Show your Seahawk and SnoRidge Pride on one shirt! Since the Seahawks are on the road to the SuperBowl and my Skins are in the Toilet Bowl I figured it was a great time to make a 12th Man inspired SRCF T-shirt. I’m pretty happy with how this turned out (after many mock-ups and ideas with our designer); simple and “jersey-like”.

We will likely only do pre-orders for these so if you want one then make sure you post in our Facebook gym page with your size, color and style (short or long sleeve). If you aren’t the social media type then post here or write it on the whiteboard in the gym.

Three year old Jeremy Bloniasz lost his life in a tragic accident Thursday, July 6th, 2006. To Jeremy’s parents, Kelly and Jeremy, the entire CrossFit family offers our deepest sorrow. In young Jeremy’s honor the following kid’s workout will be known from here on as “Jeremy.” ~ CrossFit.com

 This tribute WOD is not a “Hero” WOD in the traditional sense in that it honors a soldier, sailor, airman, marine or first responder. It instead honors the life of a boy who left his family far too soon in 2006, and it led to a bigger effort in the CrossFit community by CFHQ to promote awareness of preventing infant and child drownings. Over time the version evolved to be done with a 95# or 65# barbell for adults, and broomsticks, bars or somewhere in between for kids.

Rest 1 Minute
Tabata Squats

Rest 1 Minute

Tabata score is the least number of reps performed in any of the eight intervals. Unit for the row is “calories”. Post lowest Tabata score for each exercise and total for final score as Total Reps. E.G., 10, 20, 5, 10, 15 = 60

Good luck to all of you running the Turkey Trot 5k tomorrow or the 1k with the kiddos. Really hoping the weather is not in the “biblical rains” category. Take a group pic and run like the wind!

Hmmm is Rob teaching the deadlift or inappropriately goosing Lindsay?

AbMat AMRAP

Seems some confusion was happening for a couple classes today. The WOD was the chipper of rowing, wall balls and push-ups. Then after everyone finishes, recover and do the checkout of “Beachbody abs” of 2 back to back 2 minute AMRAP’s. For those who did everything straight through as one continuous workout with no recovery, think of it as character building plus some extra “fitness” sprinkled in. (Note: I’ll be more clear in my programming directions to avoid some epic combo WOD in the future)

The following preview is of a movie I personally cannot wait to see. How is it related to CrossFit? It’s the true story of Marcus Luttrell, the lone survivor of Operation Redwing. It’s the story of the deaths of some of our bravest and finest warriors serving in Afghanistan and those who went to rescue them; three of whom happen to have CrossFit Hero WOD’s named in their honor (Murph, J.T., Michael). This comes out in January. I’m open to anyone interested from the gym in seeing this as a group.
