This is the first week of the 2019 CrossFit Games Open. My team will have week 1. The theme? The Big Lebowski! Order up a White Russian, slip on your best bowling shoes, grab your rattiest bathrobe, and buy your half and half with a check for $0.69. I really want you to have a great Open. But I really, really want everyone to watch The Big Lebowski. Last year, I had Seinfeld week. That was 9 seasons of TV. This years, it’s just one movie. I might even invite my team over to watch.

Alison was completing the CrossFit Games online judges course… It is only $10 to do and is an excellent way to review the movements we do on a regular basis.  And the standards we adhere too.  No one likes to stare down their judge when they get no repped.  Learn the movements, do them correctly and it will be smooth sailing. (Alison just got no repped on a sentence:))FYI You will even find that they take movements that we “thought” we have mastered and add nuances, or wrinkles, to make the movement seem new, more interesting and even more challenging. For example, Alison had to do the split clean. I can count on 2 fingers the amount of times I have programmed the split clean in a workout in the past 7 years. Today is number 3.

On Saturday, at 10am, we will perform the CrossFit benchmark, Eva. Eva Twardokens recently sustained serious injuries following a plane crash on California’s Central Coast. There will ONLY be a 10am class. As a true renaissance woman and Santa Cruz resident, Eva T. was one of the original CrossFit fire breathers. She started CrossFit in the early 2000s after ending her Olympic skiing career. With that a background, she was a perfect crash test dummy for Greg Glassman. Eva T provided statistical data of what an elite athlete looked like, and how they could be pushed. Eva T appeared in a ton CrossFit media in the early to mid 2000’s. She was beautiful, she was fit, she was mentally tough. She attacked workouts with athleticism and grit. She was one of 3 athletes in what was probably CrossFit’s first viral video, Nasty Girls. As CrossFit grew, Eva T was on the Level 1 staff, opened gyms, became...Read more
