I know there will be differing dates for the sectionals for the qualifying process for some Big Dawgs; just wanted to let everyone know that I am aware of this and will do my best to ensure everyone is prepared for their individual goals/competitions...even if you are not competing, it is imperative that you still follow cycles in your training plan...there has to be a purpose...and an end line in sight that scares/excites you!

    good times...I like the anticipation of not knowing the WODs, but knowing the general scheme of the cycle (ie: single/double/triple on each given day) really makes it easier for me to plan my schedule around.

    Coach,

    Trying to adopt your program. Did the snatch/burpee couplet but lost the fight against the flu later than night and am only just getting over it now. I'm going to jump in at the beginning of the current phase, so I'll be a ways behind everyone. What I wanted to ask is, is the rx'd rest period the minimum, maximum, or precise time?

    Thanks, Noah

    Thanks Coach. I'm really looking forward to getting after it! The specialized training mixed with the variety always keeps me guessing. I do have to work on my intensity a bit more and really go after these WODs im leaving too much in the tank.

    This really helps plan my schedule ahead of time. The "end of the line" scares/excites me but first I need to get through the triple on the 12th. That itself is scary/exciting!

    Ok, this info is awesome.

    Now, I have a request for the Refuel packaging guys: Can you put the friggin' scoop in last?

    Haha, thanks Sweeney. Couldn't agree more.

    I'm excited about the triple on the 12th! Crossfit Durham (in North Carolina) is hosting a competition on the 12th. Will consist of three workouts. "Fittest Man in NC," perfect.

    Any other Big Dawgs in the South East US going?

    Coach, any recommendations on scaling for upcoming comps?

    I see the mention of sectionals. I haven't been able to find any info on sectionals beyond the fact they they will exist. Am I totally out of the loop? Have they release the info for the sectional?

    no info yet on sectionals, coming soon on CF games website
    Noah and everyone else, to answer the question, everyone should jump in NOW...i do not go back and look at scores from previous days...only current scores/weights/times/%'s...so if you want to benefit from the overall plan, get in the boat and row with everyone else (this boat is going somewhere..err...or something like that...its a Newfie saying)
    this florida heat is getting to me, Naples Sheriff SWAT obstacle course tomorrow, video to come.

    Coach,

    Thanks for the advise, I'll stay current with the WoDs. My first post-flu recovery WoD will be today. I'm still unclear on the rx'd rest period though. Is the timing set as a minimum, maximum, or is it precise?

    Thanks, Noah
