This WoD is in Honor of Oscar Pistorious who has overcome a birth defect that has caused him to have his lower legs amputated. Destined a life of hardships, he overcame adversity by playing competitively in many sports including water polo, rugby, and now track and field (Athletics). After just missing qualification standards for the 2008 Beijing Games, Oscar put up an Olympic Standard time gaining him a spot on the South African Olympic team running the 400m sprint and 4x400m relay. He is no longer a Para Olympian, he is now an Olympian. Full background here

How many people in your class that you attend regulary have you hung out with outside of the box? Had dinner? Know there family? Went to a movie or even Crossfit event?
That’s easy! just about everybody from the 8:30 class , we are family,
we even have a Christmas breakfast!
and friends
A bunch of trainers and crossfitters came to the 2012 New Years party at my house. Hope to repeat it this year and have everybody come.
Zero. 10:30 and 12:30 classes seems like a great group, but everyone is super quiet.
I joined to get in shape and make friends. I am fun, I swear! Wish I could make it to the 8:30. Sounds like a great group!
On limited occasions, but not enough. More often than not, the hour at the box is the extent of social time, as the rest of my time is consumed with work, being a good and present husband & father (including a never ending list of sports and activities), limited sleep, and stressing out about how behind I am on everything. Should make it a point to do more.
Leeeeeeeeeeanne…today’s a PERFECT day to plug Thursday. Got a sitter lined up
5 rounds; 8 reps w/ Jose Y
(Me: 22 reps at RX, 6 at 275)
Props to newbie young gun Chris for going to work on the DL (rx) today. Nice job kiddo.
QOD:
The AM social at Yardhouse 2 weeks ago was the 1st time I hung out with most of the people who came. We had a great time and laughed a lot and I’m very much looking forward to the next one (which is tomorrow if i am not mistaken- OJO LEANNE!!!)
I spend much of my free time with my PRX Boys (having met many of their respective families, gone to their homes, vacationed together, dried the tears, held their hair back, sutured wounds, reset bones, robbed banks, buried bodies, driven get away cars, … everyday stuff.
8 rounds (4 each for my partner Oscar and I) @ 225 lb DL
I’ve net a lot of my good friends through my morning crossfit class and hang out regularly with them.
The topic today is a good one as tomorrow (Thursday) a bunch of us from the box are getting together for my birthday, #42! We are meeting at Yard House at 8, at the back where the high top tables are. All from CFG are welcome!
ALERT ! We need to be there at 7:30 so they can sit everyone down :0) and answering the question YES I have gone to dinner with our groupie at the yard house and I just started about a month ago :0) .
yes! Stacey and she isn’t even in my 5:30 am class lol
8rounds ( Renata and I)
Thanks for the invite, Leanne. I’ll definitely swing by .
3.5 rds @ 275, that shit was heavy! Partnered up with young buck Alex! Buddy don’t get down you are improving everyday, Crossfit is as much about skill as it is about strength , you are working hard everyday and it will all come together I promise !
QOD: I have hung out with quite a few of my Crossfit friends, and my daily person, that friend you share everything with I met at Crossfit , thanks Jorge for being that person for me, I know it has to be a burden! I ain’t easy! I love the Pride Rx crew and we have had some great parties and outings together. I recently had Coffee at Gal and Kali’s house and am happy with my growing Bromance there. Hung with Emilio at the AM Social and love that guy and would live to spend more time getting to know him. I have not spent any time with Dom outside the box which breaks my heart, lord knows I love him. But mainly lately I guess I hang with Brad, we are both obsessed with Crossfit and can talk about it endlessly. We spend quite a bit of time talking about allod you and your progress.
Much love, buddy. I’m glad CFG has afforded me the opportunity of meeting and getting to know people I wouldn’t otherwise even meet.
You, me and Dom are going to shock the world in less than a month–”Team 129″, our combined ages!
5 rounds
Tough wod…I think I did 4 rounds.
Yes I have socialized with people from the box. My husband and I have gone out with friends we made in the 8pm class, the besito crew. Unfortunately I can’t make it to Leanne’s birthday shindig but am hoping to hang with people from the 6:30 am class soon.
