This coming Monday morning, we will be doing things a little differently than in the past. While we usually take on “Murph”, this year we will take on another Hero WOD (or maybe a mixture of a few, muhuhaha!).
Jen H. has also made a donation jar for the victims of the tornadoes this past week in Oklahoma. We are also accepting clothes, shoes, bandaids, sports bras, toothpaste, etc.
Be at the gym at 9am this coming Mondaymorning to detox from the weekend and help support or neighbors in Moore, Oklahoma.
We want to thank everyone who has shared our meet the girls infographic over the past 2 months. Your feedback and comments have been incredible. There have been more than a few requests to turn this infographic into a full-sized CrossFit poster and to show our gratitude we are releasing the file to you for free.
Not only has the infographic already received over 1.4K shares from our website alone, it is also climbing up the ranks of Visual.ly (an infographic sharing site) as one of the top infographics of all time in their “health” category. http://visual.ly/meet-girls-crossfit-infographic
We have to give a huge thanks to ex-EDCF member Kelsea Everett (now working for CrossFit HQ in Santa Cruz) for making this project such a huge success. Kelsea took the time to completely reconfigure the graphic so it would print as a 2′ by 3′ poster.
CrossFit Poster Printing Instructions
*Skip Ahead if You Have Your Own Printing Plans
In our search for an affordable poster printer, we looked at Kinkos, Vista Print, & a couple local shops. By far, the least expensive printer we found was Vista Print. For a 2′ by 3′ poster, with shipping to Dallas, TX, we paid $22 with Vista Print compared to $75+ at both of the local stores. If you guys know of any other good options, feel free to add your printing tips in the comments area.
2) Select “Large” 24″ by 36″ & click “Upload A Design”
3) Choose “Vertical”
4) Download the Poster File here:
**You will be redirected to the download page.**
5) Click “Choose File” and select the poster file you just downloaded. *We’ve been assured that it’s okay to ignore the resolution warning. Kelsea confirmed the file is up to the highest resolution standards*
6) Click Next, Click on the Image, Hit “Edit” and then “Move/Resize”
7) Select a corner and resize/center the image until it fits within the dotted lines. There will be a white border when it’s printed.
8) The rest should be pretty self explanatory. We opted for the “Glossy Stock” which does cost extra, but we are happy with the material. Scroll down to the bottom to see the poster hanging at EDCF.
*We do not have any posters for purchase. The printing is up to you.*

Share Your Poster with Us: #MTGPoster on Twitter
We would love to see our Meet the Girls poster hanging in your homes and gyms around the world.

We will add your picture to this page.
Zach and Kelsea have been a major part of the growth of our box and its surrounding community. Kelsea has been behind the awesome designs of our current logo and recent t-shirts while has Zach stood by us since EDCF was just a concept. He even built the webpage you are looking at right now. This week is their last week with us as they are leaving us for the west coast. We are all saddened to see them go but excited for them as they open up a new chapter of their lives in Santa Cruz, California. Both Zach and Kelsea have accepted jobs at CrossFit Headquarters. These two creative minds will help the CrossFit webpage crawl out of the dark ages once and for all!
On a personal note…While I consider Zach the resident boisterous ass-hole at the gym, he has been one of my best friends over the past seven years. He has been a loyal friend and has really outdone himself in support of this place since we both moved back this way from Austin. I wish you and Kelsea nothing but the best and know you two will kill it out there. Thanks for everything!
