Reminder: Throwdown at CF East Bay This Sat March 6
Just a reminder to all of you out there...
This Saturday, March 6, CrossFit East Bay will be hosting a throwdown that everyone is invited to. The workout begins at 11am sharp and will involve a long run followed by a series of burpees, pull-ups, and deadlifts. This will be a great test of your long-duration capacity. I'm hoping for a big turnout. Scaling will be allowed.

I can't wait to see Brandon drop some of his dont-eat-bread science at this event. Get ready for some serious post-workout yam or squash.
How unknown and unknowable is this event gonna be? I'm going to Vegas this weekend, which will be the ultimate test of the unknown and unknowable. The question is to embrace it or evade it?
The people that participate in the competition won't even know what the workout was, even after completing it. Determining the winner will have to be divined through debate.
I propose a panel be established to determine the winner even before the competition, those who are on the panel don't know who they are, nor do they know who will be participating in the event.

There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we now know we don’t know. But there are also unknown unknowns. These are things we do not know we don’t know.

your not sure what "unknown and unknowable means", this will surely clear it up:

Nicole, I sincerely thank you for sharing that video. I feel like her communications with other beings, aliens, or whoever the f*ck she was talking about has provided her with a wisdom not easily comprehended. Not unlike Rick Moranis's character in Ghostbusters (Louis Tully), her utterances are rich in subtext and can be used as cosmic signposts for those on the path to enlightenment.
Also, let's not forget: www.youtube.com/watch
You're welcome in advance, TomC.
What you don't know won't hurt you but these outfits might.
