Congrats to Genevieve (center in the SRCF tank top…) for getting her first kipping pull-up today after the WOD! It was SOLID!

Tank Top Day

Sunday the Elysian Games throwdown at the Seattle Center Fisher Pavilion will have a Firebreather, Open and Teens CrossFit competition. This is basically the Gorilla Games event for this year. Good luck to Jules who will be competing against the 16-18 year olds!

The team WOD’s at the Games still have a ways to go at being exciting and finding the best CrossFit teams (think Grid workouts), but still a good recap video: Best of the Teams: The 2014 Reebok CrossFit Games

12's

Surprising turnout for the PM classes. Made this one with a “12” rep scheme in honor of the Hawks sending Green Bay packing. I planned it to be a 12 Minute AMRAP but changed it by adding the rest periods and 4 rounds to make it into some higher intensity interval training. Legs will catch a break tomorrow from squatting, bring your tall socks.

Power Snatch

Similar in format to the “Air Force WOD” this combines the format of that workout with the benchmark CrossFit classic “Isabel” (30 snatches for time). Moving quickly through the burpees is motivation to have more time to get more snatches done and avoid that next minute.

Team Series Rulebook

FAQ (that I have seen or been asked so far) and answers from the Rulebook:

Q: Can we start as RX and move to scaled?

  • A: For any given Team Series Competition, a team and all team members must complete all of the workouts in the same division (Prescribed, Scaled or Masters). If a team elects to compete in a different division in the second or third competition, they will be removed from the overall series Leaderboard.

Q: What happens if somewhat can’t do the WOD or is unavailable? 

  • A: Teams will NOT be allowed alternates; there will be only four (4) members on a team. Should an athlete get injured or drop out of a competition for any reason, the team will not be eligible to submit scores for those workouts.
  • A: If a team skips a workout, has a workout invalidated or cannot complete a stated minimum score, they will be ranked below any team that has completed more workouts than that team. The team will remain eligible to compete in any subsequent team competitions and will maintain a ranking on the overall Team Series leaderboard. 

Q: Can I scale up or down? i.e. Can I do something more than what is prescribed (Double-unders) or can I use bands for pull-ups if I am in the scaled division?

  • A: Each athlete is responsible for performing the workout as prescribed. This includes performing all required movements to the described standard, counting and completing all required reps, using the required equipment and loads, meeting the required time and meeting all submission requirements. 

Q: Can our team do the WOD in a garage or some other location?

  • A: Validation is required to make any CrossFit Team Series workout result official. Teams must have their scores validated either by a judge at a CrossFit affiliate or by uploading a video of the workouts to the CrossFit Team Series website.
  • If no CrossFit affiliate is available, the only alternative is to submit video of the workouts. Any team in the top 25 on the Leaderboard will be required to submit video. Each sponsored team is required to submit videos for each workout.

Saturday’s team WOD was something I borrowed and tweaked from watching the NPGL first match between New york and LA.  Overall some cool team workouts.

Second CrossFit Team Series Event announced – [video]

So far two events have been announced for the CrossFit Team Series that begins this week. There are 7 teams participating in the RX, Scaled and Masters Divisions.

  • Team Series will occur over Aug. 28, Sept. 18, Oct. 9 weekends
  • Teams are 2 men and 2 women
  • Cost: $100 each team ($25 per person)
  • Workouts will be announced Thursday prior to each weekend
  • Multiple workouts should be expected each weekend
  • Team Captains need to make sure they get their teams registered and email addresses for the team members to invite them to join
  • To enter validated scores as a team you must opt-in on the registration website (Each team should opt-in, otherwise it’s like you’re that person that is running a race without paying the entry fee)

How will we run this for teams?

  • All workouts for a given competition to be released on Thursday at 17:00 PT (or earlier). Teams will have until the following Monday at 17:00 PT to validly complete the workouts and submit results online. This is the team Captain’s responsibility.
  • As a team you may plan according to your schedule what class times you are all available to complete the WOD’s by the deadline. You MUST fit these into our class schedule. No exceptions for special class times should be expected or requested!
  • I may or may not program one of the team events as a normal Saturday workout over the three weekends. If your team has already done it you can do a different workout.
  • Arrive as a team for class, complete the required warm-up, then you must coordinate with the coach for neccessary space / equipment needed. Note that the CLASS gets priority on equipment and space! Be prepared to stagger, move outside, or share space with another team as needed.
  • You may space the workout(s) out over multiple days or do some back to back. See above for when you can do them.
  • You must complete the workout(s) as a team together according to the rules and standards published on the CF Games site.
  • Each team must use a judge during the workout. You can use your teammates where the logistics support it. 
  • Team Captains MUST be completely familiar with the WOD standards and requirements.
  • Rules can be found here.
  • Have fun! Remember this is supposed to be fun, there is no pressure or anything to stress over; it is no different than any other team workout that we do every…single…Saturday. Please do NOT send me a list of 7,183 questions asking what the standard for a single-under is, what a chest-to-bar pull-up means and what you should do if the weight is too heavy for you. You already know the answers.  The ONLY acceptable workout related question I can think of is “What’s a thruster?”
    • Just in case the answers are: Jump rope goes under the feet ONCE, chest TOUCHES bar, and if you are asking the final question you need to GET STRONGER (I’m kidding. Sort of.)
  • No filiming of any WOD’s is required since we don’t need to take the prize money from Camille and Froning. The rest of us all have full time jobs.
  • If you have made it this far then you absolutely should NOT ask me WHEN your team can do the Team Series WOD’s. 

 ** Last Note**

For this week only due to Labor Day travel plans impacting some of the team members participating, you may begin tackling the published WOD’s on Wednesday as a team but cannot enter your score until Thursday. Pick a class time and coordinate accordingly.
