The faster you go, the more rest you will have between minutes……BUUUTTT… the closer you will get to meeting Mr. Pukie…
Mr. Pukie is a very well recognized icon in the CrossFit world, while many hate him and can not stand the sight of him, many of us crazy CrossFitters welcome him with open buckets. Others think Mr. Pukie is bad, while others don’t know who Mr. pukie is, and even better one of our athletes (Oscar) does not believe in Mr. Pukie. Mr. Pukie is every where, at home, at high schools’ home parties, at the clubs, in college dorms, in the military, and now Mr. Pukie has invaded the world of CrossFit. I myself have been very, very close to meeting Mr. Pukie, he was at my door but I couldn’t force myself any more to open the door for him. I welcome his sight, I guess is a crazy thought those few that are crazy like me, enjoy. I believe that Mr. Pukie will come when you least expected, but if anyone is wondering when is it more likely that Mr. Pukie will show up, and I will have to say when you do legs like crazy. Work outs such as FRAN. For those you who don’t know who FRAN is you will soon find out. That WOD I can guarantee will be memorable.
Anyways, today we had a good crowd all day. We had several visitors and more future CrossFitters. It has been already one month since we first became an affiliate and started making history here in the Valley. But of course we are not done, CrossFitters go above and beyond the call of duty. We have athletes from all walks of life, 17 year HS girls who like to talk a lot and are late, so they have to do burpees all the time to Emy who is tough as nail to my beautiful wife who is a tough CrossFit chick and yet very compassionate towards others, unlike me….lol. I hurt everyone the same. My wife is what has held this whole thing together, she has supported me the whole time since I first shared my dream with her, when we first met. Member babe? you memmmbeeeer, member? I was getting kind of wild again, likei n my younger years and ” Along Came Polly”. Months later, came Mya…..and You all better watch out for her, you think I am tough, oh boy…she can do burpees and over head squats already, no lie. Anyways, today we had some great athletes push themselves to the limit, not quite meeting Mr. Pukie but they showed gret courage, what I like to call “100 percent and then some”. Many athletes met the Ranger standards. Now we are ready for another great WOD tomorrow and then our cheat day Saturday. So tonight sleep tight, ignore Mr. Pukie if he’s in your nightmares, and we will have a GOOOOODDD WOD tomorrow. I will stay up all night thinking about it and trying to really searching for the right one to celebrate our one week anniversity.
Good Night everyone.

Today’s WOD was great…luckily I didn’t meet Mr. Puckie and I don’t think I would want to either, maybe I didn’t go fast enough, but I know I did cause I did have a few seconds to rest between minutes.
This is not a good marketing plan!!! We are trying to recruit new members not scare them away… No??
Yeah you did good Vero, very good. And Oscar, the concept is to recruit members, but we have to keep the CrossFit toughness. CF is for everyone, but yet is not…lol. Meeting Mr. Pukie is not a bad thing. You will meet him one day, jsut keep up the great work and don’t be scare of Mr. Pukie.
Mr. Pukie and I have met only a handful of times in my lifetime… believe me,,, I will never meet Mr. Pukie at the Box! NEVER!!!!
I have to agree with Oscar. He talked to some friends during lunch about going to class tonight. I am seriously considering it I LIKE THROWING UP! Who doesn’t?
I can only imagine those times…lol…. should I even ask Oscar? And Oscar you should know better than to say NEVER. Never say Never…..
Oscar, stop antagonizing the coach! Miguel, he is joking with you, right Oscar? On another note, NO ONE ever wants to meet Mr. Pukie…
Yes Oscar!! WT!!! Which class are you going to TODAY so that I make sure I am NOT there!!! You should know better than to say those fighting words to our MASTER!!! LOL!
You see Oscar, listen to the women, THEY are always right…
OH NO!! Now look what I’ve done!!! Yes…the women are always right. I learned that a long time ago.
I met Mr. Pukie the the 1st day I joined and that didn’t scare me away! Made me want to try harder!
Veronica, and you are doing freaking awesome man…keep it up. We are gonna hev you running soon.
Miguel,
With your permission I would like to submit the story of the first crossfit box in the Valley to Channel 5 maybe they will come out and check us out. What do you think? is that ok with you?
Oh difenetely, that would be awesome. I was actually gonna ask if anyone could do it for me. Thanks Vero.
Done!
Vero B. you are doing excellent, keep up the great work you’re doing, I love your energy and enthusiasm that you bring in to Crossfit…as for Oscar, I agree with the coach “Never say Never” cause eventually you’ll meet Mr. Pukie when he has us do WODS at the “HALL OF DEATH”.

Gooa Job Vanessa, This is CrossFit, Baby, CrossFit….Pushing your limits, getting outside the BOX in the BOX. I am porud of everyone, youa re all doing awesome. Their is a lot more fun to come in the near future. We might have a Ranger-CrossFit competition in next couple of months. But I will let you all know when and all the rest of details. For now Work hard and push, push, push…..BUTTT remember, SAFETY AND TECHNIQUE ARE FIRST PRIORITY, Then Speed.
See you all later….Rangers Lead The Way!!!
I suggest a rule. 50 burpees if you puke inside the box, including the restroom.
Sounds like a good one Enrique. OK EVERYONE…RULE #9 IF YOU AND MR. PUKIE BATTLE IT OUT INSIDE MY BOX, YOU BETTER NOT LEAVE A MESS, OOOOR YOU WILL DO 50 BURPEES THEN CLEAN IT UP.
Miguel,
I think you should probably have “I met Mr. Pukie in 2010″ T-shirts made up for us! It would be my honor to wear one.
