First Sprint Triathlon - Female only race
Hey, I'm hoping to get some insight from those who have previously completed a sprint triathlon. I have one on Sept 30th 2012, and it will be my first. Any advice or helpful hints? I think my biggest worry would be transitions, which I know you're supposed to practice, and the bike to run portion. It's an indoor swim then…

Color Run
Anyone doing the Color Run in Philly?!
Shoes
Anyone get the new Reebok Nano's? Made for Crossfitters by Crossfitters? Unsure if its the same hype as Inov-8. A lot of people still have those. We have a few people now using the Reebok's that swear by them. Any thoughts? Comments?
How not to use a smith machine ...
Pointless machine to start with, unless you want to do inverted rows, however this doesn't appear to be a normal use of the Smith Machine! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wxn0BYvIthI
Stop the hating
I tend to follow Crossfit Lisbeth for her words of wisdom and support as a focused crossfitter, HOWEVER, you can apply what she says to any form of exercise you choose. We're all here for the same reasons, to lead a healthy lifestyle (whatever you want to define that as). Stop criticising people for the method of exercise…
Crossfit Lisbeth
From her WOD (words of the day) made me think of all our haters out there (RachelNSO) If you don’t CrossFit, I’m cool with that. If you CrossFit, I’m even happier. But, there are some folks out there obsessed with hating CrossFit and CrossFitters. That’s really funny when you think about it . . . and pathetic. I don’t care…
Crossfit and I know it
Great re-make to "Sexy and I know it" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Y5q59FKf7k makes me laugh, everytime. I also like the "**** Crossfitters say" but there's def more they could add to it!
Paleo Challenge
We usually do one in our box every now and again - and I know MaggieMay said about doing one starting Jan 1st. I'd def look to the CrossFitter and others for some guidance in making the switch. Would we be interested in creating one with our group? Does any one have experience with doing challenges on here, cause I don't.
Carrot Train to Crazy Town
Great article for all you people who shy away from carrots! http://whole9life.com/2010/04/crazytown2/
Why CrossFit Works.
Yeah we all know this - but I really enjoyed this article. http://crossfitlisbeth.com/category/daily-archives/ Then click on 'Confessions of a globo-gym addict' Speacial thanks to Shizzman for posting another article on his FB page. Creeping pays off =) haha
Running into Trouble
I know, personally, I'm guilty of thinking like this. I love strength training and have accepted that I'm not going to get huge - but I'm still having a hard time breaking up with the treadmill. In reality I'm probably pitting my body against itself and that's why I'm not seeing as much progress as I'd like. Feel free to…
Terror at work?
Have you ever worked with someone who stresses you out? Creates an unsafe work environment? Has been given multiple "chances" to correct his violently verbal outbursts without any penalities? Have you expressed your concern to your supervisors, upper management, or HR departments? We currently work on teams, and an opening…
Paleo
I'm sure people already started a post but I'm too lazy to search it. So get over it =) Have you done in the past or currently following Paleo guidelines for eating? If so, your thoughts? Did you allow items to be consumed that are usually excluded (which ones). Did you feel full? Did you like it? What did a normal day…
Am I just whining?
Here we go. So I've always been critical of my lower half, I have an *kitten* for a "white girl" - and those who are on my 'friends' list may have seen the post earlier. Going from the gym to the barn (in riding pants and tank top) I stopped by a scene of a fire to take some pictures for my fire department. Well in the…
I have an addiction...
To Reese's Peanut Butter Cups ... or really anything made by Reese's. And sneakers.
Hey
Been using the app on my ipod for a month or 2 and have branched out to the website; especially since most of my time is at work and there isn't a WIFI connection there. I look forward to getting support as well as supporting other members in the journey. I've always been active and have actually decided to take the steps…
