REST!

Yes, I know it is snowing and cold. I need you to come in on this rest day to learn some Olympic lifting. Today, we will teach the Snatch. We will also provide hot chocolate as an incentive to come and get better on your Olympic lifting.

No, we will not provide marshmallows!

NEWS
TiatnFit is growing. The growth is prompting us to move from the garage. Exciting? Yes! Change is always for the good! Stay tuned for additional updates!

MORE NEWS
DJ has entered the Indianapolis Indoor Rowing Championships. Check out the TitanFit Trainer's blog (link on the left) to get additional information on DJ and the other TitanFit trainers.

The Championship is:

Presented by FITNESS CONCEPTS
Hosted by the Indianapolis Rowing Center
January 24, 2009
International School of Indianapolis

WHAT : A 2000 meter race on indoor rowing machines. A race takes about 8 minutes and is a sprint. Competitors compete side-by-side in heats of 10 people. The machines are electronically linked. Their progress is depicted by video game boats racing down a course, so the spectators and competitors can watch the race on a big screen.

There are categories for all levels including age groups and skill levels. The oldest competitor is 90 and the youngest is 13. Most competitors are from Indianapolis, though teams also come from Bloomington, Lafayette, Elkhart, Fort Wayne, as well as Kentucky and Ohio.

WHO: Anyone can enter. No experience necessary, though if you’d like to train, we will help you!

WHAT CAN YOU WIN?? The winners of relay race* win their very own erg! Individuals who meet a time standard also win a free trip to Boston to compete at the International Indoor Rowing Championships. Last year, two competitors at this race won trips!

What does CRASH-B SATALITTE MEAN? It means if you meet the time standards for your age group — you can win a free trip to Boston to compete at the World Championships on Sunday, February 22, 2009. View the qualifying times on the concept 2 website http://www.concept2.com/us/racing/crashb/crashb_qual.asp

HOST: The Indianapolis Rowing Center (IRC). IRC has workouts posted on its website www.indyrowing.org and can help coach you through a training plan!

SIGN UP: Sign up online at www.regattacentral.com. Search “Regattas” for the Indianapolis Indoor Rowing Championships. Email Eric Stoll <estoll@sbcglobal.net> if you have any questions about registration.

COST: $25 per person. Enter as many categories as you like! Entry fee includes a T-shirt and helps to fund our outreach rowing program for urban teenage girls.

What about coffee? Cappuccino?

Just kidding.

CrossFitters are prepared for any type of road conditions or inclement weather. Therefore, I expect to see all of you at the gym tomorrow! (Although I might not be there. I've got plumbing problems and it's winter.)

And get ready for some exceptional, and long overdue, things to happen at TitanFit. (Yes, this includes a warmup...again, just kidding.)

CrossFit is all about change. And since you CrossFit, you'll adapt quickly.

Sorry, guys, it's a beauty day for me at the hairdresser's, but I DO want to learn a better snatch for sure, so hopefully Herb will carry this one over for me.
Heck, it's not even to learn a better one, it's to learn it at all, I was lousy the first time! Anyway I'll be there Friday.
If it's sugar free hot chocolate save me some...
