2011 Reebok CrossFit Games!

So most of you already know due to my endless talk of this event but the 2011 CF Games are coming up in July. The Games will be held in Carson, CA (Los Angeles) at the Home Depot Center from July 29th-31st. Tickets are on sale on ticketmaster.com, for a limited time the tickets are $40 a piece for the WHOLE WEEKEND! I've already purchased mine and Holly's but if any of you want to go, you'd be more than welcome to carpool with us! We'll be leaving the 28th and coming back on the 1st of August.

Lactate Threshold

If anyone is wondering what the "Lactate Threshold" REALLY is in relation to maximal exercise, this article has some good information. I hear a lot of misinformed or partially misinformed crossfitters talking about this and it's kind of irritating to hear bad info getting passed around. My former Exercise Physiology professor at Nevada would laugh his ass off if he heard what some of these lemmings were saying abot LA Threshold!

a quote from the 2009 CrossFit Games winner Mikko Salo

"I have this thing about never going to lay on the floor after a WOD. And I think in the shirt it can be said somehow like: When animals surrender, they go laying on their back on the floor. Mikko never lays on his back on the floor."
