It is absolutely amazing how deep people can dig and what they can push themselves through when the HEAT is on. Everybody did AMAZING today and the amount of personal records set is inspiring!
Though the event is over, and its time to relax lets not waste this opportunity to make HUGE improvements. Take a moment and think about what item(s) you would have least like to have seen drawn from the hopper deck… got one? Now that is what needs to be focused on more then anything else if you wish to win the next challenge. Improving that will make the biggest changes in your performance!
So the day started with a draw from the Hopper Deck and it was none other then “Grace.” The top three female times were Elissa, Kaila and Lisa (in that order) all of whom hit a P.R. for that workout! For the Men Big Mike smoked Grace setting a new gym record with a 2:24 time!! Ben and Mike N brought in second and third.
The second workout of our choosing was
400M sandbag carry @ 100/50
30 box jumps @ 30″/24″
30 Burpee Pullups
800M Run
It was a doozy but we saw some incredible efforts. Lisa had the best time for woman, followed closely by Elissa and Kaila. Ben took the best time for men, Mike N and Jeremy rounded out second and third. Honestly there was very little breathing room for these top places and NOBODY can afford to take it easy for the next competition.
Ben and Elissa, congratulations on winning our Furious Rubber Chicken Competition. You have the honor of holding the Rubber Chicken for the next month. Take good care of it and let it fuel every training session until then, for you are both targets now…
For the rest of us, lets get us some chicken!!!
We have one, maybe two spots open in the 7:30am On-Ramp course running these next two weeks. If you are interested let me know ASAP!
Thank you everybody who came out and participated or simply came to show your support. Your attendence and participation makes these events AMAZING! Until the next one, and it has also been suggested that we plan a paint ball trip….
Blimey! that second workout is BRUTAL!!!!
Nice work Everyone
Wish I could’ve been there
Way to go Elissa, I sure did raise you right!!!
Good job everyone, looks like it was a lot of fun!
I started Crossfit about a month and a half ago with my brother. I could have only started it with him due to the apprehention of starting a workout program of this intensity, in the shape that I was in. However, since starting, I have come to know and appreciate the encouragement of the staff, and those of you in much better shape than myself. I’m seeing big changes in my brother and I, even in the short time we’ve been here.
Thank you all!
Hey Dave,
That’s what this gym is all about! Good job and keep at it. Think about the changes you’ll see in the next couple of months.
Peter, Leah, TJ, & Brit…Saturday’s competition was awesome! It was great seeing everyone push themselves past what they thought they were capable of! Looking forward to the next one!!!! ……please NO sandbags this time
Rach, we have plenty more in store so dont worry! Just make sure you lay off those potatoes if ya wanna have a chance!
Dave, You and your brother are a blast, and an excellent addition to the gym! Keep it up, you have no idea where this thing will take you…
Shelly, thanks! I was surprised a little myself at the turnout and the FIRE that was in the air. Its amazing how we can all compete against one another one minute and turn around and be cheering the same person on the next with all of our heart. Thanks again everybody, and no promises about next time…
Yes indeed….great job everyone! i do have to say that if it wasn’t for people yelling at me and telling me i could do it i wouldn’t have been able to do as well as i did. so thanks to everyone at the gym for the encouragemnet and if everyone keeps up the good fight i think peter will have a pretty kick ass affiliate team next year at the games.
