Back CameraBack Camera

Fast approaching is No Ordinary Race, EDCF’s first ever endurance challenge. On Sunday, April 28th, you will be given the opportunity to test your true fitness.

There is a sign up sheet at the gym for competitors and volunteers. There is a $20 entry fee for competitors, which includes an awesome t-shirt (shown above), breakfast tacos, and beer. Also, t-shirts are $10 for people who sign up to volunteer. ONLY COMPETITORS AND VOLUNTEERS WILL RECEIVE T-SHIRTS. No extras will be ordered so please sign up at the gym by this Wednesday, April 17!

As promised, we are releasing the routes. This gives you the chance to study your course and run through it before race day if you would like. Still, we will not be releasing the obstacles.

Again, if you would like to participate by competing or volunteering, please sign up by THIS WEDNESDAY and pay Ryan if you would like a t-shirt.

No Ordinary Race

Our first ever No Ordinary Race .

On Sunday, April 28th, EDCF will host its first endurance cenetered fitness challenge.  This competition is open to only members of our gym, and all of you are encouraged to participate.

There will be two lengths: 3 miles for intermediate and 6 miles for advanced athletes. This is no ordinary race, though; there will be stations with obstacles and challenges along the way. These hurdles will be CrossFit movements that you’ve all experienced during a WOD at the gym. However, these movements will not be announced. Part of being fit is being prepared for the unknown.

Remember, the Endurance class is every Sunday at 11 am. These WODs will help build stamina and prepare you for running distance.

We will be releasing race rules and official routes later this week. In the mean time, get running!

“Time Trials”

6 movements all to be done at maximum effort and speed. 3 minutes of rest between movements.

50 pull-ups

50 push-ups

50 sit-ups

50 squats

400 m run

500 m row

If you have a watch or phone with a stopwatch then please bring it. Add all times up to acquire a total.

then…

3xME Handstand holds – rest 90 seconds
