Hey there everyone, just wanted to remind you of a few things that are happening this month.


-Want to remind everyone that we have our second anniversary party/wod coming up in a few weeks on FEb 18th. We will be doing a big team workout in the morning at 10am and then meeting back up at morley field for a BBQ and hang out at 1pm. Most likely going somewhere after but that wil be determined. The BBQ will be B.Y.O.M/B we have own gril so far that someone will be bringing so if you want to contribute another grill or meat/appetizers or drinks let Coach P now and he can help keep track of who is bringing what. 

-Also the order for shirts and sweaters will being going in very soon so make sure to get your name on the sign up sheet with your name on it.  The winner of the t-shirt design is "HTFU" we are having a design made for it and you will see the finished pic soon!

-Yoga on the 11th will be cancelled... so make sure to attend the monday noon class to get your work in!

-Another big deal that is coming up is the CrossFit Open. Registration is open and the event starts on the 22nd. Last year we had a good crew of people sign up and it was pretty fun. This year we won't as many of you to sign up as possible and give it another go! Why would/should you sign up? The way it works is there is a wod posted at the beginning of the week online, after that you have 1 week to complete the workout and then you submit your score to the games website and your score helps the Elysium team. The more people we have sign up the better our gym does. The other cool thing about this is that when you upload your score you can compare your score to people of your same demographic from around the world and see how you compare. Many people were surprised at how well they did relative to people around the world. Last year they made the workouts pretty simple and many people were able to do several of the workouts full RX'd and help contribute to the team score. We will have a bigger post about this soon but i wanted to get the idea out there now. You may have seen some of my post about competition in the blog before, I think that participating in the competition side of this can be fun and a great experience for anyone and you should give it a try. Think of it like running a 5k or a marathon or a mud run... you don't enter to win the entire race, you enter to give a shot and do the best that you can.

Here is a video from last year. A few of us went down to CrossFit San Diego for a big group session for one of the workouts and it was a great time.
