It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that things are difficult.
– Seneca quote
Thursday is “Ladies’ Night” here in Brooklyn, but that doesn’t mean men aren’t invited. Everyone’s welcome to come down and test their luck with one of CrossFit‘s special “Girls.” The Girl workouts are benchmarks which we use to test our athletes and measure our results against other CrossFitters around the world.
Why girl names? Coach Glassman says, “Anything that leaves you flat on your back looking up at the sky asking ‘WTF happened to me?’ deserves a female name.” Adjust your expectations accordingly!

On another note folks, I am doing a race from September 16 – 19th & I wanted to see if anyone else was interested in joining my team! (we need a few more runners)
it’s called Reach the Beach & it’s a ~ 200 mile relay race in NH. We usually run with 9 runners & each runner runs 4 legs that vary in distance.
If you’re at all interested, get back to me! eddiebgjr@gmail.com
You won’t regret it!
I’m looking @ you ANNEMAL!

Good Sam, Stix, Bacon & Tyler
Thanks for the push!!
Christine, RX (175#)
11:01 I think
The row and the deadlifts just felt like a break from those damn box jumps!
Christine at #175 (7 pounds over bodyweight)
10:31
Maintained sub 2 pace on the row – good push from Keith on the last 500m. Frustrated I broke the last set of deadlifts, but ultimately happy with my time.
Nice job on Fran, Blanco! Way to push it.
15.14 @ 205# at Dartmouth Globogym
Villagers were terrified.
Christine: 16:11 Rx 125#
Thanks Keith, for letting me go over the 15 min mark.
The box jumps were easily the hardest, but the most weight I’d deadlifted before today was 95#.
Chrsitine @ 178, 9:47, may have shorted some of the box jumps. Also, started 4 seconds behind.
Dark side.
Make that “Christine”
Bodyweight 200# 11:01 Rx’d. First girl wod Ive been able to do rx’d since joining CFV and still have a headache 2 hrs later, need to get my wind back. Great job to everyone especially Noah!!
“Christine”
3 rounds for time of:
500m Row
12 Deadlifts, bodyweight
21 Box Jumps, 24″
BW=195, I scaled up to 205 to compare with my last time.
10:42 PR by 30 seconds.
Man Noah, you crazy!
Nice work anakin – you take this one. I’ll have my revenge…even if it means another shirtless hose down sesh. But we’ll need Gregg for that.
14:03 rx @ 226, this kicked my ass.
12:14 @ 170
a PR by only 16sec, but I’ll take it
10:59 Christine. Chris and I continue to be simulacrums of fitness – If I was his size I’d be as fit as Chris. If Chris was my size he’d be as fit as me.
I think I can knock 20-30 seconds of Christine next time. Noah was a freak of rowingness today.
