Happy Birthday Emily Brodock

25 – Sit-up
20-Walking Lunge w/plate (45#/25#)

LEAVE NO SURVIVORS UPDATE: We are at 40 registered participants and with less than 3 weeks to go the plans are coming together nicely. For those what are worried about what the WOD’s will be, let me give you a sneak peak, Friday night at the SV Track will be WOD 1.

“Walk the Plank”
8 Clean and Jerk (115#/75#)
30 Yard Sand Bag Run (80#/30#), Drop Bag and return to Barbell
8 Clean and Jerk
Return to your sand bag and move it 40 yards to the other 30 yard line, return to your bar
8 Clean and Jerk
Return to your sand bag and move it 30 yards to the other goal line, return to your bar
8 Clean and Jerk
Retrieve your sand bag and bring it back to your bar.
You, the sandbag and barbell must be across the goal line.

The 4th WOD on Saturday will be a Thruster Ladder. Men will start at 95#, ladies will start at 65# and quite simply you will move through various barbell weights until you reach your 1RM Thruster.

So if your considering getting signed up, DO IT and don’t delay! If you are signed up by Friday June 8th you will receive your correct sized T-Shirt the day of the event.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST – If you need some Progenex (the best protein supplement) or any products from HAMMER NUTRITION (the best endurance supplements on the market like gels, electrolyte drinks, etc) talk to Paul. We will be placing an order from both companies soon.

6-4-12 Summer Class Schedule starts MONDAY!

Posted on June 3, 2012 by

Just a reminder that the 9:15am class is now 9 am and our CrossFit Kids classes will be held from 10-10:45am and 11-11:45am.

15 min AMRAP
200m run
7 Thrusters (95#/65#)

A reminder to ALL who have signed up for the Top of Utah Half Marathon… We are officially 12 weeks out, so be sure and stay on top of your training and preparation for this race.  We’ve got almost 20 of us running from the box and the time to prepare is now.

ENDURANCE WOD
CrossFit On Day: (4x) 800m – 4 min rest between efforts (plus/minus 5-7 sec)
CrossFit Rest Day: 4 mile tempo run @ 90% of your 10k TT pace
(Wondering how do you figure our your pace? First convert your previous 10k TT into seconds. From there figure out what your 1 mile pace was for this race, divide by six. Next take your total seconds for your 1 mile and divide that by .90. Last convert this number back into minuets:seconds and you’ve got your pace.)

Here’s something to think about when buying your kids or yourself new shoes. But remember to transition SLOWLY if you’ve had years in shoes with a raised heel.

Anyone can give up; it’s the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that’s true strength. – Unknown

Complete results from the 2012 Cache Valley Super Sprint Triathlon are posted HERE. A FUN DAY for team IoTA!!

Mindy placed 2nd in her age group.

Paul managed to squeek… errr limp, to a 3rd in his age group

I also heard from Brandi who got on her bike for the first time this year and rolled off 50 miles in 2.5 hours! We always knew she was TOUGH!!

6-2-12 It’s RACE DAY!

Posted on June 1, 2012 by

Happy Birthday Stacey Clark!

Can I just tell you all how excited I am for tomorrow!  We’ve got Brandi, Christina and Stacey all participating in “Little Red”, one of Cache Valley’s best female fun rides.  According to the Little Red blog there are nearly 4,000 participants….pretty serious!!  Good luck ladies!

But my excitement is for all the first time athletes from our box that are putting themselves out there, getting outside of their comfort zone and participating the Cache Valley Super Sprint Tri at the Aquatic center. Katie H, Shawn M, Nicky C and Shaley D. are taking their very first leap with myself, John A, Mindy A. and Holly H.  Be sure and tune back in for a full report on the day tomorrow.

Doug will be at the box tomorrow morning at 7:30 am and I’m sure he’ll have something good planned.
