Our 6th Annual Frankenchipper! (photo by Rob W.)
Frankenfools
Saturday was our SRCF annual tradition costume-required “Frankenchipper”! The Frankenchipper is a combination of benchmark “Girls” WOD’s. Like Frankenstein it’s part “Helen”, “Nancy”, “Karen”, “Cindy”, and “Filthy Fifty”. This day is one of my favorites to see everyone in costume and trying to work through the gasser of a workout. Thanks for the big turnout.

We also had our 6th annual Halloween party at Castle Black! Open to the whole box and friends who hail from the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros; we had a great party of entertaining characters, paleo-faileo food, strong drinks and a good times. Daenerys of House Targaryen and Jon Snow of the Night’s Watch thank you all for coming!

RANT ALERT: This is a NO REP. The whole 5pm class gets a no rep today for this debacle. Put things away correctly. It only makes more work for everyone else. We are not your mom and not a daycare who picks up all the toys for you.

Good example below of the Level 2 CrossFit Trainer Certificate Course (Coaches Prep). This type of of small group breakout and coaching “on the spot” is a large part of how the course is run:

Lots of back squat PR’s AND some strict handstand push-up PR’s today! 

The Frankenchipper is coming. Make sure you have your costume ready for our annual Halloween costume WOD next Saturday 10/25 at 9:30am. We will run waves and get all of you monsters, zombies, superheroes, villains, and other assorted characters through. 

As the Winter/Fall season is upon us the box will be getting colder. The cooler weather keeps the door closed more often so the “funk factor” will be on the rise. To help prevent being a contributor to the “funk” here is a reminder to everyone to do a “sniff test” before you leave for the gym/change clothes  and to put deodorant on whether you pass the test or not. This will help make sure the box smells like roses while we work out. That way you can raise your barbell if you’re SURE!

EMOM Rest

Congrats to Teri for reaching her 777th WOD! She requested something with this number scheme and one that was a EMOM format. Since I didn’t let her have a “666” WOD she got her wish today. Hitting this many workouts is a testament to Teri’s discipline and dedication.

Also we have a winner for the raffle for the free spot to the Movement Fix Athlete’s Movement and Mobility workshop we are hosting on 11/2. Congratulations goes to Emma! It’s your lucky day.
