CrossFit Redding Shows Up To Play

MONDAY, MAY 21ST, 2012
Open Class 6:00pm / 7:00pm

After a long, gruelling, but exciting weekend at the NorCal CrossFit Regionals competition your CrossFit Redding Competition Team finished 6th place overall. This was out of 110 teams that began the competition back in March during the open. I'm very proud of my team and am already looking forward to next year. Hopefully I'll get some pictures from the weekend to put up soon.

How To Follow The Northern California CrossFit Regionals

THURSDAY, MAY 17TH, 2012
No Classes

Tomorrow kicks off the 1st of 3 days of the Northern California CrossFit Regional competition. CrossFit Redding is sending a very hopeful team as well as two individual athletes, one in the men's division (Victor Dowell) and one in the women's division (Stephanie Smith).

At this time I am not sure if there will be a live stream of the competition but I will keep you updated here as well as on facebook so you can support from home. Right now here are the best resources I know of to keep you connected with the action.

HOW TO FOLLOW THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA REGIONALS
Here you will find links to the current leaderboards, social media updates, recap videos, highlights and more.

NORTHERN CALIFORNIA EVENT DETAILS
Here you will need to scroll down past the highlight videos and the "Leaderboard" to get to the event details, which will give you the times of the workout heats. Note that you may need to click the "expand" button to view all times for the day. Notice that 10:00am kicks off the weekend with the 1st team workout and the 2nd team workout is not until 1:24pm. (I'll be in the afternoon heats just in case you were wondering).

Thanks to everyone for your support and I'll be looking forward to getting back to our workouts on Monday next week.

A Prelude To Cooking Oils

WEDNESDAY, MAY 16TH, 2012
Open Class 3:00pm / 6:00pm

NOTE: There will be no class this Thursday/Friday/Saturday as I will be making my way down to San Jose to compete in the NorCal Regionals with the rest of the CrossFit Redding Affiliate athletes and coaches. I will keep you posted as to whether the regional will be broadcast live or not.

Here's a common question I get all the time - "Which oils should I cook with and which ones shouldn't I cook with?" Another is, "which oils should I eat or not eat...not necessarily cook with or not, just consume?"

Below is an article to get you started.

Something To Chew On

MONDAY, MAY 14TH, 2012
Open Class 6:00pm / 7:00pm

NOTE: There will be no class this Thursday/Friday/Saturday as I will be making my way down to San Jose to compete in the NorCal Regionals with the rest of the CrossFit Redding Affiliate athletes and coaches. I will keep you posted as to whether the regional will be broadcast live or not.

Now consider this...after watching Mat Lalonde's video from the last post as well as Robb Wolf's video from three posts before, which do you think is more effective and why?

Think about if you had to convince your Mom / Grandma / Grandpa / best friend / brother or sister / coworker / etc. Not to say that either of these experts couldn't talk to anyone on any level, because they both can, but which do you think would resonate with the general majority of people? Maybe even yourself?

What does this mean to you?
