We're almost there... the end of the CrossFit Games - Open Sectionals. Just one big pile of thrusters and pull-ups is the final obstacle. What sort of fate awaits us on the other side? I guess that depends on how big we can make that pile!
MegN is sitting real pretty right now at 11th place in the Northeast Region. Top 60 get invited to the regionals in June. While this workout may not be her favorite, the way I look at the points, she should still be in the top 60 if she places 330th or better this weekend. No pressure or anything, Meg ;)
Also it would appear that Bill Pontius may get a ticket straight to California! Bill's been doing the game's WODs with us each week and is competing in the 60+ mens division. He's currently 10th in his division worldwide. Awesome work, Bill!
Still with a shot at making it straight to the finals is Erin DiVincenzo. She's currently in 24th place... just 11 points out of qualifying. Look for a big effort out of her this week.
Finally, as a team, CrossFit Rochester is still in it. We got our collective butts kicked a couple weeks ago, but rebounded VERY well last week. We're 23rd right now. If we can stay in the top 30 just one more week... our next challenge will be to decide who will represent us at the regionals :)
So... AFTER this sectional business is all said and done, it will be time to CELEBRATE…. the PRs that were hit - the incredible efforts of our athletes and teammates - those who joined us to score WODs and to cheer us on throughout the Sectionals! This Saturday, the 30th - immediately following the 10am games time slot, we will be hosting a gathering at the gym for gamers, gym members and families….please join us! If you haven’t done so already…. please sign up on the list by the front door!! Now, if we can only get Mother Nature to cooperate!
ALSO POSTED BY THE FRONT DOOR... Wednesday, April 27th is the last day to sign up for the upcoming 30 Day Eat Clean Challenge. This challenge will be a bit different from previous challenges... easier in some ways, more difficult in others... but, like always, if you stick with it, the results should be profound. If you want to play – please sign up ASAP on the sheet by the front door!!
The challenge officially starts this Sunday, May 1st and ends May 30th. If you are participating in the challenge, you must make it to one of this weekend's regularly scheduled WODs (unless you have made separate arrangements for an alternative time with us). Challenge information meetings and measurements will take place immediately following each class on Saturday so plan on spending at least 90 minutes at the gym. All Challenge details will be provided to you at the information sessions.
For those people who cannot make the Saturday WODs… we will run a special 8am WOD for challenge participants ONLY…..our regularly scheduled 9am WOD will be business as usual.
(A future gamer? Arjun shows us how to mushroom about a stack of bumper plates. Impressive!)
Congrats Crossfit Rochester! From Sam Aguirre over at Crossfit Buffalo. Kick some butt!
