"One of the most utterly surprising scientific findings of recent decades has got to be that fat isn’t so bad for you after all. (Apart from, you know, potentially bringing on serious heart conditions.) In fact, if you’re looking for a reason for America’s ballooning girth, you’ve got to lay the blame on carbohydrates--in other words, bread and pasta, the very things that the government once advertised as the foundation of a healthy diet in the food pyramids we all grew up with..." -READ MORE

Attention all LF students... Do you know T.J.? He's a member of this community that has made an incredible transformation over the past year or so. Basically, CrossFit changed his life... He used to be an overweight, out of shape "older" guy, that is now a serious BAD ASS. Well, this Sunday is your chance to come out with us to support T.J. as he enters his first CF competition; The "NorCal 40's", an event for 40+ men/women. WE ARE REALLY HOPING TO SEE YOU ALL THERE. See below for the email I received from him earlier today...



Hey All -
They posted the heat times for Sunday. There are three WODs they announced and there will be four "floater WODs" which are smaller that will be sprinkled throughout the day. We won't know those until Sunday morning. They published that the competition starts at 8am, but the first heats are not until 9am, so not sure what is happening that first hour (maybe the first floater or orientation etc.).

I am Athlete (sounds weird huh?) #125 and my times are:
WOD 1: 1.1 Mile Run in a 20 pound weighted vest - 9:30am
WOD 2: 30 Squat Snatch at #125 (20 DU penalty for every missed rep) - 11:57am
WOD 3: 7 Minute AMRAP of 7 C2B Pull-Ups, 10 DB Push Press #40, 10 KB Swings 1.5 pood - 2:48pm

There are 92 athletes competing, 61 of which are men! So I have my work cut out for me. I am most nervous about the squat snatch but it seems that is a source of concern for many of the athletes. A few have said they may not even be able to do one rep at that weight. Even Freddy Camacho says it will be hard for him! Hopefully I won't be doing too many double unders! So remembering what Chris told me, I am just going to do the best I can, give it my all and HAVE FUN!

Event Info Published by the Gym:

There will be a full bar, also for sale by Craneway. There will be a $5 spectator fee (kids 15 and under free). Thanks Guys for all the amazing encouragement and feeding my needy ego, LOL! I am going to do my best to represent LaLanne Fitness and make you all proud! If someone would have told me two years ago I would be entering a fitness competiton, I would have laughed my ass off, wiped the frosting off my face and mooched a smoke. Yet here I go!
