This was a great workout and an ingenious way to ensure a winning point total and fastest time, as well as quantify our work... If you marked your time.

The CrossFit fire breathers reached between 185-195 points at prescription, which is amazing. We scaled the Snatch and had some really good point totals as well. We like to see a nice Snatch. If you misjudged anything, chances are your Snatch got ugly.

We love Burpees at CFSF and get them regularly. Another super potent exercise, the Burpee can drink fuel faster than a dalmatian can eat a hot dog. That's fast. Believe me. Even while getting hammered, we maintained the integrity of the movement- great job everyone.

Here's an interesting fact: 5.7 million. The number of Burpees collectively completed by 60,000 athletes from around the world as they participated in the first workout of the 2012 CrossFit Open 12.1: Seven minutes of Burpees.

Our annual St. Patrick's Day workout is a mere week away. There's a sign up sheet on the table. This is always a total blast, and we've talked with the Paleo people and gotten a one-day reprieve. So it's ok. Beer, Burgers, and Burpees, v.5, Sunday, March 17, 12:30.

Friday is a very well deserved rest day. Do just that. Rest and recover. Never underestimate the value of rest. Even the masochists need rest. We build when we rest. We tear down when we don't.

Thanks for another great day at CFSF.

CrossFit isn't life or death. It's more than that.
