CFKoP Open Recap Week 3

Week 3 of the Open brought us the first repeat of the year.  Some people were excited and some were upset.  I was in the later category but the reason was because I knew that my work capacity decreased over the past year.  For better or for worse, benchmarks show us the efficacy of our training program.  When you slack off, the data clearly points it out for you.  You can either get depressed or use it as motivation going forward.  I hope all of you, like me, have identified one of your drivers for the 2013 calendar year.  That being said, 80% of the public that did 12.4 improved when doing it again in 13.3.  That is an amazing stat and if you were one of those, congratulations.  But do not rest there, your journey is only beginning and there is much more fun ahead of us.  After three workouts, we are beginning to see some shifts in the rankings.  There are gigantic swings every week so make sure that you are giving everything you have time and time again.  Below you will find the link for the CFKoP regional results after 13.3. 

  

Click here

As you will see, CrossFit KoP had a major set-back this week.  We are not mathematically eliminated from the competition but we would need some major PR's in the following two weeks to have a chance.  It was disappointing to see about 10 people drop from the competition this week.  I cannot stress how important it is to submit your score, no matter what it is.  Be one of the few that complete all of the workouts and be proud in that accomplishment.  Again, having the heart and bravery to do the Open puts you WAY ahead of the millions sitting on their couch looking at their unused gym membership.  

One thing that I hope we have all learned from this experience is that being number 1 in the gym is not enough to get us to the next level anymore.  The level of competition entering the sport of CrossFit continues to rise.  There is no doubt in my mind that we have the talent to rise to the occasion but it will take a change in mentality in how we train.  We need to view time spent in the doors of CF KoP as training, not gaming.  We need to continually push and test our limits so that we can continually improve and at much faster rates.  We cannot be afraid to fail because at that threshold is where magic happens.  To help in this regard, Aimee and I will be doing a competitors class at CF KoP starting shortly after the end of the Open.  This class will initially be open to the top 6 men and top 6 women in CF KoP as defined by Regional rankings.  The competitors class will be designed to challenge you more than you have been in the past, particularly in weight and volume.   If you didn't finish in the top 6, don't worry, as this class develops there will be periodic challenges that qualify additional members of the gym to participate.  Get excited, get pumped, get ready; 2013 may not be our year but we will make damn sure 2014 is! More details will follow after the open.

Get to know your coaches- Mike T.

1.     How long have you been doing Crossfit? Since 2008.  My wife introduced it to me when we were living in San Jose, CA.  She kicked my butt in our first WOD together, and I was hooked.

2.     What certifications do you have? – I completed my L1 in July 2011

3.     What future certifications do you want to get?  I would like to get a Gymnastics cert.

4.     What are your favorite things to coach?  My strength is bodyweight movements.  I think I have a lot of form and efficiency tips to help people get better at these types of movements including pull ups, muscle ups, burpees, and pushups.

5.     Why do you like coaching?  My favorite part of coaching is when that “light bulb” goes on for someone.  When someone can see that they are capable of so much more than they initially thought they were. 

6.     How would you classify your style?  Easy going, yet direct.  I think everyone (me included) needs a push now and then. 

7.     Other interests outside of Crossfit?  I love to do home improvements and see all the changes you can make to your home to improve it.  I also love spending time with my wife Beth and our daughter Emily.

8.     What are you top 2 Crossfit goals for 2013?  I want to do well in the 2013 Open and the SuperFit Games at KOP.  I have a great partner in Sam B. and am pumped to compete with him.

9.     Favorite Crossfit memory?  Completing a 245# Clean and Jerk at the 2012 Summer Slam.  I had never attempted that weight and only had one chance to do it.  It was a proud moment!

10.  What's your "day" job?  I have been in Industrial Gas Sales for 6 years.  Unfortunately, the company I was with recently downsized and I was laid off. 

11.  What would you be doing for exercise without Crossfit?  I would revert to my old “meathead” ways.  Lifting “back and bi’s”, “chest and tri’s”, super sets, negatives, and cable machines.  Ahh, Memories……..!

12.  Favorite cheat foods?  My diet is extremely loose, but I would say Gummy Worms and Peanut M&M’s!!!

Coaches Notes:
This workout can be done as a team if necessary.

On March 23, 2003, Master Sergeant Michael Maltz, a U.S. Air Force PJ (Para-rescue) was killed in action in a helicopter crash along with 5 of his brother PJ's while attempting a rescue mission of injured/sick children in the mountains of Afghanistan. MSGT Maltz is the late brother of Derrick Maltz, Special Agent in Charge of SOD. According to those who were close to him, MSGT Maltz possessed an enormous amount of strength and stamina. Bearing this in mind, a workout was specifically developed that would be particularly challenging in honor of him. The 4th Annual MALTZ CHALLENGE is being held today by DEA Offices around the world in honor of MSGT Maltz and others who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our country, we at CrossFit King of Prussia will honor Master Sergeant Michael Maltz by completing this WOD in his honor. Bearing this in mind, a workout was specifically developed that would be particularly challenging in honor of him.

Post 13.2 Results

All of you may have noticed that the post the other day showed us how we ranked within the gym but it does not necessarily reflect how you rank in the Region.  Since many of you care about that, I present the following since I am so nice.  You will notice that the ranking are different in many cases.  When looking at this list, do not focus on what your number is...you are moving your body and that is better than a LARGE percentage of the population so be proud and happy.  Congratulations...you are CrossFit.  Also, I must apologize in advance...since I sort by regional rank, I have no choice but to separate the "masters" from the larger population despite the fact that in many cases they are scoring better than those in the regular population.  Sorry, for your ranking, you will need to resort to the gym ranking.  Without further ado, click on the following link to see how things are shaping up.

Next up in 13.3.  It is another repeat of last year and one that introduced the elusive muscle-up into the competition.  Will someone get their first one?  Come out and see on Saturday!

13.2 Recap

This week the Open brought us a box and a barbell.  The workout was an AMRAP in 10 minutes of 5 shoulder to overhead (115/75#), 10 deadlifts (115/75#) and then 15 get on top of a box (24/20").  The early number for the elite females was well over 300 so in order to be competitive, you need to either break the 300 barrier or come pretty damn close.  In this regard, our women stepped up to the plate with ALL THREE top scorers breaking the 300 barrier.  Interestingly enough, step-ups were the way to go in KoP as all top scorers used them.  Laura Pappas led the pack with 321 with Kate C and KT right behind.  The men had a slightly harder task in getting to 300 but our top men were not going down without a fight.  John C came the closest with 291 but Ryan and Vinny were hot on his tail with 285 each.  The overall team performance brought our standing in the Region up from 53 to 46.  A 7 place improvement in a week is important and if we can keep that trend for the remaining weeks in the Open, we will be heading to Regionals.  It will not be an easy feat and we will need to push ourselves to limits we did not think possible but if we can do that, we are still alive.  Here is hoping that 13.3 is something completely in our wheel house.  Good work everyone and lets continue to get this done.

The Overall Results from week 2 will be posted shortly as we finalize the spreadsheet.
