Fresh week! Lots of hard work ahead of us this week... who's up for it?!?
Lots to talk about....
1) "Gettin' Jack'd"
The registration deadline for the the fundraiser has been extended to Thursday Feb 1st. Get involved! Scroll down to last week's posts for more info.
2) "All Hail the Queen"
Congratulations to our CFLI girls who competed in the "All Hail the Queen" competition in Queens this weekend! Brianne, Taylor, Jess R, Kelley, Beth, and Nicole threw their hats in the ring of a very fun and exciting competition. The girls battled through some tough WODs and represented very well. In the end, both Brianne and Taylor made it to the Final Heat of the top 6 women. In the end, Brianne finished 4th and Taylor finished 6th overall with impressive performances throughout the day. All the girls brought their A game and I am very proud of them for bustin' their butts through some really tough WODs.
3) 2012 CrossFit Games Open Qualifier
Well folks, its that time of year. Time for the CrossFit Games season to begin! This is a very exciting time of year and I am looking forward to training, competing and coaching over the next several months. We will be having a mandatory meeting this Friday at 7:30pm for anyone who is interested in competing in the open. If you will be giving the "Open" a shot this year, you must email .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) by Thursday at midnight, and then attend the meeting on Friday.
Not sure if you are ready for the Open? Don't stress, this isn't going to be what you saw on ESPN last month. The Open WODs are very inclusive and try to incorporate much more than just the super-elite. We have done several of last years WODs over the past month or so, so hopefully you've been gauging your abilities based of these. In order to compete, you should be competent in things like pull-ups, push-ups, double-unders (or working on them!), etc. You should also be able to do the majority of our workouts with the prescribed weight, and very comfortable with all the barbell movements and variations. That being said, just because you can't picture yourself making the trip to California this summer for the World Championships, doesn't mean you should sit it out. Still not sure? Ask a coach.
