10. Accuracy

So Sam asked today when he saw Chris walking into the gym "what's his name again?" I said "Chris" and Sam replied "Oh, he's the good jumper." Indeed.

This one was an epic miss.

So, our last of the 10 general physical skills. CrossFit defines accuracy as the ability to control movement in a given direction or at a given intensity.  It is a matter of practice and not training. Something you must work on over and over and over again to get better at, but an autopsy won't reveal it.  You guys will get to practice your accuracy today.

Happy Vetrans Day. 11 - 11 - 11 has historic and painful significance today: World War I – known at the time as “The Great War” - officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, in the Palace of Versailles outside the town of Versailles, France. However, fighting ceased seven months earlier when an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars.”

Thank you to all of our vets who are honored as heros this day but who were hero's long before today.

Stop by RCF today to experience a little 11 - 11 - 11.

Chris, see, we knew she'd put up eventually. Splat! (Chris did get two successful jumps before this one, though..impressive!)

Rest week is boring, plus all these chips and bonbons are making me sick ;)..but I am getting some of my zip back, so I think it was the right decision. Today I'm wrestling with a couple of water heaters, so that will be sort of like a workout...at least there will be some lifting and lots of cursing involved!

Cheryl - just run a stopwatch and start with 3-2-1 GO! Water heaters for time....
