Sign up for the 800gram Nutrition Challenge!!

Two weeks ago on Facebook and in the Newsletter we dropped details on our next nutrition challenge: the #800gChallenge™. You can now signup HERE.   Note, we are starting a week later than we previously indicated to give people time to signup in the coming week.

So, What is the #800gChallenge?
The #800gChallenge is a fun and inclusive twist on eating healthy. First, there are NO foods to eliminate. That’s right! All you have to do is eat 800 grams, by weight, of fruits and vegetables each day. Why? It’s a simplified way to get all those servings of fruits and vegetables that are associated with health.

This challenge is by EC Synkowski of OptimizeMe Nutrition, a certified CrossFit Level 4 Coach who has educated thousands of individuals on nutrition.

Why a Challenge At All? 
Yes, you come to our affiliate for the workouts - but nutrition is AS IMPORTANT AS WORKING OUT. Re-read that. We get it! In our modern busy lives, we are ALL subject to falling off the proverbial nutrition wagon. We use challenges to provide that same group atmosphere that’s successful for workouts. It’s about getting back on the wagon, challenging yourself, and/or learning something new about your nutrition.

Cost
$40

Dates
Monday 11th February - Sunday 10th March

Ok, Ok, I’m In!

Great! Sign-up HERE

Want to Learn More?
Come to our member meeting this Friday, 8th Feb at 7pm to hear all the rules of the challenge.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW to GET EXCITED about the CROSSFIT OPEN at CFB in 2018

CrossFit Open 
A competition that runs for 5 weeks, with one workout per week. 
It is held all around the world at local CrossFit Boxes, with everyone completing the same workout
The workout has scaled divisions for beginners, and also has Master’s and Teenage categories
It is for EVERYONE
You get a World Ranking, it’s really cool, it’s heaps of fun

Friday Night Lights
CFB will run the Open on Friday night from 5pm. Commencing Feb 23rd for 5 weeks
Alternate times can be arranged every week! Just let Wendy know what you need.
Early or late heat times can be organised 
Monday at 7am, 8am and 7pm will be available as alternate times
You can also ask for other arrangements
There will be NO CLASSES running on Friday nights. If you want to train Friday afternoon you can! BUT you will be doing the Open workout and will be allocated to a heat. You will need to be on the heat list to get a start, regardless of whether you are registered or not. You can still request a specific heat time if you are not registered.
There will be a sign up sheet at Reception for any non-registered members to join in the fun on Friday nights. Registered athletes only need to notify Wendy if they are NOT competing on Friday night, and the alternate time will be booked in.

Class WARS of 2018 - May the fittest Class win!
This year we will have an Internal Comp between the classes at CFB. Do all your official sign up at https://games.crossfit.com/register/athlete ,then at the gym, declare the class you represent! The board near the reception desk will have the Class Team lists. Once the Open starts, you cannot change your team. If you train in different classes, declare for the class which reflects YOU the most.
Each week the ‘Class’ leaderboard will be updated. The scoring system will be similar to the system used for the Affiliate Teams. Loz is our Class Team head judge and she will keep you updated with all the scores and information. **Class names and uniforms are encouraged and remember… your classes reputation is on the line!

Hero Helpers! Please let Wendy know if you can volunteer:
Set Up Crew - Friday afternoon from 3pm
Layout equipment and set up the room
Judges 
Competent rep counter, and MUST have watched the workout standards video for that week
You do not need to have passed the Judges course THIS year. If you have judged in previous years you are good to go. 
If you would like to learn to judge, let us know. We will give you experience with someone helping you.

2017 Chris Twaddell Memorial Shield Club Championships Results

Congratulations to all the CFB and CFN members who contested the 2017 Club Championships yesterday. The full results summaries are posted here.

We presented Alana Biggam(CFB) and Asher Steele (CFN) as our 2017 winners of the Chris Twaddell Memorial Shield. Female runner's up were Adele Millar (CFN) and Michelle Verdec (CFB), and male runner's up were Adam Barbaro and Ben Greentree (both of CFB). It was very special to have Sarah Twaddell compete in the Open division and present the shield, and also to have Annette and Geoff attend the celebrations afterward.

Our Master's Champions are Marty Rogan and Fi McNeill. Special mention for John Horrocks who took out the 55+ division, but also would have come equal 3rd in the younger Master's division.

Our Teen Champions are Rafe Priestley and Jess Liddy, and our Novice Champions are Avi Kaye (CFB) and Tim Beard (CFN)

Huge thanks to Sue Shaw for providing a fantastic barbecue breakfast and lunch. Sue donates all her labour and a lot of the produce and works tirelessly all day. We had many people volunteer all day, special mention to Jade, Chris, Bianca and Nicole, who travelled all the way from Noosa to volunteer. Thanks to Tom and Sean for manning the run track (we only lost Mick - and he's a local!) Thanks to Shane and Mick for manning the barbecue. Thanks to Ingrid, G-rad and Ben for taking photo's. And finally thank-you to all who jumped in to judge and go and fetch coffee! The events were tough and the camaraderie was great. See you at the next one!!
