Eugene Crossfit Games - We will mimick the games - everything will be scaled back to your ability.  Priority #1 is staying SAFE.   This has the potential to be more than you've ever done.  Don't be upset if I hold you back on the account of staying safe.  I am also trusting you to stay safe and not hurt yourself.

We are starting at 9AM.   Be there at least 5 minutes early.

So far, what we know - The first event is going to be a long run.  [wmv] [mov] The second event (30-40 minutes after) is a deadlift strength workout.  [wmv] [mov]

"This is too hard, I can't do this" is not a good excuse.  You are a Crossfitter, you can handle it, and I will scale it so you can do it.  You can do it!

You never want to try anything the first time on race day - This saturday is a great opportunity to test what you are going to eat and drink before, after and during the any event that you are doing in the future.  Here are some things they posted

"Athletes competing on Saturday will have to actively manage their recovery. 

"There are scheduled start times for each event, but even these will be a little fluid. You won't have the same luxury as last year of knowing you have approximately four hours to recover, refuel and reset before your next event. Be smart about taking rest when you can.

"Be flexible and prepared for a variety of scenarios. Have food and water in various quantities ready for you. Keep alert and in touch as the events unfold. Make sure that you are warmed up and ready to go when your next event is on.

Quote of the day:

"The trouble with cyclists is that their training establishment keeps reinforcing the silly bull**** that all recreational athletes want to believe: at some point, all serious athletes go outside their sport-specific work to improve, and recreational athletes just want to play their sport and wear the clothes."
