Recently, our Keep It Real CrossFit community suffered a tragic loss from suicide. Keep it Real created a memorial WOD in memory of Jager and we are honoring him today.

Keep it Real and Jager's parents have setup a scholarship fund for a Butte High School senior. If you're interested in supporting the fund please contact Coach Leslie.

Are you ready for another CrossFit Open Workout? Did you see Dave Castro's hint? Does it all make sense now? The Open is such a fun and exciting time to be a CrossFitter. You'll remember these workouts for a long time and we will revisit them in August because, hey! We're Open in August:-) The Open is a competition, which means we have a bit more adrenaline, cortisol and a few other hormones coursing through our bodies pre-, during, and post-workout. We find an intensity we didn't know we had and we push ourselves harder than ever. That's why recovery is so important. Meal prep is an important habit to develop to aid in recovery and fueling our workouts. The 5 weeks during the Open is an outstanding time to develop it. One of my favorite nutrition resources, Working Against Gravity, just released an excellent blog on how to develop a meal prep habit in 4 easy steps. If your meals don't look like the image below, it's time to put some effort into feeding yourself. Click on the image for the meal prep guide and a recipe. Enjoy and good luck with 20.2! We have so much fun while rowing! I absolutely believe that CrossFit makes us better. Not only does our physical health improve, our mental and emotional health also improves. I have been blogging about mental toughness every Thursday for several years now, and I'm so happy to discover that CrossFit has also published articles on mental toughness. I'm sharing this article by John Hermiz a Level 1 CrossFit trainer and a psychologist specializing in behavior change. The article is worth reading entirely, and here a few guidelines Hermiz found useful in helping athletes develop toughness and confidence. Start off at the right level. A beginner needs to experience success, not failure. Therefore, use proper scaling. Set up yourself and others for success. No one gets better by constantly failing. It won’t help to get injured either. Don’t try to run a marathon without proper preparations. It will be a horrible experience, and if you manage to push yourself through, there’s a real risk of injury. Remember to represent your favorite Super Hero or Super Heroine in class tomorrow! It's the CrossFit Open Workout 20.2. It will be released tonight at 6pm. What do you think it will be?
