CFE for Saturday 8/27

It's that time again...Mother F-er Miguel ( as sue calls it)

We will meet at the corner of Coastal Hills and Butterfly Court in the Bella Lago neighborhood of Chula Vista ( 91914) at 7am. This is an open event, as all our Mt. San Miguel Wods are.

Bring a bottle of water and a GU or something to eat or replenish you. Perhaps even some accelerade or some other type of sports drink. We've seen a lot of people need something at the top of the Mountain to feel better. This is a TOUGH, but short climb. Don't do this if you have bad knees. And you better make sure you eat something before you show up or you won't make it.

Bring a camera, views are amazing and dress for heat. You're gonna sweat half your body weight in under an hour.

cfe for wednesday 8-24

meet at 9am at cfcv we'll be running a TABATA in the park..barefoot. short workout. but one of the HARDEST wods I can throw at you

CFE WOD info for Saturday 8-20

Saturday CFE WOD. 7am at Mountain Hawk Park. We will stretch, Drill, and discuss some news, events and wod strategy.Time Trial will start at 730am.


Address for Mountain Hawk Park:
1475 Lake Crest Dr
(between Olympic Vista Rd & Rambling Vista Rd)
Chula Vista, CA 91915

The 10k TT will be mostly on surface streets although there is a soft path option if you'd like to take it easier on your legs and be safer with traffic. There are a few reasons why i pick trail runs. It is easier on your legs as it is a softer impact. Anytime a runner doesn't have to factor in cars who are not factoring in runners it's a good thing. And running some uneven ground strengthens your ankles, feet, etc which ultimately makes you a stronger runner.

TT stands for Time Trial. Which means " MAX EFFORT" so I suggest getting up early and having some breakfast. Really hydrate all day Friday and then be ready to go Saturday morning.

Please don't come with excuses as to why you can't run or why the run maybe a suckfest for you. Nobody "HAS" to run tomorrow. Being able to have the time, money and good health to be part of a running club is a blessing. Positive attitude is everything. I will taper the course to fit your fitness level if need be. I am concerned about your safety and longevity as a runner, so i will never ask you to do more than you can handle. That being said, if you have an injury or a concern please talk to me before the wod begins.

Those of you nursing injuries who miss the group ( Robin, Sheree, Allison, Amy T), please come around 7am if you'd like to see everyone off and cheer them back in. The Ultra Group, if you want to come out and use the time to stretch and get your head right for your training run on Sunday I welcome the company :)

See you all tomorrow morning.

A True Paleo Dining Experience

The physical and social benefits of CrossFit have been written about many times in this and other blogs, however one consistent drawback is the hassle we go through when eating out at a restaurant; seemingly every dining experience involves compromising our lifestyle by having a “cheat” meal or making substitutions to the consternation or downright ire of your server. That is all about to change; Alberto Mestre, the owner of Candelas Coronado, is partnering with Marc Homan of CrossFit Endurance to bring a host of Paleo friendly items to the menu, and I can tell you it is going to be great.

On Thursday I was treated to an entirely Paleo meal at Candelas Coronado (1201 First St, Coronado, CA 92118) – a beautiful location looking across the bay to San Diego. The chef, Eduardo Baeza, put together a series of dishes that were out of this world. The menu was:

A Salad of Hard Boiled Eggs, Asparagus, Artichoke Heart, Baby Tomatoes, Lettuce, Shredded Coconut and Raspberry with a Basil Vinaigrette Dressing

An Appetizer of Scallops, Smoked Salmon topped with Avocado marinated with Lime Juice, Onion, Jalapeño and Parsley.

Burritos filled with Chicken, Beef or Shrimp done with Peppers, Onion and Guacamole wrapped in thinly sliced Jicama served with either a spicy Habanera or a mild Chile Rojo Salsa

Chilled Soup made from Beef Stock, Avocado and a dash of Heavy Whipping Cream and topped with Green Beans and Almond Slices.

Crab Ceviche with Tomato, Onions, Cilantro & Jalapeño in Tomato & Lime Juice served in a half Avocado shell.

Duck Street Tacos done with Pineapple, Onion and Cilantro, with the traditional Corn Tortilla replaced with thinly sliced Jicama. This was complemented with a Nopales salad with Onion, Tomato in an Oil & Vinaigrette Basil dressing topped with bits of Charon (Fried Pork Rind).

Filet in Huajillo sauce with Bacon wrapped Baby Asparagus and Chayode topped with a Bacon, Asparagus, Cauliflower Mash.

Coconut Crème Brule made from Coconut Milk, Eggs, Shredded Coconut and a dash of Honey topped with fresh Raspberries and a spring of Mint. (No Picture)

Each and every item was exquisitely presented, tasted wonderful and Candelas is unbeatable for atmosphere. What does this mean for members of CrossFit Chula Vista Candelas’ has offered a 20% discount for gym members from now until September 18th, 2011. When you order let your server know you are from CrossFit Chula Vista then sit back and enjoy a wonderful dining experience without having to compromise your nutrition goals or fight with your server.

CFE for Wednesday 8-17

CFE wednesday. 1.5 mile time trial. Meet at 9am at CrossFit Chula Vista. Substantial warm-up and drills then time trial on the Eastlake Shores Loop.

We haven't done this since May. And since I am sensing a bit of slacking on the "Challenge" I would really love for all of you to retest this distance so you can compare it against your last effort. That way, if you hope to see more improvement, you still have a few weeks to work hard and get to where you want to be. Tuesday CFE-ers...you'll be retesting next week on the track.

For those of you who are new to the group. This is a really good "benchmark" time to have. Especially if you are associated with the military at all. The course is built for speed, and you'll be expected to run at an "ALL OUT" pace tomorrow. So make sure you come prepared to put up your best time!!

Make sure you bring water, and some money for coffee afterwards.
