Lurong WOD 4.  Please review L1, site 2 and 3 options.  It’s basically thrusters and T2B or sit-ups. The 2013 CrossFit Games will begin airing on ESPN tomorrow!  I dumped cable a couple of years ago, order so I rarely get to see these productions.  I’m sure many of you will get questions about CrossFit from folks who are learning about it the first time from ESPN.  That still blows my mind – for many of us our introduction to CrossFit was through a website or finding a warehouse in a semi deserted parking lot. Paleo Update/Confessions I’m actually surprised how much I’m enjoying this challenge.  I’ve “cheated” once, story at a wedding, and even then, the food was high quality and nutrient dense.  Well, maybe not Todd’s beer, but it was delicious. I really miss cream in my coffee from time to time.  When I go with cream, I...Read more

Some schedule adjustments from my FB post: Lurong WOD 4 (Thruster/T2B) will be on Wednesday.  I originally thought the score was due next Sunday, buy more about but Adele pointed out WOD 4 is due THIS Sunday.  We will allow for make-up times on Saturday as well. The Ground to Overhead (G2O)/Burpee Box Jump couplet will be moved to Friday. The CFO Total will be Saturday.  It will be a combination of your best lifts of: Thruster (from the ground), case Weighted Pullup, Weighted Pushup. We will be rolling out info for the Franiversary this week – we will announce movements and loads this week.  We will begin announcing the WODs next week – we want you to practice them, strategize, and go as fast a humanly possible.

October’s CrossFit Oakdale Athlete spotlight is Joel B. By Tricia Wessling “I need to run faster…. Or have Joel run for me?”- Conney Chaney Frazee regarding the most recent Lurong Challenge WOD That’s right Joel is down right fast, more about like sneaky fast and his fellow CFO’ers know it. I like to call folks like him “outside smokers” they come out of no where (unassumngly fast) and smoke everyone on runs or WODS or BOTH! AND He’s gunning to BEAT one of us!! YESS!I [ who? If I told you, I’d have to kill you. It’s on the DL  😉 ] Joel has been super fun to coach and watch as he continues to get stronger and faster. I’m glad he found his “home” at CFO. OH ! He has a great laugh too. Let’s get to know a bit more about Joel… How were you introduced to Crossfit...Read more

***************CrossFit Oakdale will be closed on Friday afternoon/evening******************** Couple of observations. Alison and I are not sure what happened, information pills but the blog screen changed to all blue.  We didn’t set this, and we don’t know how to change it back.  CrossFit History – the original CrossFit.com screen was blue (like ours is now) and was referred to lovingly as “the blue screen of death.”  If someone, or all of you, began referring to the blog as “blue blue screen of death” it would warm the cockles of my heart. We’re less than 2 weeks into the Lurong Paleo Challenge, and we’re seeing interesting stuff.  Paul G told me he was down 9 pounds last night.  If you’ve ever been around Paul, you may be wondering where he was hiding these 9 pounds, but there it is.  Minutes later, he proceeded to crush the Hang Clean/Sprint Couplet in 2:50. ...Read more
