If you are paying attention you may notice that today's programming is a little different from what we have been doing. This sort of training (brief intense efforts, both ME and metcon back to back) will become more of a staple after we finish this training cycle in January.
This is my take on old-school roots CrossFit as first envisioned by Greg Glassman in the seminal CrossFit Journal Article, "What is Fitness and Who is Fit" from October 2002:
"One of our favorite workout patterns is to warm-up and then perform three to five sets of three to five reps of a fundamental lift at a moderately comfortable pace followed by a ten-minute circuit of gymnastics elements at a blistering pace and finally finish with two to ten minutes of high intensity metabolic conditioning."
Most of my influences and 3/5 of the top Affiliate Cup finishers use this type of training. CrossFit Central posts mostly metcon, and CrossFit Calgary uses a MEBB-type template of the kind we are using now (40%+ ME).

James Fitzgerald AKA "OPT" gives recommendations for PW0R ratios based on body comp:
post wod fuel male:
above 12% - 40g prot/10g carb
8-12% - 40g prot/25g carb
below 8% - 40g prot/40g carb
post wod fuel - female:
above 16% - 30g prot/10g carb
12-14% - 30g prot/20g carb
below 12% - 30g prot/30g carb
eat a balanced PFC meal 60 min after post wod fuel for everyone (P=protein, F=fat, C=carb)
I'm not endorsing this of yet, but it is interesting: not sure where he is getting this from. For now I am still recommending Chocolate Milk PWO for recovery. Yes, that's right, guilt-free chocolate milk!
CANCELED DUE TO POOR WEATHER CONDITIONS: BLUE ANGELS ARE NOT LIKELY TO FLY!
Blue Angels Schedule
Directions: if you look at this map, to the right of Chrissy Field is a little spit of land by the boat club that goes out into the water. If you go out to the very end by the wave organ, one of the Angels uses this spot as a landmark, and turns to go straight overhead. You will be in the jet wash, feel the ground shake, and be as close as it is possible to get without being in the plane.
As it happens it is exactly 5K from Embarcadero BART to this spot via Columbus.
Interested parties meet at Embarcadero BART at 2PM, SUNDAY to run the 5K and watch the Angels.
As Many rounds as possible in 20 minutes:
5 C2B Pull-Ups
10 2.0/1.5P Kettlebell Swings
15 Push-Ups
