I know what I will be doing all day

I will be watching this... I'm in total awe and I can't stop...
http://live.crossfit.com/
I just witnessed "Helen on Steroids" which puts what I did 2 days ago to shame. If you recall, I did "Helen" which was 3 rounds 400 meter run, 21 kb swings, and 12 pull-ups. "Helen on Steroids" is insane-
1200 meter run
63 kb swings
36 pull-ups
800 meter run
42 kb swings
34 pull-ups
400 meter run
21 kb swings
12 pull-ups
Then you end with a max jerk, rack to overhead.
Most of the women did the above workout in less than 24 minutes. It took me 18 minutes to do 1/3. They are amazing!
I would love to volunteer at the CrossFit games next year. I wonder how I do that when I don't belong to a CrossFit gym. Hmm...
What do you guys think of the new layout?
*Update- just got back from the gym and did my version of "Amanda." Technically, she calls for the following-
9-7-5 reps of
Muscle ups
95# Squat snatch
But since I can't do a muscle nor can I do a 95# squat snatch, I scaled it. My snatches suck. Plain and simple. So I only did the bar @ 45#. Better to do them right then to struggle through tons of weight if they look poopy IMO. Michael has rings that he made so I did a scaled version of a muscle up. I sit on the floor and put the rings just above eye level. I pull up into a muscle up from there.
Here's a video from the CrossFit website of what my squat snatch looked like except that the chick in this video that does it much better/quicker/more powerful than me :)
My time was 11:01

I wish I was just chillin watching the tour today. Enjoy it!
I love the new layout too. The colors are super fun. I do prefer dark writing on a ligher colored background too. Looks good, girlie.
I like the colors of the new layout -- I'm a big fan of gray, orange and blue. :)
I'm sure you can volunteer at the Games even if you don't belong to an affiliate. Just keep check games.crossfit.com in the spring and there will be announcements about registering to volunteer.
Way to get at one of the Games WODs already. I'm thinking of taking on Amanda sometime soon as well. Keep working those snatches at a low weight, in the long run great form will really pay of. I will definitely be scaling down from 95 as well!
New layout looks great!
Lovin' the new layout, Kelsa!
Oh MAN, the live feed for the games was AMAZING!!! I was hooked!! My boyfriend and I definitely took the laptop with us to the BEACH to watch it!! haha! I would love to volunteer too, how AWESOME would that be? :)
