Coach Cheyne: 27 weeks pregnant and still pulling strong!

"A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others."

-Ayn Rand

Above: Leave your excuses at the door!  That's Coach Cheyne's motto.  Even 27 weeks into her first pregnancy, she is still getting her WODs in as well as her "weighted" strict pull-ups!  We will continue to monitor her and the baby as they journey through pregnancy plus CrossFit.

Today's WOD:
4-person team
AMRAP in 20 minutes:
400m Run
KB Swings (53/35 lbs.)
Gamer Push-ups
Box Jumps (20")


While one person is running the 400m Run, the other team members try to get as many reps as possible in their respective element (KB Swings, Push-ups, or Box Jumps).  Rotate when team member returns from run. Runner to KB Swings, KB Swings to Push-ups, Push-ups to Box Jumps, Box Jumps to the 400m Run.

12-days till tip-off!

The CrossFit Games are less than 2-weeks away and I just want to thank everyone at the box for their love and support over the past months!  It has been a long journey to the Games this year and I could not have done it without you guys--whether you've given me words of encouragement or stayed to help me clean the box up after the classes, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.  I am so lucky to call CrossFit 808 and all of the freaking' awesome members my box!  Here are a couple of important announcements for the week of July 25-July 31:

1. No non-CrossFit 808-members will be allowed to join our classes during this week (July 25-July 31).  This means if you are new to our gym (a.k.a. NOT a current member) and want to try out on of classes, you will have to wait till Wednesday, August 3rd.

2.  The gym will be closed on Friday, July 29th and Saturday, July 30th--this means NO CLASSES.  We, the coaching staff, hope that you will be glued to your computer watching the streaming live CrossFit Games!  This may be the only time I ever allow you to be glued to your computer!  We will post WODs for both days on the website, so you can do those during the breaks in the competition.  You will be able to view the CrossFit Games at http://games.crossfit.com/content/watch-live.

3.  We are also looking to have a post-CF Games box BBQ on Saturday, August 13th, so save the date!

4.  If you reserved a jump rope, they have arrived (both shipments), so bring your $13 and its yours!  I will hold them for another week, then they go to whoever wants them.
