The CrossFit Games NorCal Regionals are May 24-26 at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds. Nick is competing and we hope to have news about more CrossFit Oakdale athletes competing next week. The Regionals are a super fun event – we hang out in the sun, # 60mg cook out, talk trash and cheer on some great athletes. It’s a different venue this year (previously we were in Santa Clara) but I’m pretty psyched to hang out in wine country. Any chance of a burger at Taylor’s Automatic Refresher???
In the Completely Unsubstantiated Observation Department – We recently bought 5 dozen eggs from Stueve’s Farm in Albers and Claribel. I mixed some of the eggs in a bowl to scramble them up, but I had some regular, store bought eggs left over so I threw them in. The difference was shocking – the Stueve’s eggs were so much more colorful it was crazy – bright orange and vibrant compared to the pale yellow store bought eggs. Do more colorful eggs mean better nutrition? I don’t know, but something tells me yes.
***Alison will be going out regularly to get eggs – $4 a dozen. Let her know if you are interested in getting some.***
We picked up some new equipment this week. Score! Alison nabbed a, wait for it…Air Dyne!!! OH. HELL. YES! Is your fitness ready for this medieval torture device???
