Upcoming Events

Back when I started CrossFitting, the biggest thing the community was emphasizing was Glassman's "World Class Fitness in 100 Words", with the last sentence being "Regularly learn and play new sports". That is how we test our fitness and ability to do the known, unknown, and unknowable.

Other than The CrossFit Open (REGISTER AT THIS LINK!) here are two of the upcoming great examples to test your fitness:
  • The Big Climb for Leukemia & Lymphoma
    • Jake A says "Heads up! Registration is now 90% full. If you are doing this year's Big Climb, get registered at www.bigclimb.org as soon as possible. This event WILL sell out, and it will do so earlier than last year. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to post on the event wall or message me privately. Let's get this team going, good people!"
  • The Tough Mudder - Washington State
    • Early Bird Discount Until February 18 is $95
    • Mudder Entry February 18 to May 31 is $125
    • Standard Entry June 1 to August 31 is $155
    • Final Entry September 1 to September 22 is $200

      Use the code 'DeathWaiverWA' to receive $10 off regular registration. This code is valid until midnight on Wednesday, February 8th. More info at the site.
Happy training!

19:31, modified the kb thrusters to a kb push press. Everything else as Rx. Oh, except for double unders - did those one-legged (just 50). Fun times.
