1) The format for the 2 man/woman event on the 26th of June has changed (Thank Tank, his big blue heart couldn't stand watching someone get picked last).........We are going to spin the bottle and let Nutts decide who the teams are.

2) Andy's parents will be there to hand out the Nutts CUP. They are really great people, really fun and dynamic. Come out to support them in the celebration of their son's life.

3) There is a sign up sheet in the gym: This guy died for our country, the least we can do is show respect for his life. If 7 people show up it will be a fucking travesty of all things good.

4) Intoduction to Crossfit for the newbies starts at 11am. Individual competition is at 1pm

5) BBQ kicks off at 2:30pm

6) Party is at 9pm. Bring a single friend. Free drink for both of you if it is a female. Andy would have loved that feature.

It is going to be a real fun upbeat day. Go to the Facebook Event Page to sign up for the event.

GIDDYUP....see you all on the 26th

Rowing Seminar and 2 km Indoor Regatta



Hosted by: Emily Beers (former University of Western Ontario rower)

Date: Saturday, May 15th. 1 pm - 4 pm

How to sign up: e-mail Emily at punky@crossfit.ca, or phone her at: 778-887-7903

Cost: $35 ($25 for CrossFit Vancouver members)

The Day:

1. The Regatta: A 2 km row on the ergometer. We are going to connect the ergs electronically like they did at the BC Sectional competition. This will allow you to see what place you are in and how much behind the leader you are. It will also allow spectators to watch the race on a screen. Like at an indoor rowing regatta, you will compete in your weight class.

- Heavyweight: over 135 lbs. for women and 165 lbs. for men.
- Lightweight: under 135 lbs for women and 165 lbs. for men.

2. Rowing Seminar: I will spend an hour to an hour and a half discussing proper rowing technique, focussing on common mistakes that I have noticed CrossFitters make. We will go over:

1. Body positions
2. Stroke rate
3. Racing Strategies
4. Rhythm, Ratio, Arm speed
5. CrossFit Misconceptions:
(For example: The Drag Factor - CrossFitters often crank the
drag to a 10 when they race, which isn’t ideal).

The goals of the day are to:

1. Help athletes become more efficient rowers: Efficiency on the erg will both improve your 2 km row score, and it will let you to turn the row portion of a workout like Christine into the rest part of the WOD.

2. Give CrossFit coaches new and beneficial coaching cues.

Prizes for the winners!
