Greetings Eastside Elite,
It was another great week here at the gym as we head into summer. The weather is getting warmer but it doesn’t seem to be slowing you guys down. For those that missed it, we have announced a t-shirt design contest running until the beginning of next week. Designs can be specific to your discipline or general. Make sure there is space for our logo if it is not incorporated into the design. Submissions can be brought in to the gym or can be e-mailed to [email protected]. All submissions will be put up to vote and we will pick the best one(s) for print. If we pick your design you will receive a prize!
The Reebok CrossFit regionals competitions began this weekend. This is the last step leading up to the CrossFit Games. If you have never seen what the best in the sport can do, I strongly recommend you check it out. You can watch all past videos and stream live video from www.games.crossfit.com. If you would like to see them in person, the South Central regional competition will be this month, the 23rd though the 25th in San Antonio. Tickets can be purchase at the games webpage.
All athletes please remember, as the days get hotter and more humid, hydration plays a very important role in not only your performance, but your overall health as well. The hour before training shouldn’t be the only time you worry about drinking water. Consume water throughout the day in regular intervals. Carry a water bottle with you to the gym and work. If you feel thirsty, you are already dehydrated so stay proactive.
That’s all for now guys. Stay safe and train hard,
Neal Cantin
