It is so important to constantly challenge ourselves physically. We are people wanting to influence each other and others we meet along the way.
This is where we can get workouts for the day, track your times, pr's, ask and reply to questions and comments.

This is also where we will share what events we are participating in and opening them up to the rest of the team to take part in.

March is almost HERE!

Tuesday starts a new month....  MARCH!
March is a great month with lots going on- March Madness, warmer weather, St. Patrick's Day (you may need to come to Fox Lake for this), canoacopia/bike-o-rama, registering at your local CSAs for summer produce, and the start up for events!

We are participating in one event this month~

Fight for Air Climb- Milwaukee- March 19th

Some things to keep in mind are the other events that we are taking part in- the goal is possibly one per month.. Which have been scheduled through May and Toughmudder in July.  Come June it would be great to find something other than running- maybe a bi-athlon or a bike race. 
REMEMBER-
Bring your friends along!  Or if you are interested in coming don't hesitate to ask!  I (val) am a little overwhelming, E would say I scare others at first, but I just get really excited to meet new people (or to see old friends in that case)!  It is awesome to see how many people have turned to events and look forward to them in the summer... such an inspiring thing- so be influencial on those around you!  View it as a time to socialize and get out and have fun with a couple other thousand people for some of these events...  

If you have trouble signing up for events under our team-  ANYthing Once
here is who you should talk to:
Lung Climb- Tara R
Toughmudder-  TB
Crazylegs- individual
Cellcom Half- individual~  unless you have signed up previously, this race is now closed for registration.

Happy Sunday!  Having a ROAD TRIP starting tomorrow 8am- will be working out on the beach come Tuesday-  Thinking this may be the last whoRA for my 20's with everything going on in our lives.. so no better time than the present- right!  E is watching the animals and working hard... how lucky am I!! 

Here is to another great week of pushing yourself and working on your fitness!

Saturday Pears

Well...Another week down!  Val ~ Great job on yesterdays workout...You were right to use no momentum for the shoulder press...Goodmornings were very tough for the last couple sets...Feeling it today!

Randy would be a tough one w/o boxes to touch the bar to...otherwise it is a bit to low...Great Work!!!!

Today is with partners...

Warm-Up on your own!

Opposing Ladders (from Practice Crossfit)
Grab a partner...
10-1 & 1-10 of the following:

Swings (55#)
HSPU
Burpees
Wall Ball

One partner starts with 10, the other with 1 of the exercise, then 9 & 2,8 & 3 and so on...until the first person reaches 1 and the second partner reaches 10.  After the first exercise is finished, move on to the next going the opposite direction (if you ended with 1...start you next exercise with 1...ended with 10...

Tough WOD

Hepp & Syd = 38:03
tb & Reeder = 38:39

HSPU were BRUTAL!!!!
Hepp & tb started swings & Burpees @ 10
Syd & Reeder started HSPU & Wall Ball @ 10...definitely the tougher way...finishing 10 swings going into 10 HSPU, finishing 10 Burpees going into 10 Wall ball!

Some weekend motivation:
