We have a sign up sheet on the cork board for anyone interested in purchasing their own jump rope. These suckers are sweet! Ropes as Rx’d are the best ropes I have ever used. They are well worth the money. They are customized to your height and look cool too. Sign up if you want one, as soon as the sizing rope arrives from them, we will measure everyone who is ordering and place the order. The discount increases the more we order so order one for your friends too!

Jim Keegan will be talking about the GORUCK challenge after BUTT Camp on Saturday. If you are at all interested in coming along with us on this challenge, be sure to come in for the meeting. We will be holding special workouts for GORUCK ONLY members who are signed up and paid. SISU members signed up for GORUCK can train for free, anyone else who wants to train for the GORUCK with us will cost $200 so invite your friends who want to train for this. Training will consist of AT LEAST one GORUCK specific workout per week (usually on Saturday) until the event May 12th. Training will begin the week of March 5th and continue through the event. This is at least 10 workouts specifically designed for the GORUCK. 

Thursdays class will be mostly prep for the Open WOD on Friday. The Open WOD will require someone to observe your workout to approve movement standards and count your reps. Friday will be normal class times. We will basically have open gym from 6:30-8:30, 9:30-10:30, 5:30-7:30. A warm-up will be posted on the board but you can do whatever gets you all warm and fuzzy and ready for burpees. Movement standards will be reviewed and are available for explanation HERE. You can do this WOD whenever you are warm and ready and have a judge. This will be the format for Thursday and Friday classes for the next 6 weeks with the Friday format possibly changing as the WOD’s change. 

Saturday is Pat’s Big Show debut at CrossFit Minneapolis as he gives his best efforts at earning the Fittest Man Alive (age 45-49) title. We will be heading over there around 1:00 and then having beers and things at Kirin’s Irish Pub afterword. Come down and enjoy the amazing CrossFit community you are all a part of! 

Thank you,

Coach J
