it's o.k. bill....they scare me as well.....kind of a wierdo ritual....i can only do box jumps with the hand holds at the side of the box not facing me...if i see that hole it messes with my mind...strange....:confused:

i never thought i would own one singlet but had to order a second one because the comp in march only allows approved singlets and i guess tuxedo singlets bought at the singlet super store off the internet are not approved.....never thought i would ever be the proud owner of two of the dang things :rofl:

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Hello,
Haven't posted here in a bit. Just a quick one.

Still at it, doing more and more crossfitish stuff and less pure lifting.
Signed up for beyond the whiteboard and have found that helpful.
I am now officially allowed to post here. I am no longer "near 50". Crossed the Rubicon last week and now have been on this big blue rock 1/2 a Century like the rest of you.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

All- I wanted to share what I learned about JT's passing, I never saw anything on our board about what happened to him. Here is what I was told:

"JT passed from sudden cardiac arrest due to high blood pressure he didn't know he had."

So, its important for us to get checked out regularly. I think am due, its been 2 years now, ripe old age of 52.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

You don't mean JT from here (Kanlay)?

I just look back and saw the posts, I am so sorry to hear of his passing. We had known several of the same people and I was really hoping to meet him in person some day. My condolences to his friends and family.
