CrossFit Ryan and Growth of XFAN

Heidi to Dave -- what were you doing Mister?!

It’s been a good, killer week so far for both CrossFit Workouts Of the Day (WODs) and the new eXtreme Fitness Around Nebraska. The picture is a trophy from the CrossFit Ryan workout.  My constant running and occasional swim/bike companion Heidi has the “gee, are you sure you know what you’re doing?” look on her face!

Since early March I’ve adopted a motif of CrossFit WOD’s 1st, triathlon/marathon preparation 2nd (thanks Jeremy and Katie).  Over the last year I’ve mixed in the WODs to supplement the triathlon training.  Now it’s 3-4 WOD’s with the CrossFit Endurance workouts and similar workouts wrapped around it.  I saw some good results at the State Farm 10 mile race last Saturday (March 28th), setting a course personal record of 1 hour, 17 minutes, 10 seconds – 7:43 per mile pace.  There’s just one 10 miler out there from 1998 that was faster.  This one topped 9 other State Farm events from 1999 to 2009.  More validation or repudiation to come!

The Facebook page is growing and we’re on the second challenge – 1 minute time trials for push ups, situps, pull ups and air squats.  There’s still time to join in – we’ll begin 750 walking lunges on Monday.  Also wanted to share there’s a dedicated website for XFAN – just go to www.xfanebraska.org.
