   Firstly …… I can’t move !!!
   No seriously I’m hobling alone bondi beach right now, and it hurts !!
   Let alone having to deal with work, staff, dentist, ex and ex wife today Jesus , that sounds like a WOD itself.

   Well done everyone, was great to be a part of, and something I will never forget.
   Richard Highlights !!

   1. My room mates, cam P, Mitch, Al and yarly was a pleasure, cam is a great cook BTW.
   2. Everyone who cheered me on, everytime I heard my name, well most of the time lol, you made me pick up that weight, even when I thought I was “done”, thankyou.
   3. Watching every CFXer give their all, I saw joy, dissapointed, anger, and tears, it was touching, to see you all go through all kinds of emotions.
   4. Seeing Jason guy do the last WOD talking and smiling, and only breaking a sweat on the final round, perfect form.
   5. Ian and Matt,Tina , Simone , con, Mitch, egor, And everyone else smashing everything they had.
   6.Nat voss powering away with her puffa!! ….Again… Everyone gave everything

   Special mentions…..

   CFX ( Mick, Steve,froso, Grahame ) for existing !! And being there yesterday, gold medal to for that ICE box, that really was gold.
   Not taking anything away from anyone, but Ogi and Amelias super human last round to come from just outside the top twenty to make it into the 20 was just icing on the cake.
   Good job cam, you gave everything in that last round, and great to see the magpie sqawking away at the judges !! Good job ant.

   Anyway, back to the madness for a few days, hoping to pick up a weight on wednesday or thursday.
   Rest well my prettys !!

    Happy Bday CAMP!

    To everyone who supported me, thank you!!! Your cheers and encouragement helped me power through!
    Congrats to everyone who competed, everyone who volunteered, everyone who supported us! We are all part of a special group because of the support for each other.

    Feeling tired, needing more sleep and TLC! Unlike Rich, I only passed by Bondi beach on the way to work this morning, and first up had a meeting with a Japanese analyst talking about Japanese real estate. Bored for time – 60min! Wishing I was at the beach – all day event!

    Have a great day guys and well done to everyone!

    Thanks to everyone for a great weekend and sensational support. To our judges and volunteers thank you so much. Special thank you to everyone who helped me through that last workout, it was embarrassing as I could not even get through it !!! But the CFX crew were so awesome and Mick judging and encouraging. Thanks so much guys. Congrats to Kam, Ogi, Ant and Alex !! and everyone who had a crack.

    Really feel for my brother Tony today….he finished 21st !!!!!!!!

22. Graeme, on February 22nd, 2010 at 12:07 Said:

    Hey, great work all round guys & great support from the crew.
    I didn’t get to see many of the performances as I was either counting or filling the dunny water supply. Highlight for me were being thanked for just counting & talking athletes through the WOD’s, even being thanked for “no reping”. How good is the community when you can get thanked for saying someone needed to improve!
    Ogi I counted a few guys in higher final heats with slower times & they were smashed, then I heard about your effort. Very impressive to put your head down & just do what needed to be done.
    I’m sure everyone gave all they had – great crew, well done all.
    Swim was great, company was great, I don’t think I can ever forget the view of Richard’s bare bum at the 6th floor window – Nat is traumatised I think!

23. Iain, on February 22nd, 2010 at 12:58 Said:

    I had a great weekend and was glad I decided to compete. The atmosphere was awesome and the encouragement everyone was giving was awesome. It was great to see everyone competing giving it their all, from the 1st heat all the way to the last heat of the weekend. Big thanks to the hardest workers of the weekend, the people who volunteered you did a great job.

    I want to thank again everyone who cheered me on

    Thanks to Simone and Nat for the accomadation and Matt for giving me a lift up and back.

    See you all at the gym

    Happy Bday CamP

    Awsome weekend, what a way to lose my crossfit virginity!

    Thanks to all the CFX gang for there support and shade, and mick for dragging my arse off the floor after WOD 4, struggle street!

    Congrats to all who made top 20 awsome job!

29. Richard, on February 22nd, 2010 at 17:27 Said:

    Rhino…… You are a legend, from what I could see pride is something I hope you can feel.
    Man o man did you push hard in every WOD and against sone tough guys.
    I’m proud of you man, you showed real balls in that last WOD. Proud to be in the same team as you !!

    That’s the thing about crossfit, it ain’t about doing an exercise that takes you to your limit, crossfit takes you there then keeps you there for 15 mins !!! It’s heaven and hell, good job Rhino.

    While we are on the subject of balls, you brother has a set of steel ones, he just kept pushing and pushing, he’s got a big heart to.
    The 2 of you could do some serious damage lol.

    Also a big big thankyou to JAMIE, he gave his time to stretch me when I was a lost cause and I got through the wod, the one with the 600/ deadlifts/rings/dumbell swings. Jamie you helped me through that mentally as well , to a 16:11 and I think a second in the heat. Your a top bloke who knows his stuff and cares about people, thankyou.

    Nice to see you go nuts and blitz a WOD also :0)

    - – - a very Happy Birthday to you Cam P !!! —

    on the ACT/NSW Sectionals….

    To all who jumped into the ring , what amazing efforts pulled off by you guys, truly awesome to see all that hard work that each of you put in at the box go into action over the weekend. Congratulations on super efforts, over two killer CF days in the heat of a Newcastle summer.

    Fellow volunteers who wore so many hats — judges / coaches/ nerve calmers/ traffic directors —- thanks for the teamwork and sharing stories across two very full days. It was great to meet all the new faces, what a mammoth effort you guys put into organising and pulling off the Newcastle event — Mandy ‘s organisation skills are phenom!

    Add Megan to the shout out list she was with us all day Sat.

    Darren thanks for managing….everything! putting on a great event for all and keeping it positive and Jeremy your support out on the floor was invaluable!

    thanks for all the positive words guys, Nic and Nat you are most welcome!

    The CFX team spirit is amazing, it was great sharing the weekend with so many friends….. there is some wicked sense of humour in this crew.
