Congratulations to Vic Meyers for competing in the 2010 CrossFit Qualifiers and placing 47th out of 109 competitors!.  Had  a great time this weekend at the CrossFit Running Cert with Tina. Learned a ton.  One of the best things the coach told us was something we already live by. You want to be a better runner? Lift weights, lift them heavy, and do that daily. You want a better 5k time? Do deadlifts, cleans, presses etc, and do them heavy as possible. The foundation to any running program is CrossFit, it is how we train!! The supplement is the running, not vice versa like we are all so often told. Its nice to hear a viable source, an elite ranked endurance competitor, tell us that he is elite because he trains the same way we do at Ignite. Constantly varied movements performed at high intensity, weather that be a warp speed met-con , or a 3rm deadlift day. It is always done at 120%.

    AWESOME job Vic. I know I don’t post often but I have to commend you for having the stones to go down there and compete, we all know there are some real animals involved in CrossFit.

    Saturday morning… chill in the air (dam right cold out!) I had ridden miles away from home and I took a drink of water. Tried pulling the pop-up nipple on the water bottle with my teeth and succeeded in pulling the entire top off and spilling the contents of the bottle down all over me! Water bottle failure!

    JohnO and I had a great run this Sunday through the Oradell Reservoir and surrounding areas of Haworth/New Milford. We went about 10 miles and worked in some intervals and hill work as we went. Good time.

    Hope to see more folks out for this weekend’s run. Because of the holiday, we’re moving the run to Saturday afternoon at 3pm…

    More details soon.

    BUSTED ^^^^^^^^

    Hey Tina: Weird stuff on our Mt.! I went for a run on the Mt. on Saturday afternoon and came upon the area of the fire. There was garbage all over the place up at the top; full garbage bags that were torn open (I am thinking bears) and then other stuff. Its the other stuff that is weird! There were 6 – 8 pairs of black sweat pants and black sweat shirts, as well as purple bandannas thrown around. Some t-shirts were burned in a firepit / campfire. Sorority initiation? Purple gang bangers? Nudists shedding their clothing that were scared away by bears looking for a quite place to eat the garbage?

    LOL Johnboy BUSTEDD!!

    lol that may have been one of the funiest posts ever..

  9. Tina on March 29th, 2010 5:15 pm

    Really Scot??!!! Weird! When Steve and I went up there….around the fire area there was a ton of garbage also but the usual bottles etc. Not clothes and bandannas! Def. probably some college thing I would assume or at least going to hope so!

    I am going to have to start night time hikes if sorority sisters are shedding their clothes.
