    500 reps within 30 minutes equals….*mumbling*… 3.6s per rep! This is INSANE! But then again this is crossfit.

    Hi Guys!

    I guess it was not all in my head afterall! The pain was just way too bad to bear. Could not even lift my arm so I went to see my chiropractor and I have a rotary cuff strain (superendoutous whatever the word is). No overhead work for 2 weeks if I want to be able to be a lifetime Crossfitter which is my primary goal. Training for the Crossfit Sectionals was a personal goal and even though I will not compete I have still achieved it in the fact that I know that I could have done all the WODs RXed except for the 2 muscle ups which is my goal for next year. I also have improved in many aspects of Crossfit which I am sure I would have otherwise not have done had I not signed up for this event way back in December!!

    I will be a spectator tomorrow to cheer on Marcel and all the other NB Athletes as well as wear my Crossfit T-shirt proudly. Thanks Janine for all the hard word and advice to help me get in great shape and ready for the games. Looking in my journal last night with my chiro we discovered that my training was excellent and other than the fact that I “practiced my clean and jerks” on Tuesday night without warming up the muscles first because of my “I am scared” attitude I would have probably been okay. I specifically remember Janine saying “hey your late and you need to warm up get going” but instead I grabed the 65 bar that was on the ground and clean and jerked it! Guess I am the jerk!!

    Thanks to all of you guys and gals who got me through all of these workouts these past few month. Sorry that I could not represent you! I’ll be back at it in a few weeks and finally do that mobility work Janine always goes on about!

    Marcel GO GET EM!!!!

    As far as I am concerned Kezia you represent us well everytime you give your all at the daily workouts.
    I am proud to be part of this growing group of athletes and futur athletes. I do not want this to turn into a motivational forum but you are an athlete Kezia and athletes should never be sorry to push beyond the limits of their aptitudes. When you are a leader or a frontrunner you not only have to accept that you will have injuries but you also have to accept that most of those injuries will not be accidental.
    Always keep you chin up or else you will hit the wall or J9 will shout at you for not having proper technique.

    Marcel will be the pillar this year, next year the weight will be held by more of us.

    Kezia, I am very sad to hear that you will not be competing… you would’ve done GREAT with all the hard work that you put in the last few months. Unfortunately, injuries are part of the game and they suck, I know I’ve had my fair share of strains over the last few years. I hope you get well soon and recover stronger than ever! I’m happy to see that your still coming this weekend to cheer. I guess there is a bit of pressure on me now, I’ve got to represent this great group that we have here at Crossfit Bathurst!

    One more thing, Dawn you better not be to hard on me, hehehe :)
    Fredericton, here we come!!!

    Top 20 Rémi!!! Un peu ambitieux je trouve. Donne moi un peu de ton cardio pi de ton expérience de compétition et j’ai peut-être une chance, hehehe. No seriously, I’ll do my best and be happy with whatever position I finish as long as I know I’ve given everything I had!

    Kezia, hats off to you for even having endured the training and anticipation of going! we all know you really wanted to do it, as everyone stated above, injuries happen, you know that just from being part of the runners world! Your attitude is great, glad to see you are going to cheer them on, I know Marcel will be happy about having the support too!

    Just a little hint to all you crossfit enthousiasts, I noticed there were not too many commnents about today’s fabulous work out selection! Well get ready for it! By, the way make sure you get bathroom duties out of the way first, my two trips really screwed my time, hey PR’d the bathroom time though!

    Dawn, be good to marcel, Good luck Marcel! Get some tips for the rest of us so next year we can go down and kick some ass with ya!

    Well thats it! You do your best and you’ll know if you’ve given all you’ve got. I’m always happy with my races if I know I had a good one regardless of what position I finished in. Your in control of yourself but can’t control the others!
    Good luck dude!!!

    Hey Janine! Can you replace my spot at the sectionals?
    See you guys tomorrow. Be careful driving!

    so… we made it safe to Fredericton. Checked in, went shopping at american Eagle :) and then headed over to the University Gym and met up with all the other peeps. We helped set up the equipement (while Marcel watched) The location is obviously not as big as last year (arena)but I think it’s gona be a lot more cozy and the ambiance should be pretty cool.

    Marcel is faithfully doing his mobility drills right now… and feels pretty good about tomorrow. He’s trying to be a tough guy and not admitting he’s nervous.. maybe it’ll hit him in the morning :)

    We’ll try to keep you guys posted as the day goes. but Roger and i have a pretty busy schedule for reffin. They should have updated scores up on the Games website. http://games2010.crossfit.com/

    Have a great weekend!

Fitness in a 100 words:

■ Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. ■ Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast. ■ Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. ■ Regularly learn and play new sports.
