Thanks so much for your warm welcolm to CrossFit Ireland. Tom really enjoyed the intro to deads and presses, and I enjoyed grappling with “the bear” (well, maybe “enjoyed” is not the right word, but . . .). Hope the Ireland affiliate keeps growing strong, and I really hope I can come back to visit again some day.

The great thing about the time difference is that i always get to post first. It’s like a nice clean slate provided for my whimsy every day.
So today was the first day of class for intro to Firefighting and I wore my CFI sweatshirt. The guy behind me says, ‘hey you do crossfit? it’s awesome’ he then goes on to tell me he just did Murph yesterday at 35 minutes. As that’s a full 10 minutes better than my best, i took an instant disliking to him. Luckily he’s a nice enough guy that I came around eventually.
Then we are going around the room introducing ourselves and when I stand up the instructor says, ‘hey crossfit! and all the way from ireland? Cool.’ I have finally reached the celebrity status that has eluded me all these years.
Congratulations Kyle. I clearly need to move to America where I will be fully appreciated.
It was good getting back down after my forced time out. Looking forward to building back up the strength that is clearly lacking at the moment.
You could do with Irishing up your name for the full effect… what about ‘Kyle O’Marsden’?
And all it took was a CrossFit Ireland hoody. I should wear mine around more often…
Ruairi.Colm said you were the man to talk to about breakfast smoothies.If you have any good sites or recipes could you pass them on.
Thanks in advance Derrick
Put them up on the recipes section in the Diet logs for easy access.
Is there anybody putting in orders for fish oil in the not too distant future? I’m all out of grandpa’s miracle juice.
Will’s a bunch of fish oil up at CrossFit, Eamonn. Sure ask him this evening and he’ll do a deal with ya, Boss.
He damn well better. Thanks Chief.
i wouldn’t mind doing a deal with will on some fish oil too if he has some more , i did talk to him about it before

Hey Will, I forgot to ask you about the fish oil tonight. I’ll be down next probably Friday 6pm if a deal can be arranged then.
Cheers Tony, yeah was really happy with that WOD, twas definitely a struggle especially rounds 4 and 5 but I loved it, think everyone enjoyed my roid rage at around round 4 mark!