How does everyone feel about a beach day for CFG? No WOD, just hanging out.
Gotta have a WOD
Yes to beach.
Let’s do it!
If Brad is included you KNOW there will be a wod.
I did a beach wod with the IMT crew a couple of years ago and it was awesome. After that wod, it was great to dive into the ocean. We have to get a group and do this ASAP before summer is over. I love my 6:30a team! See you tomorrow for Leanne’s pre-bday! Make sure to get there by 7:30p!!! 
The CrossFit crew I hang out with lives like they WOD, everything to the extreme. Fantastic! Carpe diem bitches!!!
You can’t find that just anywhere!!
3 rds + 1 rep. Did the first 6 reps at 315# but it was just too heavy to keep up with the pace of this WOD. Scaled down to 275. Good job today Matt.
I have made some phenomenal friendships through Crossfit. There are a lot of Crossfit couples so the boys get to hang out while the women gossip about what the rest of you are wearing. Yes, I’m talking about you.
The 5:30 crew rocks both inside and outside the box. Special shout out to Brian who, thanks to Crossfit, is my BFFAEAE…
PS. Carlos – the feeling is mutual.
4+3 rounds @ 105.
I see some people outside the box, but not nearly enough as I’d want to. When the kids are older I’m definitely going to try to fix that! I love seeing everyone at the box! It energizes me to handle the rest of my day.
On Friday, 8 pm, a bunch of us are meeting at “WillCall” at 8 PM for my bday. Please stop by!!
WillCall (across form American Airlines Arena)
700 Northeast 2nd Avenue

Oooooooooh, Brad….send me your address. I’m kidnapping you for tomorrow’s hangout! NO EXCUSES. Won’t be the same wo you there.
TO ALL, just to reiterate, so there is no confusion, tomorrow, Thursday, at 7:30 at Yard House is open to all members of the CFG family, AM, PM, coaches, newbies, EVERYONE!!! This is a little get together to celebrate my wife’s 42nd birthday, and she looks fabulous in no small measure because I dragged her away from her Mickey Mouse gym to a real one with the greatest community there is. So if you wear the black and yellow proudly, you’re invited. I hope to see you all there.
3 rounds, 5 reps @ 275lbs. Weight was heavy, and my hands are shot from doing 2000 pull ups yesterday.
Reading the QOD while I’m waiting for Stacey to meet me for dinner… How appropriate! I’ve hung out with a bunch of people from CrossFit and chat it up almost everyday after the 8:30 class. And if waiting on CrossFitters at my job counts then I can bump the bunch to dozens!!!
3.5 rounds today @115 … Brad, thanks for the push as always!
2 rounds plus 10 reps. First 2 sets at 275, last set at 315.
4 rounds + 4 DL @ 100.. super light due to my destroyed hands from yesterday’s wod….
QOD: I must admit I haven’t always been too social, I only hang out on a personal basis with one person I met at Crossfit which attends none of the classes at CFG lol
I just hang out outside Brad’s house and when he goes out I sneak in and rearrange his closets just to freak him out. Is that social?
totally anti social! , right up Brad’s alley!
I had the honor of being the birthday girls partner today. Together we did 8 rounds at 125. I’d like to shake the ladies hands that were able to do 225… Damn
Also, we have a great group going at 6:30 and I’m
confident that we will make outside handouts more regular.
A bunch! Definitely a great group of people! Just had a great dinner with Katie…80% paleo
Went to NYC and met up with Melissa a couple weeks ago! Dinner with the 630amers tomorrow night! Definitely lots of fun times with many of the other crossfitters 
Happy birthday Leanne!! Wish I could be there to celebrate with you but am in Chicago this week
. It’s my first week off from CF since I started 7 months ago!! Going through withdrawal….
QOD: hang out with my fellow and former 7:15ers and Friday Night Lighters pretty often. We try and do something outside the box semi regularly. I’ve been fortunate to meet some very cool people that I am glad to call friends
had a tough day ..thanks Carlos for the motivation and for keeping me on my toes…i cant say i really hung out w anyone from crossfit but have seem a few getting trashed at my job wont mention any names…
