2014 CrossFit Open - Lone Survivor Movie - 270 CrossFit for Cancer WOD



"Don't wish it was easier...wish you were better"

2014 CrossFit Open is HERE!


What is the CrossFit Open?  It is when the CrossFit community worldwide does 1 WOD per week for 5 weeks, logs their results on line so they can see how they compare to their peers world wide and within their designated region.  Bottom line...its a world wide CrossFit competition and 100% of CrossFit athletes are encouraged to attend.  No matter if you are new to the sport or a 5 year veteran....you should be competing.  http://games.crossfit.com/about-the-games/the-open


We will start doing the Open WODs from last year (2013) soon, so we can be ready for the 2014 season.  Regardless if you sign up or not, we will be doing the Open WODs here at the box, so why not participate and have fun. 


How do you participate?  If you participated last year, you can simply use that login.  If you are new to CrossFit as most of you are, then you need to create an account.  New registration begins January 15th.  Here is the link  https://games.crossfit.com/cf/login?returnTo=2Fcompetition&flow=games .   In the past, the registration had a $20 fee.  No big deal right? 


As I mentioned above, all the WOD's will be don't at the box and judges by your coaches.  If you wish to be a judge, you will need to take the "Judges Course" on line and bring the completion certificate to me (D. Mac).  https://oc.crossfit.com/


More info to come....BUT....I want everyone to get prepared...we need 100% participation.  This is such a BLAST!!




Lone Survivor Movie


If anyone is interested, we are going to be going "in mass" to see the movie "Lone Survivor".  This movie is about Lt Michael Murphy (MURPH)....that died along with all but one of the men in his unit on a mission in Afghanistan.  We do a WOD to honor him and his men (MURPH) every Memorial Day. 


We will be attending the 7:05 movie this Saturday Night.  It would be nice if we could get a nice group of folks to see it together.  If you intend on going, buy your tickets in advance and show up at least 30 minutes...if not 45 minutes early for the movie.  I will try to get there an hour early and hold a place in line so we can sit by each other. 


Bring plenty of tissues....
