Announcing the 1st Annual CFW Real Food Challenge!!!

“Eat meats and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, no sugar.”  It’s the first line of World Class Fitness in 100 Words.  It’s also the most underestimated in its role in our fitness and performance.  If you really want to start seeing results it’s time to start thinking more about what you put into your body.  You put the effort into your training, now I challenge you to put the same effort into your diet.  Check out the details here.

Just released: More details on the 2010 Affiliate Cup

http://games2010.crossfit.com/affiliatecup/affiliate-cup-competition-2010.html

Our affiliate team for regionals will be at least 2 men and 2 women and up to 6 competitors total. 12 teams from Canada may qualify for the CrossFit Games 2010 Affiliate Cup. The Games team must be made up of 3 men and 3 women which do not have to be the same members as the regional team.

So, as we discussed in the team meeting, “try-outs” started awhile ago and will be ongoing. We will announce a team for Regionals and, assuming success at Regionals, we will announce a team for the Games…. so, basically, even if you don’t make it to the “Regional Team”, you may still have a chance at the Games team!

If anyone who is interested in participating in the Affiliate Cup or the 2010 CrossFit Central Canada Sectionals did not make the meeting on Sunday, talk to Tania or Brendan as soon as possible. Sectionals: March 27 & 28  in Edmonton…. Regional Affiliate Challenge May 29 & 30 in Calgary….
