CrossFit Kids today at 3:30 pm

Who wants a Row/Running clinic Wendesday March 17th at 7:30 pm? Post to comments your interest. 

Open Gym time today at 4:30. Come makeup a WOD, do a lift, run/row, or keep me company that would be nice! ;)

Red Rock Relay Who wants to put a team together? This challenge consists of teams of 12 people running in an all day-all night 180 mile race. This race will consist of two vehicles of 6 people each taking shifts of running and racing and non stop fun.  The event takes place on September 10 and goes on through the night to finish on the 11th.

I prepared this for a food exchange and it was delicious!  Give it a shot on a rainy day, you won’t be disappointed.

Give it a shot on a rainy day, March is sure to have plenty. You won’t be disappointed.

    Running Clinic — I’m in
    Red Rock Relay — I’ve heard its really fun, but my specialization is in a slow 400 m “sprint”
    Evil Wheels — Can I substitue active rest via napping?
    Paleo recipes — thanks for posting them. We had spaghetti last night; Mrs. Pinnock and I substitued spaghetti squash for the noodles. Easier(!) than pie, and we both loved it.

  5. Brandon Bickmore says:

    Destry,

    Is there really a Mrs. Pinnock? If so we must see her at CFD soon! Not so sure about you specializing in that 400m run/jog? Dr. Evil must see you today doing evil wheels!!!!!!!!!!!!

  6. Brandon Bickmore says:

    MK,

    I hope that guy is wearing a cup while doing those????? His hip extension at the bottom seems a little drastic!

    If you prefer shock therapy versus the very informative, educational video – “Why We Get Fat”, try instead:

    I do declare I may be completely cured of my fatness after just a few minutes of the visual therapy.

      On further consideration of the proactivity of our nutritionist posting paleo recipes. Maybe we should use one of the recipes from the site for the after-the-run/row-challenge after party? I bet we could get Brandon to put up a $100 to see who would be willing to eat something from this site be able to keep it down and do a WOD the next day. What say you B, wanna take the other side of that bet?

  8. As part of our next nutrition challenge I say we have a cook off and then everyone does a taste tester of whatever is offered and we vote who’s is best and they win a little $$$$ but they have to share the recipe with everyone. Visual Shock Therapy works for me too.

    Chad your keys are here at the front desk. They got dropped off this afternoon.

    Running clinic on Wed ~ for sure!!

    I so wish I was a “runner”, that Red Rock relay sounds like a lot of fun. I doubt that I could run 5 miles at a time though. Maybe I could go along and be the water girl.

    I’m sad I missed the wod today, it looks like a good one. I will try that recipe for sure…love squash anything! We all already know Angie would win the cook-off! :)
