WOD

New year, new you, same Jesse 🙂

Hey guys 🙂 Thanks for the week! I hope you enjoyed the break, I think we all need one, even you guys. Y’all train really hard all year, a rest week, in a chill week from work is a smart move.

Schedule! Monday is a half day! No early AM classes however the PM classes, 4:00 and 5:00 are good to go! See you then!

Otherwise, “normal” week 🙂

Looking at the coming year: 298 training days this year! Up from 297 last year! That’s ample opportunity to smash workouts, and be your fittest self. EVENTS! I know you guys love events, I do too, even though I may grumble, they’re fun. Lots of holidays this year are mid-week so we’ll do lots of cool stuff. I’ve got tentatively on the schedule 18 events this year. From Murph, to Snowshoeing to a Helen Challenge, Juneteenth, an overnight camping trip, etc. Let’s do it!

First and most urgent! ROW 5K DAY!! We’ve been doing this the past few years, I love it. It’s really cold, it’s been clear, the view of the Olympics is awesome, and you get a wonderful 5,000m out of the way! Saturday the 13th, 8am, at that little park in Edmonds that has a cover in case it rains. No classes in the gym that day, just over there in heats every 1/2 hour until we’re done! On the bright side, we’ve got like 12 rowers in the mix now! So it’ll be awesome. Sign-ups will be in the gym, don’t add numbers, just fill in when you can make it 🙂

Hey! I know that for some of you it’s already impossible (improbable) to complete the 12 days because you’ll be out of town by the 21st or what have you, but that’s OK! Get as many as you can, and have fun with it 🙂 It’s a fun way to help you make a reason for getting in, when it’s easy easy to skip because of so many other commitments we all have. Use this challenge as your reason for ducking out early, changing your schedule that 1 day this week, shifting a meeting to make the space, bowing out of that dinner that you’d really rather not go to, or to procrastinate on shopping even more. And if you don’t make it? Oh well, you smashed good workouts, and had a good time doing it.

This week is a little crazy, Lynnwood is hosting a certification course for CrossFit, so the coaches will be all over the map, enjoy it!!!

Workouts:

This is a silent week 🙂 There’s load of workouts coming for the L4 at Lynnwood, but there’s a plan for classes each day, be cool, and Monday is Cindy. So get those hands trimmed up, and go ahead and stretch out your legs so you can squat low!

You’ll need to bring Rope Climbing Socks for Thursday!!

At the risk of sounding sappy, it’s been an honor to spend this, our second, year with you guys. Lots of ups and downs as always, loads of records, thousands of reps. 2 Years without any signage!! I can’t believe it’s still working 🙂 I’m glad that it is, and it’s 100% to do with you guys wanting to come in and get after it, week in week out, telling your friends, re-recruiting people who’ve left, telling your mom she should call me and get workouts together. It’s amazing. Congrats and Bravo.

The 12 Days of Christmas are coming! Please remember that I’m not the guy who’s trying to exclude people by not using “Holidays” over Christmas, I’m just like a normal dude, and 12 days is fun because it fits really well, and I don’t know another way.

Starting the 4th – Next Monday – the first 4 workouts each week (Monday through Thursday) are workouts 1-4, 5-8, 9-12, Friday is make-up day or heavy day, and Saturday is still a team workout for happiness. We’ll have a Tally up in the Auxiliary Glass Boards in the gym, piece of cake.

ALSO!! Next week Dec 4th and 5th, we’re hosting the L4 for CrossFit again! Very big deal. Class sign-ups will be on the boards, we need people to sign up to allow the coaches testing to have real people to work with. Fear not about your ability level, THEY are being tested on their ability to teach and scale, NOT YOU on your athletic capacity. Deets in the gym as always 🙂
