Happy Birthday Todd!!/Better Body Challenge Day 23

The BB Challenge is nearly over!! 

The tentative schedule is to end the Challenge on Wednesday, February 15th.  If you had your BF% check done by Jamie C., she will be available that Tuesday and Wednesday.  Dan will be available all day Wednesday.  It's important to get the check redone by the same person.  We'll be doing the baseline WODs that week, and Friday will be the Team WOD.  All the %'s and Pics will be compiled that weekend, and posted the following week to determine the winner!

Congrats to Kelly and Bekah, who got 2nd and 3rd in the Rx Division!!!

I almost forgot to thank the support network our athletes had at the competition.  From judging (Deb, Jamie C., Justin, Daily, Boggs, Paul, and Hobbit) to all the cheering fans in the crowd.  Dan Healy even brought a massage table to work out some tight lower backs even though he was in the competition.  Samantha Keller was there the entire day taking amazing pictures, and even used her EMT skills on a fallen athlete.  Our community is by far the best.  We couldn't do it without you!

Here's a link to the final results

The first WOD was counted technically as two.  If a competitor came in 1st, they had a score of 100, 2nd was 95, 3rd was 90, and so on.  DNF got zero.

Reminder that the Crossfit Games Open starts this month.  If you enjoyed competing this past weekend, or want to give it a shot, sign up.  We'll be gathering with other boxes on occasion to do the WOD's together to get the competition vibe going.  There's nothing to lose.  See how you stack up against Rich Froning Jr. and Annie Thorisdottir (Worlds strongest man and women, Crossfit Games 2011)

"Tabata This"

Tabata Intervals ( 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest repeated 8 times) is applied in turn to the Squat, Rower, Pullups, Sit-ups, and Push-ups with a one minute rotation break between exercises. Each exercise is scored by the weakest number of reps (calories on the rower) in each of the eight intervals. During the one minute rotation time allowed the clock is not stopped but kept running. The score is the total of the scores from the five stations.
