The extra names for the River Bear workout this morning are the SWAT boys that came to play. Tom discovered that knurling and necklace chains do not mix well when you drop the bar down behind your neck for the back squat part of the Bear. Little Chris discovered that running does not prepare you for the rigors of rowing and Big Chris learned that lifting the train cars and tug boats that he uses in his workouts does not prepare you for the aerobic nightmare of the pace that CrossFit workouts demand. I keep a little book for the many wonderful turns of a phrase that people come up with, sometimes under stress during a workout and other times just in conversation. Danielle wants to do the CF Games and is training up for it. The topic of the games having a Master's age group came up and I mentioned that up in the higher altitudes of my age group many of my peer group is having bypass surgery and heart attacks. Speaking of Lance, Steve, Jennifer B. and me as we are all in "Older than the other kids in the gym" age group category, Danielle said, "You are the most amazingly in shape old people I have every seen." Old people. I am now categorized among the AARP cardholding, mall walking, discount at the restaurant croud. Great.
