1st…
Our 1st RainCross Beach Sesh Was A Success!!!
20+ RainCross Athletes & Family Members Showed Up To Huntington Beach… Set Up Shop… Flew Our “Flag” Proud… And Enjoyed A Day Out Of The Station & In The Sand!!!
We Ended Up Performing 5 WODs!!!
Yes… 5 WODs!!! Well… For Some Us….
WOD 1… Bringing All Our Personal Gear… Work Out Equipment… EZ Ups… Etc… From The Parking Lot To The Sweet Spot Eric Got Us… (Thanks Again Eric For Heading Out There So Early & Saving Us A Spot Before It Got Too Crowded!!!)
WOD 2… A 5 Person Team WOD That Included DB Thrusters… Burpees… And Sprints… In The Sand… Obviously…
WODs 3 & 4… 2 SUPER INTENSE VOLLEY BALL GAMES!!! Guys vs. Girls… The Guys Ended Up Winning Both Games… BUT… A Lot Of Us… Both Guys & Girls… Were Approached By A Few Semi-Pro Volleyball Recruiters & Were Asked To Try Out For A New Beach League That Is Starting Up This Summer!!!
Yea… That Didn’t Happen At All… LOL!!! Let’s Just Say… We’re All Going To Just Stick To CrossFit!!!
And WOD 5… Well… WOD 5 Was A Repeat WOD… But In Reverse…
Taking Back All Our Gear From Our Beach Spot Back To The Parking Lot!!!
Sadly… None Of Us Got A Volleyball Sponsorship… BUT… I Did Hear That A Bunch Of People Were Filming Us From The Pier As We Were “Actually Working Out”… So That’s Cool…
Our “Flag”… The RainCross EZ Up Caught Everyone’s Eye & Got A Lot Of Attention…
All In All… Great Day With Great People…
Cant Wait For The Next Beach Trip…
Next RainCross Outing Will Be Some Place Local… No WODs… Just Dinner & Drinks @ A Local Restaurant… Details To Come Soon…
2nd…
This UpComing Week… Is Our “Strength Rest Week”…
For Those Who Know… Know What’s Coming…
‘Nuff Said…
3rd… Happy Birthday Dani!!! (It’s Still Saturday, June 1st… Not Belated!!!)
Dani Is One Of Our Newest RainCross Athletes…
I’m Not Going To Try To Fake The Funk… I’m Still Getting To Know Dani… But… From What I Can Tell From The 2 Months That She Has Been With Us… She Puts In HardWork In Every Aspect Of Her Life… As Far As “CrossFit”… It Was Definitely A Change From Her Usual Fitness Routine… And She Made That Clear To Me On Day 1… And I Mean That In The Nicest/Proudest Way Possible… Basically Letting Me Know That Her Previous/Current Fitness Routine Was Very “Pilate-ish”… BUT… Was Very Eager & Willingly To Give This “CrossFit” Thing A Try… And That’s All I Asked… A Lot Of People Think “CrossFit” Isn’t For Them… (The Truth Is… It’s Literally For Everybody… It’s Just Different From What You’re Used To…) And I’m Sure Dani Had Some DrawBacks At First… Then… Next Thing You Know… I See Her Posting About A Recent Bench Press PR She Hit One Morning @ The Station… And I Knew… She Got Bit By The Bug… And You Wanna Know When I Really Knew She Found A 2nd Home With The Station?!?! When She Came In Last Thursday… The Only Athlete @ 6AM… To Knock Out That “3 Mile/9 DeadLifts” WOD… ALL ALONE!!! She Could Have Very Easily Ran Around Her Neighborhood & Skipped Out On The Heavy DeadLifts… But She Didn’t!!! Proud Coach…
That’s All The Stuff I Get To “See”… What I Don’t Get To “See”… But I Get To Hear About… How Much Of A Loving & Caring Mother & Wife She Is… And Just An Overall Hard Worker…
So Happy Birthday Dani… Even If It’s A Little Late… Very Proud You Found A Home @ The Station @ Proud To Have You Part Of The RainCross Family!!!
