CrossFit 808 moves onto the Nor Cal Regionals!

‎"You are what you believe yourself to be."

-Paulo Coelho

Above:  My morning girls get their WOD on!  All of them used different loads for the deadlifts and had different rep schemes, but they all did the same amount of work.  In this particular WOD, going lighter does not mean moving less total weight because everyone needs to achieve the goal of moving 7000 lbs. for the women and 10000 lbs. for the men.

Today's WOD:
For time:
200 Double Unders
M-10000/W-7000 lbs. of Deadlifts
800m of Running

Partition the Double Under reps, Deadlift load and reps, and Running however you choose.
For example:  400m Run, then 5 rounds of: 40 Double Unders and 10 Deadlifts (200/140 lbs.), then 400m Run.

So its been over 7 weeks since we started the CrossFit Games Open and as a box we've attempted 6 different but equally brutal workouts.  Some long, some short, some heavy, some light, some with a lot of rounds, some with longer rounds.  For our rookie CrossFitters, some of the movements were a bit strange.  For some of our competing athletes the loads in the workouts were PRs!  Most of our competing athletes finished the entire 6 workouts, others were knocked out here or there.  Regardless, everyone, including those who only did it because I "forced" you to, became better CrossFitters for it.

So you want to know the 411 on how those that competed did?  Our affiliate team finished 7th in the Northern California Region and will advance to Regionals on June 3rd.  Those that completed all of the 6 workouts without scaling can compete with our affiliate:  Coach John, Coach Cheyne, Mike Kinzie, Hoku, Mike Ballenger, Brandy, Lei Felipe, Rome, Maila, Katrina, Nakoa, Danny, TJ, Jackie, and Seth.  Individuals that placed in the top 60 for the Northern California Region in their respective genders, who earn a spot at the Nor Cal Regional:  Kyla, Coach Josh, and myself.

More details about Regionals will be released later this week on the CrossFit Games website.  For now, we know it'll take place on June 3rd to June 5th and be in San Jose, California, so you can book your flights if you'd like come up and watch the Nor Cal Regional!  Did someone say CrossFit vacation?
