    Damn!! I called it!

    1. B

      Oh snap!

  2. Nick V

    I guess I don’t know what to say about that.

  3. Dave

    Crap. I am registered for class at 6:15AM because I have a 5K at 7PM. I want something heavy involved. Can I/Should I carry something heavy?

    1. Jacki

      I like this idea too… or with sleds!!!!

  4. Kehl

    Having done this before, I guarantee that this will destroy your legs.

    Tuesday’s WOD was supposed to happen on September 11th. Not this horse shit! Be prepared for Griff, NOT for time. 🙂

    1. Lindsey

      I say every 200 meters you do 45 air squats OMC!!! That way you get your squats in for your Birthday!!!

  6. Fili

    Ummm…Its safe to say this one is not in my wheelhouse.

    1. Fili

      And happy bday OMC!!!

  7. John

    I apologize for the late Bday post, I expect to see you for birthday burpees tomorrow. No better way to warm up for Griff!

    1. T

      You can split the burpees between all 6 classes today and everyone will get the best warm up of their lives!! Happy Birthday OMC!!!

  8. Erin Burke

    Um…yeah…I have a 5K Wednesday night (forward running only, but with hills), so I will not be doubling up on workouts. Good luck everyone and have fun! 🙂

  9. Kehl

    Oh hey now! Happy birthday OMC!!

  10. Concerned ICA patron

    I just want to say Happy Birthday to that ruggedly handsome King of Squatting, Old Man Chamberlain! And I also noticed the programming error, “Griff” on OMC’s Birthday, I am not amused.

    Oh, and in case this WOD isn’t quite enough for you all today, you are all invited to this:

    Patriot’s Day 5K and Relay – Sly Fox Brewery – Pottstown, PA
    http://www.pretzelcitysports.com/userfiles/file/13%20pottstown%20patriots%20day%205k%20and%20relay%20app.pdf

    An evening 5K race? Sure.
    Team relays available? Yup.
    Cool location? Of course, what’s cooler than running AT a brewery?
    Benefits local first responders? Please. Of course it does.

    Four members of Iron Cross Athletics will be there. Who will be the fifth or more?

    1. Lindsey

      This looks fun Dave!! I may be interested!! Who is doing it??

    2. Dave

      Myself, Erin, Holly (first WOD today) and our friend Jen, who just signed up for November’s Fundamentals…that counts, right?

  30. Ron

    Happy Birthday OMC!!

  31. OMC

    Thank you all for your Birthday Wishes! After sweating my ass off all day working in this heat, regretfully, the Chamberlains would like to cancel. OMC has made an executive decision, and has chosen dinner with the family over this ridiculous WOD in the heat.

  32. Rick

    Hey all, any gluttons for punishment? That should be most of you. I’m doing the 5 O’Clock class today and am looking to run after. Probably an easy 3 miles (NFT). From the gym through downtown and across the bridge and back is not only a nice scenic run but also a convenient 3 mile loop. Any takers?

  33. Laurie

    Rich,

    I’ve love to run at 5. Wish I could. How about a nice DARK run (with headlamp) at 8pm. :-/

    OMC, have a great birthday dinner with the family. Good choice!

    1. Rick

      Hey Laurie,
      Can’t do 8. Need to get my son from soccer practice by 7. Trying to squeeze it all in between 5 and 6:45 ish. Plus I don’t have a headlamp!! Ha!

  34. Laurie

    P.S. Who the hell is this “Griff?” I’d like to run him over with my car…going backwards!

    1. Ginger

      Haha Laurie! I second that

    2. Nick V

      Run him over forward first, and then back up. Then do it again. Fair’s fair.

  35. Tina

    Happy birthday OMC!!!
    Enjoy your dinner & Family time!

    Hoping I can make it tonight but if not… Is anyone doing this one tomorrow?
