So many PR’s or tying your current PR today. Great to hear the PR bell rung each hour this afternoon! If you are “stuck” or feel like your lift is not progressing focus on your technique, positions and footwork at a working % of your 1RM (i.e. much lighter). Make those lifts consistent, and focus on fixing faults. It will lead to forward progress.

Annie T. does the Hero WOD “DT” in 8 and a half minutes. With men’s RX weight (155# instead of 105#)! This is a good men’s score. A make athlete scaling the load heavier to be equivalent to Annie’s in this workout would need to use 225#.

Nutrition:

We were watching Dr. Oz tonight and it was great to see some attention paid to eating clean with Whole9 founders and good friends Dallas and Melissa Hartwig. It’s crazy to think that almost 5 years ago we invited Dallas and Melissa to come to our gym to put on a nutrition seminar, which then led to us being one of the first gyms to utilize their nutrition guide (which we still give out with OnRamp – an updated version of course). Fast forward several years and two best selling books later, and they are not only on morning and evening talk shows but they are changing so many lives worldwide with their program. If you are looking to change your nutrition habits, lose weight and slay the sugar demon; then this program works.  Stick with a true Whole30 (NO cheats!) and you will see amazing results.

Sad. Amazing. Inspiring. This was the biggest blow to the Games this past weekend when longtime Games athlete Julie Foucher was injured in the Central Regional on the Over the Box Jumps.  This was her last year competing and she was poised for a Regional podium finish after sitting in first place after day 1. What was just unreal was after being injured in event 3 (in which she was well on her way to finishing 1st in that event) Julie stayed in and competed in a walking boot through the weekend in the Handstand Walk, Max Snatch, HSPU/C2B/Row workout, and the the MU Clean ladder.  She finished 8th overall. With a BOOT.

With Regionals weekend officially over I am personally exhausted (I bet Mark was too as he judged with me). While not as tiring as what the athletes go through, being out on the competition floor judging for three long days kind of numbs you to CrossFit by the end and kills your back, knees, and feet. After a LONG night’s sleep I woke up feeling groggy but fired up to watch the other Regionals I missed (taking the day off was perfect) and by the afternoon I was already missing it.  Watching the drama and race unfold of each workout and the effort to get on the podium is even better when you are up close and a part of the process to find the fittest athletes to move on. I’m already thinking I’ll judge again next year and can’t wait to go watch the Games and go coach Jules in Carson in less than two months! Every year I wonder if CrossFit will ever get old and every year my passion for it actually grows.
