040

by irmy on February 9, 2010

Hi Guys,
A few weeks ago, I supported Kris at one of this Crossfit competitions. He’d always talk about how crazy his workouts were, so here was my chance to see if it was the real deal! And trust me, it really DID live up to the hype!!

I found two photos that I really liked, but couldn’t figure out when I was going to post them. Originally, I had thought that my “365 Days…” would involve me only posting ONE photo a day. But how silly would it look if I posted one photo one day, and then on some other, random day, I’d post another one?

So, it was unanimously decided that Tuesdays would be dubbed “Two-fer Tuesdays”.
Who unanimously decided? Well… me!

040.1 “There’s a fine line between the Taste of Victory and Vomit” – Crossfit

This is one of Kris’ friends from his gym, and that’s their gym motto.
I don’t know why they decided to capitalize “Taste”, “Victory” and “Vomit”.
I like that sweat bead running off this guy’s chin… or is it saliva from working out too much? I don’t know…

040.2in⋅ten⋅si⋅ty: great energy, strength, concentration, vehemence, etc.
ve⋅he⋅mence synonym: passion.

When I reviewed my photos and saw this one, the one word that came to my mind was “intensity”. I knew in my mind how I wanted to show this photo- with the definition. But I had no clue what “vehemence” meant (sounding out the word was even difficult for me), but when I looked at the synonym, I thought “PERFECT!”

According to Kris, this guy was doing a “burpee”. This is where you do a push-up, then you stand up and jump. All I know is that this guy looked like he was in pain…
