What is the weight and the distance for the Sandbag Sprint?

16 March 2010 / 10:49 a.m.

13. Russell wrote...

Far enough and heavy enough that you should be able to do it in under 15 minutes :)

16 March 2010 / 10:56 a.m.

14. Anthony Bainbridge wrote...

The sandbag sprint and distance will be announced Saturday morning. We have to keep something as a surprise. ;)

Just to clarify the schedule:
7:00 Registration
8:00 Opening Announcement / Movement Standards
8:15 Warm Up
8:30 Events Begin

If you have any other questions, post them here and I'll do my best to reply promptly.

What is the box jump height for the burpee box jumps in WOD 4?

16 March 2010 / 12:32 p.m.

16. Andrew Burns wrote...

Well done Canada East,
By far the best programming for a sectional I have seen yet. Not trying to kill anyone and a very fair test of GPP for ALL athletes.

16 March 2010 / 12:48 p.m.

17. Anthony Bainbridge wrote...

Chris, that will be announced on Sunday. It's not anything crazy - just enough to force an actual jump at the end of the burpee.

16 March 2010 / 1:05 p.m.

18. cheryl wrote...

what are the scale options and rep scheme for the muscle ups and the chest to ring pull ups?

16 March 2010 / 2:43 p.m.

19. Anthony Bainbridge wrote...

Cheryl, the sub for muscleups will be a jumping muscleups and ring chinups will be jumping ring chinups. All of the scaling options will be outlined on your competitor sheet when you arrive Saturday morning (and discussed before the events). Hope this helps!

Hi I was just wondering what happens if the women cant do the muscle ups? do they do pull ups push ups or dips
and will there be a chance to make up our points at the other events?

Thank you

16 March 2010 / 3:07 p.m.

23. Jesse wrote...

Are the women that can't do muscle ups DQ'd or can they still advance?

16 March 2010 / 3:12 p.m.

24. Anthony Bainbridge wrote...

Thanks Louise! We are looking forward to seeing you guys too! Wish you the best of luck in the competition ... I know you'll kick some ass!

16 March 2010 / 3:15 p.m.

25. tannaya Hantelman wrote...

If its scaled will there be a chance for the Competitors to make up our points at the other events?

Thank you

16 March 2010 / 3:30 p.m.

26. Gillian wrote...

hey for the max clean and jerk, can it be a split jerk?

thanks

16 March 2010 / 3:34 p.m.

27. Anthony Bainbridge wrote...

Tannaya, the sub for muscleups will be jumping muscleups.

Points will still be awarded for scaled workouts, but they will fall below prescribed workouts by default.

16 March 2010 / 3:41 p.m.

28. Anthony Bainbridge wrote...

Jesse, they will still earn points towards qualifying.

16 March 2010 / 3:43 p.m.

29. Anthony Bainbridge wrote...

Gillian, yes, split jerk is 100% encouraged. :)

16 March 2010 / 3:44 p.m.

30. Patrick A wrote...

Will competitors be allowed to set the height of rings?

16 March 2010 / 4:19 p.m.

31. Anthony Bainbridge wrote...

Patrick, yes the rings are adjustable.

16 March 2010 / 4:40 p.m.

32. Sarah C. wrote...

Is it power clean or squat clean?

Great work, guys. Looking forward to seeing you on the weekend. Thanks!

16 March 2010 / 5:06 p.m.

33. Anthony Bainbridge wrote...

Sarah, whatever you choose as long as it's done in two distinct movements: ground to shoulder, shoulder to overhead.

16 March 2010 / 5:10 p.m.

34. Matt MacD wrote...

Anthony,
Am I correct to assume that all events are indoors?

16 March 2010 / 5:15 p.m.

35. Anthony Bainbridge wrote...

Matt, yes, everything is being held within the UNB South Gym.

Looks like you're all in for some fun- good luck to all competitors; I wanted to know will the results be updated as the events take place at the end of the day or the end of the week end?

Good luck to everyone, go hard, have fun and enjoy the experience!

OPT rote something great on is website few days ago : ''Stay humble through your win and proud of your efforts through defeat.'' With this mentality you'll always remain a champion whatever your position.

The Crossfit community is there to bring the best to everyone of us. Whoever you are don't make it a bad experience for yourself or the others!!!

Anthony Jody lots of energy out this year again, everybody appreciate, that's great, won't be there for sectionals, need to open the gym but looking forward to hang out at regional or before for some intensive training ;).

19 March 2010 / 2:43 a.m.

50. Anthony Bainbridge wrote...

Brett, we are going to do our best to update as we go, but the internet connection in the gym is pretty sketchy. Worst case we'll update at the end of each day.

Evan, registration is Saturday at 7am only. I tried replying to this last night, but the spam filter was catching it for some reason. Sorry for the delay!

19 March 2010 / 3:36 a.m.

51. Tracy wrote...

Thanks for reminding us to make this a positive experience, Roch! It's already obvious from all the posts that we have a great group of people getting together to do their thing.

19 March 2010 / 5:24 a.m.

52. Anthony Bainbridge wrote...

Roch!! Sorry to hear you cannot make it - we were looking forward to hanging out. :(

Keep training hard - we hope to see you and Louise at Regionals!
