Rest Day

Autumn - Frustrating DNF this morning completed 3rd with 1/2 way rope climbs hands not completely healed so no grip today :-( – great work everyone!

[Reply]

Maria - First time attempt at rope climb. Got three pulls up the rope! Could have gone more but did not have knee highs on. (have rope burns to prove it) Went out and bought some, so I am ready for next time! Lol

[Reply]

Brent - 9:17 L3 (minus 2 rope climbs). This was way harder than it looked on paper. Stayed on the 1 min intervals but skipped 2 rope climbs and rested 30 seconds instead. I figured that was better than plunging to my death from the top of the rope due to arm fatigue.

Wednesday May 16th

Ask ANYONE who was in Ohio this weekend about regionals and they will have to mention the enormous spike in talent and competition from last year’s field.  Teams with 4,5 and 6 regional qualified individuals were common place!  After the first event I had once again found myself feeling the weight of being a small fish in a really big pond.  Although a 9th place finish could easily be considered a victory relative to the level of competition I must admit that myself and the team return home hungry to work more, train harder and smarter than before.  Humility it seems is a potent performance enhancing drug…

This season is over and its time to get back to work…If ANY of you are interested in learning more about what it takes to move toward training with Team CFM and the Assault on Weakness program,  I’ll be holding a meeting Wednesday Night (16th) at 7:00 P.M.  You know who you are but I might not!  Step up and lets keep Team CFM strong for years to come!

STEVE’S CLUB “BEAT THE STREETS” EVENT!

This Saturday at 10:00 A.M. CFM will be hosting a “Beat The Streets” fundraiser for Steve’s Club.  The recomended donation is $25/entry but give what ever you can afford wether it be more or less.  There is no need to register but post to comments if you are planning on attending.  If you are not able to find a team then just show up Saturday and we will get you placed on a team.

Rules

Teams of 3 (at least 1 female per team).  Teams will compete in either the Social or Competitive (rx’d) Division.  For the Competitive Division, the WOD must be done as prescribed and will be judged accordingly.  Athletes may compete on more than one team if they like (in different heats).

WOD

Teams of 3, everyone must run together at the beginning and the end.  Only one person working at a time on the other exercises, with the remaining 2 athletes take turns holding a 25# plate overhead (the plate must be overhead the entire time during the Box Jumps, Push Press, Air Squats, and Walking Lunges).

For time:

  • Run 400 meters (entire team)
  • 150 Box Jumps (24″ box for everyone)
  • 75 Push Press (45#/25# dumbbells)
  • 75 Air Squats
  • 150 Steps Walking Lunge (with 45#/25# dumbbells)
  • Run 400 meters (entire team)

Scoring

Results are based on the time it takes to complete the workout. The fastest team wins!

Transitions

Team cannot start the first exercise until everyone has completed the run, team cannot start the next exercise until all reps are done.  Final time is when the slowest athlete finishes their 400m run.

WOD Standards

  • Box Jumps – Entire foot must be on the box, open hips at the top.  Step down is ok.
  • Push Press – Dumbbells must touch shoulder and reach full extension (arms straight at the top).
  • Air Squats – Crease of the hip below the knee (must be below parallel).  Full extension at the top.
  • Walking Lunge – Back knee must touch the ground, hips must come to full extension at the top.

Scaling/Substitutions

Be sure to ask if anyone has injuries or should not be doing any of these exercises.  Trainers should use their judgment in scaling the weight, especially with new people or unfit individuals.

Teams that scale cannot compete in the Competitive Division.

If you have limited equipment limitations (i.e. not enough dumbbells), please let the Competitive teams use them and you can sub lighter dumbbells for social teams, a barbell for the push press, or kettlebells for walking lunges if necessary).  You might want to separate your competitive teams in different heats.

Appropriate substitutions:

  • 400m run = row 400m if necessary
  • Box Jumps = step ups and/or shorter box
  • Push Press = lighter weight
  • Air Squat = sit on a box or medball
  • Walking Lunge = lighter weight/no weight

Judging

We recommend that Trainers or experienced CrossFitters judge the teams in the Competitive Division.  Social Division can judge themselves or have other teams judge.

Prizes

National Prizes to be awarded for the top teams in the Competitive (rx’d) Division, and the Affiliate that raises the most money.

  • Competitive Division: Top 3 Teams receive Steve’s Club Tshirts and a “Steve’s Club Sampler” for each of their members – includes PaleoKits, PaleoKrunch and other Steve’s Original products = $270 Value
  • 
Top Affiliate Fundraiser: Steve’s Club Tshirts and a Large order of 25 PaleoKits = $450 Value

BTS hosts must send Competitive Division results to SCNP at the end of the competition to determine the nation-wide winners.

Local prizes are at the discretion of the BTS host.
