24.2 Closes Soon!

Coach Austin, CF-L3, CrossFit Weightlifting Certified • Mar 11, 2024

Hello to my High Flyers, Speedy Rowers and Heavy Lifters! Good work on 24.2 Last Week!

Nice work showing up and showing out last Friday for Friday Night Lights! The bars were set, the monitors were turned on and the ropes were flying! You all should be proud of what you did last week. That workout was no joke and being able to stick to it for 20:00 is very impressive!

Some congratulations are in order for athletes hitting PR’s and outperforming themselves! Tyler coming through and stringing Double Unders together for the first time ever and Holly re-doing 24.2 this morning and CRUSHING her first score! I know that there are others of you out there hungry for some PR’s and I am very willing to bet that this upcoming week is going to give us a chance to see if we got something special in the tank.

If you haven’t yet submitted your score you have until 7pm tonight to do so, so make sure to get on that! If you want to re-do it and be like Holly that’s great! Just know that you have to have completed the workout and had it judged then re-submit your score before 7pm as well.

Looking ahead to this next Friday we have 24.3. 24.3 will be the final Open workout of the season which means our final Friday Night Lights of the season. This final workout is sure to be a doozy, and a fun one at that. To add on to the excitement of finishing the Open we have some plans for celebration to occur during and after Friday Night Lights so you will want to make sure to stick around and celebrate with everyone!

Good luck to the athletes who are giving 24.2 a shot today or re-doing it and fantastic job to everyone who got after it this past weekend! I look forward to seeing your names on the leaderboard!

Baby's First Friday Night Lights

By Coach Austin, CF-L3, CrossFit Weightlifting Certified • 01 Mar, 2024
Friday Night Lights begins TONIGHT! I know I have been hyping it up and I think it’s fair why! It is currently 11:51 am as I write this and we already have had a handful of athletes take their shot at CrossFit Open Workout 24.1 and we have seen some AMAZING things! Before we get into all the doo-dads of 24.1 there are some housekeeping things I need to take care of.

Aging Athletes - Why CrossFit is a MUST

By Coach Austin, CF-L3, CrossFit Weightlifting Certified • 26 Feb, 2024
Some things are inevitable and there’s nothing we can do to avoid it, eventually time does catch up to us but there are things we can do to push back and delay the onset of those things as much as possible. This can range from cardiovascular disease to muscle and bone density losses or even mental health decline, to name a few.

Friday Night Lights - T-Minus 168...

By Coach Austin, CF-L3, CrossFit Weightlifting Certified • 23 Feb, 2024
The time is drawing nearer by the second! If you haven’t been paying much attention to the latest hype, the Open is *ALMOST* hare, and with it comes Friday Night Lights! I’m sure you don’t want to hear me ramble on about why the Open is important and that you should do it. BUT I will do a little bit of rambling here again.

The "EC Gauntlet"

On that day, we will be hosting the EC Gauntlet. The EC Gauntlet is going to be a local competition open to teams of males and females from as far as they want to travel to partake in this event.

Friday Night Lights

First, what is FNLs? FNLs is a in-house competition-adjacent event.I say competition-adjacent because it will be in the format of a competition. There will be groups of athletes performing the WOD at specific times with judges scoring their workouts and enforcing movement standards. I say adjacent because there aren’t going to be “winners” or “losers” and there aren’t going to be multiple workouts that single day to establish who is the “fittest”. It’s a competition because each athlete will perform the WOD in a certain category (Rx, Scaled, Foundations, Masters, etc.). And it’s adjacent because it is just another WOD. FNLs is meant to bring the energy that a competition brings into the affiliate and to give athletes who haven’t experienced the thrill of a real competition a taste of what it feels like. It pushes people in ways that are extremely difficult to replicate in the day-to-day WOD that we perform in class all the time. Not only those things but it also gives us a chance to watch and cheer on our friends while they workout from start to finish and then gives them a chance to do the same for us. It gives us as an affiliate to do something we don’t normally do and to try and make it something fun, something that we will talk about for the rest of the year and give us something to look forward to next year.
