God kveld folkens!
Gratulerer med dagen. I dag er CrossFit Verftet 7 år gammel!
It's August, it was sunny today, and the CrossFit Games are starting this week!
I think everybody already knew about that August and sunny part, but the CrossFit Games are like the World Cup for CrossFit athletes that use this training methodology as a sport. I am always astounded by the feats of fitness that you see there and fired up to train after watching it! You can follow all of the action, starting on Wednesday, through www.games.crossfit.com
If you'd like to watch it with us, this Friday evening from 19:00 we will meet up at Sportsbaren to watch a lot of fitness throwing down, have some laughs, and maybe an adult beverage or two.
In preparation for the Games, we recorded the newest episode for the VerftetPodden today with special guest Emilia Leppänen ( @emiliajosefiina on Instagram). Emilia is the Dog-mom to Peppi, works as the Country Manager for the Nordics out of CrossFit HQ and qualified for the masters in the 35-39 years old categories this year. We had a fun conversation about her background and training as an athlete, work as a representative of CrossFit HQ, and showing some love to Verftet if she wins an event at the games 😉
Today's workout was something we don't do every day. It is a lot of fun though, to move around heavy weights over long distances quickly. We did some sled pulls, sandbag carries, tire flips, sandbag ground to box, and ski-erg in a team to get your heart racing, blood pumping, and muscle fibers firing. Our seniors did exactly the same workout, which makes them strong seniors!
At the end of the day, this was the whiteboard. But more important than the scores on it, you cought some Vitamin D, moved a grand total of a lot of weight, and spend some time with like-minded people! #winning
Time to rest, rinse and repeat. See you tomorrow!
Thaddeus
