This was a really interesting twist on a very familiar workout. Even the 'I Hate Fran Club' members liked it. Another well thought out, super creative workout that definitely delivered! Thanks CFHQ.

Great workout everybody! Great job Caitlin, not only a super fast finish, but you, Teresa, and Todd all nailed Objective #1... *UNBROKEN*  Thrusters, and Pull-ups, start to finish. Those are outstanding efforts that motivate everyone to keep pushing. Thanks!

Along with the standing objective to go unbroken, we threw out another challenge: How many Burpees could be accumulated during the 5:00 minute rest breaks? Taj brings home the trophy with 15 Burpees, and Joan is runner up with 1 Burpee. Great job you two. Sometimes just being willing to step up and enter the race ensures victory.

We did see a lot of  good Thrusters, and Pull-ups; the good news is more people than ever are getting their Pull-ups without resorting to the band or the rings. Joan, Juan, Taj, Tommy- your hard work is paying off. Be pleased, not satisfied.

The 5:00 minute rest between rounds turned this into an interval workout, allowing us to recover fully and attack each round all ahead full power. Could you imagine how different this workout would have been without the rest? How about a 5:00 minute rest between rounds for FGB? How profoundly would that change the outcome? Interesting stuff we might just have to try during the next Winter Circus.

Thanks for another great day at CFSF.

"Great moments are born from great opportunity. And that's what you have here tonight boys. That's what you've earned here tonight. One game. If we played 'em ten times they might win nine. But not this game. Not tonight. Tonight, we skate with 'em.

Tonight, we stay with 'em and we shut them down because we can! Tonight, we are the greatest hockey team in the world. You were born to be hockey players, every one of ya. And you were meant to be here tonight. This is your time. Their time- is done. It's over

I'm sick and tired of hearin' about what a great hockey team the Soviets have. Screw 'em! This is your time. Now go out there and take it!"
