What seemed like months away is now literally around the corner. Like 4 days from now! Yikes! John Fragoso and I will be the two contestants representing CF NorCal. We’ve been training hard and will be as ready as we can be for whatever comes on Saturday and Sunday. The actual events will be posted tomorrow evening here. There are some amazing competitors and it is sure to be a lot of crazy fun! Here’s John in action....working the beloved double unders!

Anne Yates kicked some serious ass this last weekend at the Los Banos triathlon! Despite 110 degree weather, high winds and lightning she came in first in her age group in the sprint distance as well as first for women in the sprint and qualified for Nationals to boot! Congratulations Anne! You’ve been training hard and you’ve been training smart and it’s paying off!

This chick just got her first dip and dead hang pullup! She’s had a kipping pullup for a couple of months, but the strict version is now dialed. And she had PERFECT (our standards are high) pushups in all 3 rounds of tonight’s workout. Keep your eye on this girl...she’s gonna be a contender.

Check out Heather’s first time learning to climb a rope! This girl is a stud swimmer who already after just 2 weeks of training is besting her times in the pool. She shaved 20 seconds off of a recent 800m free and she attributes that to increased strength to push off on the flip turns. We’re only just scratching the surface with her strength development so as she continues to get stronger she will only get faster.

I’ve been to many athletic events in my life where athletes are chugging down Gatorade and other such drinks and eating chips, bagels and power bars to “fuel.” It was quite the opposite (stunningly so) this past weekend in Portland. At least half of the lifters in attendance brought their own lunch and there were no processed foods in sight! Even a young high school kid from Washington pulled out his tupperware of salad with boiled egg and tons of veggies! This photo summed it up…

I’m sure y’all have heard of a pyramid scam before. Hopefully you are the grand-poo-bah on the top and you manage to get some poor schmucks in beneath you and the road to riches is paved!

We have a great new crew in our On Ramp beginner’s class! Good movement and decent strength levels. We will be exposing these folks to our movements and the intensity that defines CrossFit, ultimately getting them up to speed to jump in our ongoing group CrossFit classes. The fun is just beginning!
