CrossFit Lakewood ended up having 15 athletes register to compete on our Affiliate Team for the 2011 CrossFit Games! After CFHQ decided to extend Week 1’s workout for another 7 days, the majority of us decided to go after it again.

In case you didn’t know what the workout was, click here to see the official release and explanation. Here it is, though:

Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 10 minutes of:
30 Double-unders
15 Power snatches (75lbs / 35kg)

I’m proud to say that 100% of us that repeated the workout improved their previous score. Every single person! That is so awesome!

The pictures below are borrowed from Megan again (thanks, Meg!), but check out two of our studs doing work. I can’t wait for the second workout to be released on Tuesday! What about you?

2011 CrossFit Games: Week One Workout

So yesterday was the day that most of the athletes on the CrossFit Lakewood Competition Team completed the first workout for the 2011 CrossFit Games Open.

There were three full heats of competitors, and the energy was really high! After the dust settled, I think we were all very relieved to have the first week’s event over with.

A few hours later, though, they announced that the Week 1 Deadline had been pushed back one week.
I asked this in my last post, but am curious what you guys think:

Is it worth trying it again at some point this week to better our scores?!

I only filmed my heat (to check my form) of the workout, but if Orion puts together a video of the event, I’ll post it on here! For now, I’ll toss in a few pictures from Saturday, courtesy of Megan and Rachel!

YESS!!! Orion just put up the video of him and Greg tearing down the wall to double the space of CrossFit Lakewood!! This is so cool. I’m frustrated I wasn’t in town for this demo, I would have been right there next to you guys!

If you haven’t seen my post, complete with a tour of the space around 6 months ago, and just this past weekend after the renovation, click here to see it.

Way to go, guys! The space looks AMAZING! 🙂
