Dodgeball! 5-19-12

In all the excitement, I forgot to let you know that FUNdies with Carlos is cancelled today, Saturday May 19th.  Come out and support your fellow CFIers.  We have 6 teams playing at McQueen.  Play starts at 9:30am.

DUs, KB Swings, SDHPs, Burpees 5-18-12

FNC Is Tonight!
Begins at 6:00.  5:30 & 6:30 classes are cancelled tonight.  Paleo potluck immediately follows.  At some point, we’ll do the drawing for a free CFI T-shirt of those who are WODing at the FNC.  While we’re eating, we plan on showing ‘Dodgeball’ on the projector.  We’ll (me and the frog in my pocket) see you tonight at the gym!

Here’s an oldie, but a goodie.  We’ve done this a couple times at CFI; most recently last August (8/26/11)

Partner WOD
Each team must accumulate:
200 Double Unders
75 Kettlebell Swings (70#/53#)
50 Sumo Deadlift High Pulls (95#/65#)
50 Burpees
One partner can be accumulating reps. The other partner must run 200m, then they trade spots and the other partner picks up where the first partner left off.
This will continue until the team has accumulated all of their reps for each exercise.

Who wants to CrossFit in Maui?!
Me!  Me!  Pick me!  Just wanted to get you guys thinking about this.  Our next CrossFit Vacation will be a week in Maui.  Wendy Jason just came back and was very impressed with Lahaina CrossFit.  We will be going the week of April 8-12 during WCSD spring break.  CrossFit on the beach.  Sounds like a good time to me!  Meeting with the travel agent soon, will keep you all posted!

Last Several Training Runs

We are in the last few weeks of training runs.  This is our last set of Hill Sprints and it will be 5 rounds.  So be prepared for a warm day and some great cardio.  We are meeting at noon and again at 5:30 pm.  Bring your water. 

Nooners can meet at the park or outside the IGT Gym at 11:50 am this Tuesday.

This Thursday is a 25 minute tempo run meeting at CFI at noon and 5:30 pm.

So congrats to all those who have stuck with us this far into the training.  Unless someone wants to plan any other group runs, we don’t have any more weekend group runs scheduled before the RTO.   We will continue with just the Tuesday/Thursday group runs.
