Sorry guys, it’s massive snow time this morning. I drove around at 4:30am, and had a blast! Which means we should not be open.

Closed through 9:30am. I’ll update for tonights schedule around Lunchtime.

Thanks!

Welcome to February!

YO! Nothing terribly special this week. Welcome to February πŸ™‚ Remember the Open is coming, go ahead and register, it’ll be a blast, and it’s fun to see where you stack up πŸ™‚

Stay tuned here for any snow updates. Hopefully it passes without incident and is very pretty and all that :). But if anything more serious happens, tune here for updates.

I delivered the “What is Fitness” lecture this weekend at the course I was teaching in Tacoma. It’s powerful, and poignant given the plethora of options out there. I’m gonna add a link below to the original article from the early 2000’s about this topic. If you’ve got 5 minutes, please consider giving it a read. I think it’s really cool, and it’s really a guiding tenant for how we roll.

February Time!

Lunar New Year is this Wednesday, hurray moon! Anyone ever really read up on ole’ Gregors calendar? I guess there was a decent period in the “dark ages” (when the peasants had like 190 days off a year on holiday, and the rest just chilling making craft beer and gardening) I guess when they hadn’t figured out leap year yet (copernicus’ fault no doubt, damned heliocentrist and all) and they let it slide for like hundreds of years so far that the “winter months” crept into being the summer months, and everyone was really confused. Gregor saved the day. What a visionary.

Open Registration and Rowing ReCap

***NOTICE: Closed Monday for MLK Day***

Rowing Recap: Way to be!! It was super cold, but we had 37 brave souls come and complete the rowing! So rad. Top Men’s Time goes to Chris (LCF) with: 18:14.5 (a 1:49.45 avg pace!), Top Ladies time goes to Eileen with 22:52.9 (2:17.29 avg pace!). Braving freezing temps, nearly zero warm-up, but with killer views of the moon (waning gibbous) and the Olympic Mountain range, tasty breakfast burritos (courtesy of Sis and Booboo), and coffee (thanks Stef and Nanda!), I think it was a good day had by all. Special thanks to Tom for moving Edmonds’ rowers, and for the crew that stayed to help load up and those who did both row and kids class, who ended up helping return the LCF gear!! Sheeesh!

The CrossFit Open! It’s here πŸ™‚ https://games.crossfit.com/open/registration

Feb 27-Mar 17th, 3 Weeks, Three Workouts

I think I’m gonna try the foundations workouts this year! I can’t yet make a push-up or pull-up, let alone burpees. But we’ll see what they have in store πŸ™‚ As per usual we’ll have Gymnastics days on Thursdays, and the Open on the Friday. With Saturday being a cool team workout based on what the Open didn’t do πŸ™‚ No stress, it’s basically 5 weeks away. Just go sign up, and we’ll make sure it’s an awesome experience!

Workouts:

Monday: Closed for MLK Day

Tuesday: Fight Gone Bad: 3 Rounds for Reps: 1 Minute at each Station: Wall Ball 20-10’/14-9′, Sumo DL High Pull 75/55, Box Jump 20/16, Push Press 75/55, Row Cals (too soon?), Rest

Wednesday: Dip Work and “Annie” 50/40/30/20/10 For Time of: Double Unders and Ab Mat sit-ups (No GHD)

Thursday: “Moore” AMRAP 20 Minutes, 1 Rope Climb 20′, 400m Run, Max Handstand Push-Ups

Friday: Power Clean Max 1

Saturday: Max Rounds in 15 Minutes with a buddy of: 3 Strict Ring to Chest False Grip Pull-ups, 5 Deadlifts 315/225, OR 3 Strict Pull-ups, 5 Deadlifts 315/225. Buddy’s can spot each other on the pull-ups as needed.

Saturday is like two different workouts depending on what your coaches want for you. The second with the strict pull-ups is best for scaling, horizontal banding is cool, and you can spot each other to ensure enough rounds.

Rowing Event!

OK! This weekend is the 5k Row we’ve been doing now for a few years. It’s held at Sunset School Park (17800 10th Ave NW Shoreline, WA 98177) it’s got a covered basketball area and is basically perfect for our needs for this event. If it’s clear you get a view of the Olympics while you row, it’s sweet. Dress WARM, it’s supposed to have a high of 40 degress and low of 28, which by 8am we’ll be closer to 28 than to 40 πŸ™‚

Sign-ups will in the gym as per usual, 8:00, 8:30, and 9:00am. Text a 5am’er to make sure you get your spot!

***NOTICE: Monday the 20th we’ll be closed in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Be rested for the 21st πŸ™‚ ***
