To all CrossFit Fredericton members who are competing in the CrossFit Games on March 20-21:

We will be hosting a Q&A competitors meeting on Sunday, Feb 14 at 4pm. The meeting shouldn't take long, we just want to get everyone together to answer questions about how the event works, how to eat, how to recover between events, how your body and mind will react, etc. This is new for a lot of you, so please take advantage and come to us with questions.

We will not discuss exercises or events that may or may not be involved.

February 8, 2010 | Registered CommenterAnthony & Jodi

Also, we have paleokits in stock - $6 each - ask for them in the gym.

February 8, 2010 | Registered CommenterAnthony & Jodi

Can u fill me in by email. Thanks.

Jason/Scott/rj. Just eat lots of whoppers. It is the secret recovery meal. ;)

February 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterTony5

That's what I was thinking Tony5. Burgers, fries and a beer or two. ;)

February 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJason

Well yeah, building up to the competition you want burgers and beer, but the actual event requires a 3-shot tequila and poutine pick-me-up. That`s elite fitness!

February 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterRJ

I missed the morning crew today. But Natalie reassured me that she'd step up and "ensure Dave gets the appropriate amount of grief, Tony5 takes off his shirt if at all possible and to not worry about Jane's need to cuddle b/c tomorrow is her yoga day!"

For the trash talking boys, keep the humour coming. I'm home with my germy-germs today and need the laugh!

Feb 14 Tony? I think I'll have to miss the Q&A. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't go over well on Valentines day

February 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJason

For anyone interested, I'm going to place an order for skipping ropes from Rogue Canada. The shipping drops considerably on an order of 5 or 10, so if you're interested just drop me an email (tallen@unb.ca) to let me know before tomorrow.

February 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterTracy

I'll have to pass on the tequila RJ. The last time I drank that I was sick for 3 days. I think it was bad tequila, although it may have been the amount in an apparently very short time frame. Naw, bad tequila.

Anthony, I've talked to the guys at Picaroons and they'll sponser me for the sectional and part of the deal is I get a keg of beer. Is there a place at the gym where I can keep it cool so I can stay hydrated during the day?

Back is feeling much better, however, the St. John`s gym facilities are rather limited. It`ll be a good week to play with gymnastics.

On track for 10 after 6 rounds then push up demons arrived! Although focus on strict pushups is paying off as first few rounds of PU felt really good!

Planche practice

Yes Kelsey, a quiet morning - although I thought I heard a few choice words from the ladies after coach threatened us with burpees after WOD!

February 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterGil

Gil, I think it was more in the form of friendly encouragement, not threats. :P

February 9, 2010 | Registered CommenterAnthony & Jodi

First day after a little dance with the flu bug - things felt surprisingly good. Nice to meet you Angie. Chris S great work on that final rep of your OH Presses. 110?? You've got PR fever!!

February 9, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterglen

Had a couple guys get in the way of my pullups during the 1st few rounds, was hoping to get 12 rounds in. Not much you can do when you're working out at a regular gym. There was also a comment from a friend of mine about how I cheated during my pullups, I was too gassed to respond about kipping etc. A little tired form the drive home this weekend, but it was worth it to see the wife and kids. 2 months left.

Chris

February 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterChris Dunbar

Totally forgot planche practice

February 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterChris Dunbar

30 Double-Unders

Thanks.

February 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJeanette

Hey Chris D - gotta say I admire your dogged determination to 'get it done' even in some pretty adverse situations. Good luck - tough being away from family.

February 9, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterglen

...two months and a sweet time like that Jeanette? good work!

February 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJane

Thanks Jane.

No CF workouts in two months, but plenty of o-lifting. And I like double-unders. I picked a workout that suited me :)

February 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJeanette

Thanks Glen, not at lot of other stuff to do when we aren't working. Might aswell hit the WOD, having sectionals coming up has kept me motivated and away from the beer, but I have become addicted to Chris Brothers pepperoni, Damn

Cheers All
Chris

Press went very well today...struggled on the second from last and last reps but it went up! Thanks Glen!! Great job by all......Sorry Angie I forgot to introduce myself....welcome to Crossfit....what's that saying....."let the beatings begin!" or something like that! Don't worry it'll hurt but it's a good hurt!

February 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterChris Sullivan

February 10, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterHeidi

Tracy (F/41/125)

Push Press (3R@90%)
45-65-75-85-95

These might have been easier if I hadn't mistakenly done 5 reps on the first 3 sets. I still need to work on my push press form. I guess my stance is often too narrow and my knees are caving in. If I concentrate, I can correct it, but it's not automatic, yet ;)

AMRAP in 10 minutes of:
5 Chinups
10 Pushups
15 Squats

10 + 5CU + 10PU + 3 SQ

Conditioning felt really good on these and I felt like I might have been able to hold close to this pace for 20 minutes. Maybe 20 rounds of Cindy next time?
