You have all won great victories and sampled the bitter taste of defeat. The Iron Star Games will determine who wins and who is second-best. So I’ll leave you with some words of wisdom … those that read the closest will rise above the rest. – Coach Paul
But to CrossFit games apast some mistook,
To the text you must betook,
For I have explained where to look,
On Wednesday I reveal what’s a-foot,
But wait too long and your goose be cooked.
So you solved my little trick, and some of you solved it awfully quick,
A new challenge lays in store for a 10-second headstart and 20 rewards points more.
But first, you find where the new puzzle presides,
Easy, just look at where your likeness hides.

Not sure I want to do either Linda or the Engine but hey here I am.
Nicely done Jason. How did you figure it out?
The date jumped out so it had to do something with Linda. Then I started clicking around the site and ended up here.
Simple as that.

Welcome to the Club!!!
Need to test out the Echo bike but with lunges, rower sounds like a better option.
Have at it! You have three extra days to practice.
I hate the echo bike! Not the echo bike!
Welcome to the club — looks like you get the rower!
