14 Years on the Whiteboard — Pieter's Training Log
Training Log · 2012 — 2026 · two boxes · ten years at one of them

Fourteen yearson the whiteboard.

655
recorded training days  ·  a floor, not the full count — see the gap below

A leaving present to myself: every scrap of CrossFit data I still have — a hand-kept journal, two gym software exports and a PT log — stitched into one timeline. Two boxes: four years at Britannia, then a full decade at Iron Duke. Some years are complete to the day; others were lost when Iron Duke changed software and only survive in my journal. Both shown honestly.

Every year I can account for

Bars are coloured by how much I trust the record. Green years are complete gym exports; amber are partial; grey are years I was training hard at Iron Duke but whose records didn't survive the gym's software migration — only my journal covers them, so they read far too low. That grey stretch is a data-loss event, not a training gap.

Reliable — full gym export Partial — some months / year-to-date Records lost in migration — journal only
Read this before quoting a total. The grey years (2016–2021) are the catch: I was at Iron Duke the whole time, but when the box moved to its current software (WodBoard, ~2022) the old attendance history didn't come across. Only 69 sessions survive on paper for those six years — that's what my journal caught, not what I did. Every headline number is labelled “recorded” for exactly this reason.

The girls & the heroes

Named benchmark WODs, ranked by how many times they show up in the record. Counts are a floor — only the ones I logged by name.

Greatest hits — the movements

Training days that featured each movement. A leaderboard for the crew to raid when they build the send-off WOD. (Squats win. Squats always win.)

Best lifts on record

One-rep maxes pulled from the logs and hand-verified against the source text (concatenated whiteboard scrawl makes auto-extraction lie — these were checked by eye).

When I showed up

A creature of habit — but the habit moved. Day-of-week is across all 655 days. The clock is trickier: only Britannia (2013–15) and a 2020 fragment logged class times — WodBoard records none — so the Iron Duke decade is a near-blank clock the data can only half-tell.

Day of the week  · all 655 days

Friday is the standout (138). Sunday is rest day — just 13 in fourteen years.

Time of day  · then & now

Britannia · 2013–15
6:30pm
The evening warrior. 82 sessions in this slot, 48 more at 5:30pm — 83% of timed classes were 5pm or later.
Iron Duke · 2020–now
12:30pm
The lunchtime regular. WodBoard logs no times, so the decade's clock is blank — but the only Iron Duke times that survive (2020) are 7 of 8 at 12:30pm. The habit checks out.

Numbers for the crew

The fun ones — with their honest caveat attached, so nobody engraves “655 sessions” on a trophy without the asterisk. Bake these into the farewell workout however you like.

◈ Suggested build — "PIETE'S LEAVING WOD"
  1. 14 years → 14-minute AMRAP, or 14 of something nasty
  2. 6 rounds (one per Murph) of:
  3. — 18 reps · deadlifts (180kg PB ÷ 10, scale to taste)
  4. — 7 reps · squats (his #1 movement, 7 for the Cindys)
  5. — 6 · Cindy pull-ups + push-ups combo
  6. Cash-out: 55 double-unders — one per snatch-PB kilo
Numbers pulled straight from the data: 14 yrs · 6 Murphs · 180kg DL · squats the most-logged movement · Cindy the most-repeated benchmark (×7) · 55kg snatch. Adjust loads/reps to the room — the point is it's his numbers.

Where the numbers come from

Five sources, three confidence tiers, one honest table. So the fun numbers stay fun and defensible.

Honest caveats

  • 655 is a floor. The 2016–2021 grey years are journal highlights, not attendance — the true lifetime total is higher and unknowable.
  • Rates use fully-logged years only (2014–15, 2023–25): 432 days ÷ 5 yrs = 86/yr = 1.66/week. 2022 (part-year export) and 2026 (year-to-date) are excluded from the average.
  • Benchmark & movement counts are floors — mined from logged workout text, so anything I didn't name by hand is invisible.
  • Lift PBs were hand-verified. Auto-extraction tripped on things like “150 kB swings” and “110% of 1RM”; the headline kilos were each checked against the raw log.
