Saturday is the Recon Run Free Kid’s Mud Run in Tracy. If you haven’t signed up your kid, this click here.  It is 400m with some obstacles thrown in. Let us know if you are attending the mud run and we can all meet at the gym and drive up together. There will be no classes at CrossFit Oakdale this Saturday since we are headed out to the run. We will be doing some sort of WOD out there for the adults, ambulance so be prepared. I would also be prepared with an extra set of clothes and shoes for those muddy little buggers who come off the run. ReconRun was kind enough to offer 2 free mud run tickets to their event in June. If you are interested in these tickets, pharm we will be competing for them in the next few weeks. Let Alison know if you want to...Read more

Is there a more Oakdalian place the Ferrarese’s?  Great local food, visit web large portions and good prices.  And of course, our Oakdale boy, Chance, has a special sandwich at Ferrarese’s.  We tried to order it over the weekend, and screwed it up.  You’ll have to ask Chance about the specific’s but it’s delicious (and not paleo).  The sandwich is known as the “Clark Especial”. What’s you’re favorite meal at Ferrarese’s?  Please post to Facebook. Chance should have his own workout to go with the sandwich.  At the Moxie Throwdown last year, Chance took second against a tough field  in a total gut check WOD: Max Over head walk for distance with a 95 pound barbell.  Chance locked incept his head top, and just kept going, passing other tough competitors with sheer will.  When he finally dumped the bar, he had walked farther than any athlete before him.  His distance...Read more

This Saturday is the Kid’s Recon Run in Tracy.  It’s a free 400m mud run for the Kids.  In all likelihood, this we’ll close the gym for Saturday, and cheer on the Kids.  BUT…that doesn’t mean the grown ups can’t have fun, too.  I plan on bringing some equipment, so we can do a fun outdoor  WOD for the grown ups after the kids run, then eat there. Don’t forget the mobility clinic at 7:30 on Wednesday night.  Bring your foam roller or favorite implement of torture. Alison and I have been super busy during the week past few weeks.  The growth at CFO has been amazing, and we’re having a great time!  But, we do like our rest days.  We usually spend some time cleaning the gym, but if we’re lucky, we get to bum around the house.  Cooking for the week, hanging out, swimming in the summer, but...Read more
