Competitor Public Service Announcement

Alden - KFP
Alden – KFP

This post is directed to the PM toasties and Open Gymers. Competitor classes are a privilege and competitors are given much more freedom than those taking general CrossFit classes.  We understand that there is a lot to get done in competitor classes but at the required level this should be a non-issue.  In taking competitor classes, you are expected to stay on task with the posted times on the site, hold yourself accountable (adhere to standards) in WODs, respect the general CrossFit class, and clean up after yourself post mobility, post WOD, post strength.

Unfortunately, lately most of our time as coaches has been devoted to cleaning up after competitors/open gymers and/or constantly reminding everyone to stay on task and adhere to standards.  As a coach, this is stressful and chaotic and we are so worried about controlling the chaos of the box, we are unable to spend as much time actually coaching and giving positive feedback.  If a coach is not around at the end of class to remind people to pick up after themselves, the box looks like a tornado hit.  Last week alone, I spent close to an hour, yes an hour, after a 6pm class picking up after everyone had just up and left with plates on plates on boxes on trash on mobility equipment around the competitor side of the gym.

Plates, bars, rollers, lacrosse balls, tape, rowers, water bottles, cups, clothing/shoes, pvc’s are constantly left out after strength, WOD’s and mobility.   We can’t have lax balls and foam rollers rolling across the floor during a WOD, it’s unsafe and someone is going to eventually catch a bad one.  After you are done with something please put it away, even if you may use it later or haven’t used it at all and you see it lying around, please contribute to keeping our space clean.  Also, please remember the box is not your personal locker room.  Keep your belongings in the cubbies, or in the front of the room with everyone else instead of out on the gym floor.  Lastly, chalk belongs in a bucket.  If it is out on the floor, it gets stepped on and creates a mess.  Keep the chalk in the bucket or soon you may find yourself without chalk at all.

Please act like competitors and you will be treated like competitors, act like children and you will be treated like children.  General CrossFit Southie classes are so clean, organized and well behaved there is no reason the competitor classes and open gym shouldn’t be.  If things don’t get better we are bringing Masley back to tighten things up.  Seriously though, we will have to cut back on the amount of work we try to get done in an hour to make sure we alot for time to clean up after ourselves.  Less work equals less fitness.  We will go back to more formal instruction, going over standards each day if we find competitors not upholding standards.  We don’t want to have to make these adjustments, we want to be able to allow you guys the freedoms you deserve and get in the work you need to get in to be a successful competitor.  We are just asking for more of an effort on your end to help us get you there.  I appreciate you taking the time to read this and looking forward to growing the CFS competitor community, remember it starts with all of you!

    Felt awful this morning. May be getting sick – need to rest up tonight.

    Warm-up: done
    Strength: 275 BS, 265 FS
    WOD 1: kind of all over the place – plan going in was to scale to 2 MU per round. Hit first round then died and did 2 attempts thereafter. Should have listened to Nick and done PUs/RDs, but was too lazy to set up rings mid-WOD. Also, thrusters were too easy at 135, so should have done 155. Ended up with 5 rds all said and done
    WOD 2: 10 rounds plus 200M row with DePriz

    Great Monday morning smoker. 275lbs on strength (should’ve gone for 285).

    7*+2 games (my brain was only half working as some of the rounds I did 3 thrusters instead of 5)

    #2 with KFP. I felt like I was going to lose it at the start of that second one.

    In other news, even more reasons to eat curry!
