Baseline rematch. Today was a chance to visit that first WOD for many of you and use your fitness to measure your progress, move faster, or increase / up the level of scaling to make it harder. Lots of high fives and big accomplishments today.

Flag 9:11

The flag in our lobby (pictured above) that was sent to SRCF for our support of CF Kandahar in 2012 was coincidentally flown for us in Afghanistan on the same day that Glen died.

Glen

Former U.S. Navy SEAL Glen Doherty, 42, of Winchester, Massachusetts, assigned to a State Department security detail in Benghazi, Libya, died in an attack on a U.S. consulate on September 11, 2012. He is survived by his parents, Ben and Barbara, sister Katie, and brother Greg. ~ crossfit.com

Never forget. Today we honored and remembered the victims of 9/11 both from 2001 and from 2012. Glen was killed along with several other Americans by terrorists in Libya on Sept. 11, 2012. He died in the line of duty going above and beyond trying to rescue the US Ambassador and embassy staff.

Great turnout and heart from all who came in today. Thanks to everyone for spending your day pushing through a tough memorial workout and respecting our fallen.

Tomorrow on Thursday for 9/11 we will be programming a long Hero WOD. If you are a rope climber then please remember to bring your tall socks or shin sleeve. No sock/sleeve = no climb!  

Do not hesitate to be smart and scale this WOD. Scaling will be half the reps and/or half the distance (along with weight or movement sub as usual). Don’t be that person that the coach has to force you to be smart and scale. This is not a test to find out who can will themselves through something they shouldn’t or aren’t ready for. Stay within your limitations and enjoy the results! 

Remember the gym rules for Hero WOD’s, they are tributes and this Thursday in particular the workout is to honor the victims of 9/11 including the Hero that this WOD is named for.  

Never forget!

100 WOD, 250 WOD, or 500 WOD shirts. Several of you have asked if we have your size.

I know we need to order some 100 WOD men’s size L shirts, but need to know who needs what. For 100 WOD in women’s and men’s M and XL, as well as 250 WOD and 500 WOD, we have bunch in stock so post so we can check what we have. We have a min order quantity to print new shirts so it makes it essential I know who is looking for what size to see if we will order soon.

Nutrition:

Want to know how to limit your soreness and improve your recovery? Want something that is natural and helps reduce your lactic acid buildup when you workout and improves your aerobic endurance? We now carry the Extreme Endurance supplement. I have taken it now for a month and half and have made a noticeable improvement in recovery, a huge reduction in muscle soreness, and less “muscle burn” during a WOD as lactic acid builds from intense exercise. It’s a pill supplement you take twice a day and one bag lasts a month. Check it out at the above link and the next time you come in ask any one of your coaches.

On Thursday for 9/11 we will be programming a long Hero WOD. If you are a rope climber then please remember to bring your tall socks or shin sleeve. No sock/sleeve = no climb! I do not want to throw out a climbing rope on the chance of someone leaving DNA on it.

For anyone who needs to scale this WOD will be half the reps and half the distance (along with weight or movement sub as usual). Don’t worry half is still quite a challenge. 

Remember the gym rules for Hero WOD’s, they are tributes  and this Thursday in particular the workout is to honor the victims of 9/11 including the Hero the WOD is named for. You will find out on Thursday what it is.

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.
