Brandon if you plan on winning the Crossfit games next year, you’re going to have to push it a little harder.
What does that mean?
It means at least once a month you have to finish a WOD like this guy.

That was fun!
I love the look of terror in Sierra's face in the second photo.
Lau-
It looks like you are the weak link that caused the collapse. Clearly this needs to be your training focus for 2009. Sure sprints are fun, as are olympic lifts, doing WOD's in the sunshine and having keg parties at your parents house disguised as CFO workouts, but you obviously need to work more on your quadruped strength.
Conclusion:
-Goal setting you did on July 21st: EPIC FAILURE
-Do not pass go, do not collect $200
> Goal setting you did on July 21st: EPIC FAILURE
Ouch! Speaking of epic failures, where were you last night, Nabil?
Sierra. Deer. Headlights.
I love how even when the pyramid was crashing down Mike and I were still smiling for the camera. Who's a cover girl!?! Audra on the other hand was pretty stoic in both. It looks like she's thinking: "this is like the 5th pyramid I've done today. I'm so over this already." Hilarious.
I'll say it again... "fun!"
I wonder how that ended up for Brandon?
However it ended up for Brandon, he brought it on himself by tickling Lau to begin with.
I must say, that was pretty damn hilarious..Mike and Candace are clearly the cheeseballs of the bunch- not only keeping their smiles, but pretty much maintaining their position on the pyramid even though it was collapsing, just for one last shot. Sierra looks like she just got caught with her hand in the cookie jar and Nicole is clearly thinking "Peace out bitches!"
In the first picture, did anyone else notice that Brandon has the guiltiest "who me" look on his face...and in the second he maintains midline stability as his nose is rapidly approaching the floor.
In the second one, I like how Loren and Daniel are cracking up with obvious delight as the whole pyramid topples. And Lance is going, "oh shit, i'm about to get crushed!"
By the way, I'm designing a T-shirt for my office, if anyone has any good ideas...I have a logo already but need help with creating an eye-catching design/slogan or whatever. Vanessa, you did a superb job on the cfo games shirt...any interest in doing one for a chiropractic office?
> By the way, I'm designing a T-shirt for my office, if anyone has any good ideas...
Pentagrams, dude. Lots of pentagrams. Nothing says "spinal health" and "natural healing" like occult symbols. Trust me on this. You will have more patients than you know what to do with once those t-shirts hit the streets. Additionally, you may want to pipe some heavy metal into the office to promote recovery. It's almost as good as ice for reducing inflammation.
In case anyone is wondering, I offer business consultation services for the bargain price of $400/hour. There's a low, low $1,200 initial consultation and setup charge, but what's a grand in the scheme of things? As you can see, the quality of the advice I provide is second to none. You, too, can take your business to the next level by paying me exorbitant sums.
First Pic - stunning!
Second Pic - Mike, you DO look pretty damn "special", as does Candace. It is clear by their juvenile, congratulatory grins that Loren and Lau planned the collapse. Brandon and Audge have spied something quite horrifying down MJJ's pants. Daniel is making sure Mike's hands are nowhere near his woman. Patick is saying a touching 'good-bye' to Lance. Sierra is getting ready to launch herself from the top spot like a cat, while Nicole anticipates this and is getting the f*** out of the way. Tom is (still) thinking about vanilla ice cream.
Speaking of the occult, notice how Tom's satanic expression stays intact for both pictures.
Satan has been good to me over the years. I cannot lie.
Can anyone find "Waldo" in the pic? Errr, I mean Robyn's son?
> Can anyone find "Waldo" in the pic? Errr, I mean Robyn's son?
I can! but I'm not gonna say, at least not in English. Originally, my guess would have been that he was off camera licking some spilled ice cream off of a bumper plate. However, he can be found in picture uno - antes las piernas.
