The scores are in!  CONGRATS to everyone who participated in the January 2013 30-Day Paleo Challenge.  This was our second 30 day challenge since we opened our doors.  Some of you did the first challenge and noticed how much easier it was the second time around.  If you struggled with this first 30 days we highly recommend you do another 30 days to really get things figured out and have fun with it. Remember everyone that the whole point of the Paleo Challenge is to see how much food affects you – your energy level, mood, performance, etc. It’s the most powerful drug in the world.  And if you put the right food in your body you will operate and feel your best.  If you don’t, you won’t.  The key is knowing what the “right” food is.  You now have the toolkit.  The question is whether or not you will use it…

Overall numbers:
Total Pounds lost: 113
Total Inches lost:  38
Total PR’s:  32

Whereas last time we had various categories for things like “Biggest Loser”, the individual numbers shook out a little differently this time around. And figuring out the winners is not an exact science so we went with a slightly different result based on the way athletes stacked up.  Overall 2 people really rose to the top.  Out of 4 Categories: Points, Number of PR’s, lbs lost, and Inches lost, these two athletes were in the top 3 of ALL FOUR categories and also kept extremely accurate and detailed food logs.

Debbie Noonan-White – 197 points, lost 10 lbs and 5 inches, and PR’d 3 WOD’s
Kristen Churchill  - 182 points, lost 14 lbs and 6.3 inches, PR’d 4 WOD’s

They each win a pair of Reebok Custom Nano’s AND a $100 Gift Cert to Esthetica Day Spa

Trying to figure out ranking beyond this was almost impossible.  So we drew a line in the sand for anyone who scored over 165 points and/or lost over 8 lbs and the following athletes get an Honorable Mention of a RCFSTT tank or tee plus $15 worth of Steve’s Paleo Kit goodies (brand new in the box!)

During last year’s Open Lynnsy did her first snatch ever at 75#… Can’t wait to see what she can do this year!!

The first WOD of the CrossFit Open will be announced on Wednesday 3/6 at 8pm EST.

We will have judges available for all competitors to complete the WOD on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.  If you are a visitor please send us a note through the website to let us know which day and time you will join us and we will be happy to score and validate your WOD.

Competitors are required to review the rules and guidelines of each WOD from the CrossFit Games site prior to arriving at the box, choose a time during any of the scheduled Open WODs and properly prepare and warm up on your own.  There will be one judge assigned to one competitor so be patient as we cycle through all the athletes and feel free to cheer on and motivate your fellow competitors.
