PR? Your strength lifts don't interest me anymore....hehehe ;-)~
Posted by: freddy c._one world | June 17, 2009 at 22:50
I dont really have a caption, yet there's just something about that photo I can't put my finger on. I don't know if strange looking laugh on your face coupled with the beer, the overzelaous hug you're giving poor Lightning or maybe it's the worried look on the poor dog's face. I think really what it comes down to is this: "Note to self keep Will well away from my dog."
Btw, I'm just joking so don't kick my ass Will.

BTW I SAY MANY TIMES THAT I LIKE ANIMALS MORE THEN PEOPLE
