    Love this pic!
    Btw- Mel and I and a whole lot of MPHers are in the background of the new mainsite picture on http://www.crossfit.com. My neck looks a bit hulkish, but Melody looks great.

    YES ROB!!!!! YOU ARE THE MAMBO JAMBO!!!!! That is a 30lb PR on the Clean and Jerk with 2,000 people watching. You may not have noticed but you were rocking the house at that point…even people in the bleachers were screaming your name. I am bowing to you at this very moment my friend.

    God, I love primal screams. Gonna do this myself from here on in.

      Thanks for the push to 125 this morning, John & Mel. I thought I was done at 115.

      I just want to set the record straight. I thought I had done way better today on the box jump wod than what I did on Sunday. Turns out I miscalculated the points for the reps completed in Sunday’s attempt. For some reason I thought each rep was worth 4 points instead of 3. Dividing by 3 makes my Sunday score a total of 112 reps as compared to today at 117. Well it is an improvement. I guess the amount of sleep I had or didnt have really made no difference at all.

    Pork Update

    Ok, I’m going to put in a hold on a pig for May 1. There are two pigs available for that delivery slot, a 600lbs and a 300lbs. Based on who wanted in before, I think the 300lbs one will suffice, at least for now.

    The cost of this endeavor is a little more complicated than the cow. The cost to buy the pig is $2 a lb (no sales tax). The farmer will take the pig to the butcher shop free of charge if we use his butcher.

    The butcher charges $50 flat handling fee and then $.67 a lb (of the hanging weight, which is about 70% of the original weight) to cut up, vacuum seal, and freeze the meat. There is an additional charge of $1.50 /lb for sausage and $2 /lb for bacon if desired.

    For those that I haven’t completely lost with the math equation, who still wants in? I will more than likely end up driving down to Front Royal to pick up the meat, so I will need some time to plan that all out.

    For your reference here is the link to the farm:

    http://www.forestfed.com

    and the butcher:

    additionally, most of my research is from this site:

    Let me know your thoughts or comments.

      Sean I’m in. Here are some calculations:

      300lb pig will yield approx 136lb of take home meat.
      With total pig cost of $600, meat will cost $6.80/lb for take home meat
      If 6 of us go in it will be $155 and 23lbs each.

      Sounds good!

    Since the sign-up for the Marine Corps Marathon is next week (eek!), I have new running shoes on the brain… John, can we take a field trip to the shoe store for some John-approved running shoe purchasing? 🙂

      Yes, Jenny! It would give me great pleasure to stroll into a local running shop and drive the proprietor crazy with such objections as:

      “No, we’d really like to keep her ‘over-pronation.'” and,

      “She’ll probably wear these shoes for 3,000 miles.” and,

      “Do you have anything Runner’s World wouldn’t recommend?

        I would love to join the field trip. Think it’s time to finally replace my decade-old pair of taekwondo shoes.

        That is what every man in earth should want to always do: go shopping shoes with a girl! Bravo!
