Athlete of the Week: Richard Nguyen

 

If you have been coming in the evening you surely have noticed that Richard has been on another level recently. First up it was nailing the 55″ box jump, then it was beasting out unassisted pull ups like it was nothing, and today he reached his goal of 10 double unders in a row. In fact, Richard is one of the only ED*CF members to have completed two out of  three goals for the Cupid Goal-Reach Challenge. Keep getting after it Richard!

In The Long Run

At the top of the CrossFit pyramid lies “sport”. Sport, in this context, pertains to anything athletic outside the walls of our gym that your CrossFit training makes you better at. Since we have some runners in our community I thought this article would be appropriate. The old-school thinking of high volume/low intensity in terms of marathon training is slowly being replaced. This is where CrossFit Endurance comes in.

Another related article on the infusion of strength and endurance training by Mark Sisson. Check out the second question.

Write at least three goals on the board! All goals should be pre-approved.

Hoodie orders are going out this Thursday! There is a sign up sheet on top of the cubbies. This is a one time deal so get them now!

Hoodies!

Back
Front
The hoodie design is in! This is only a rendering, so the real deal will look a little different. We are thinking about adding some green draw strings. The hoodie itself will be american apparel like the one in the “front” view. Price is not certain but I believe it will be around $40 per hoodie. ORDERS GO OUT NEXT THURSDAY (Jan. 19th). Please put your name down on the list on top of the cubbies along with which size you would like. Don’t be left out!

Be thinking of a goal that can be reached in a month’s time. Something like “I want to string together 20 double unders” or “I want to increase my back squat by 10lbs”. I’m going to be asking for them at the end of the week!
