WoD - Friday 14th December, 2018

That’s it, we are a week away!! One week from the wildest party this side of Nagasaki. Now even though you will all likely be waaaaaaay too drunk to work your phones, or…be having so much fun that you forget to, but please….if everyone remembers to take one picture each, then we will have a BUNCH of cool banter for the blog!

Additionally and due to the above fact that all of you will likely be so drunk that you are unable to facilitate any form of anything the day following.
I have therefore and unfortunately for the one person who wants to attend, decided to close the gym the day following - Saturday 22nd. Reduced times will also be in operation on Friday, meaning that you ladies will have plenty of time to make yourselves look wonderful. See below:

Friday 21st December: 12:00 - 17:30
WoD Class: 12:30 - 13:30
WoD Class: 16:30 - 17:30
Saturday 22nd December: CLOSED

This is a day late, but unfortunately, at the time of yesterday's post I had no idea what was going of what was going on with these four badasses! 
Huge Congratulations to Prodders and Bri, and Conners and Suller, for showing up and whooping ass at the Pairs inferno this weekend in Cardiff.
A great showing from four legends! Most importantly, at no point throughout the weekend (not to my knowledge anyway) was Conroy found having to have a cheeky "lie down" after any of the workouts and was NOT, at any point in time found incapacitated either underneath any vendors stalls, nor in the front passenger seat of a car! Therefore he won!

Take a well earned rest and get back in tomorrow for this shitfest...

I hope you had a fun filled weekend of resting those tired legs! Suller is programming this week, and you might well need them! What you definitely will need are rested abs and freshly filed hands. Get rid of those calluses as you know...Suller just loves a Toes To Bar. 

Before that though, get in some pulling practice.

Welcome to another week of fun filled, frolicking fitness!

Congratulations to those ass kicking weekend warriors, who represented at IONs pair competition; battling away over the course of the day and doing so with your heads held high and a proud CrossFit Cardiff logo on your back! 
I'm sure the crowd of enthusiast supporters who came to cheer you on, drowned out the noise of any other affiliate's support crew, as they are clearly used to screaming over Suller's impressive diaphragm. 

Anyway, Monday is upon us and you want to know what awaits you hey. Without further ado...

None of you are going to bed before seeing what 18.5 is are you, aside from maybe you Melski, I mean you don't want to be all tired out for a weekend on the razz now do you?! 

The rest of us are more than likely excitedly sat on the edge of our sofa's, eagerly awaiting Dave Castro's release of 18.5, the final (or is it?)* piece of the puzzle! 

*It's not the final piece of our puzzle...this bank holiday we will be having one more final Team Showdown. A fulfilled and meat fuelled event to cap off the 2018 CrossFit Games Open season.

Teams will be able to choose who performs each section of a continuous workout. Gaining "points" for rather than bragging rights on the whiteboard...just a bit of a laugh. An old fashion face off with buddies, followed by a frolic or two out on the tiles.  

Further details will be released throughout the week leading up to the event in a nail biting and exciting build up. Watch this space and have an awesome weekend please! 

CrossFit Cardiff WoD

Every minute, for 15 long and grippy minutes, perform:
5 Pull Ups
4 Chest to Bar
3 Bar Muscle Ups

All without falling off please! If you are still able to grip a whiteboard marker, could you write whether you were successful or not please...

NOW, rumour has it that 18.5 will be hell on pull up earth, but who actually knows. Should that be the case, and only if it is the case, the training team will reserve the right to change the workout, lastminute.com style. They know what the workout is, you don't, preventing you from bullying the poor ginger one into doing something that he doesn't want to do! ;-) 

Good luck with whatever shows up. 

Can't wait for my weekend! 

Can't wait for my weekend!
