June 2018
CrossFit Kids Summer Camps are happening again this summer! $60 per child (sibling discounts for attending the same session) for ages 5-9 (must have completed Kindergarten), July 17-19 OR July 31 – Aug 2 from 10:30 am – 12:30 pm. Ages 10-14, same dates from 2:00-4:00 pm. For our preschool group, ages 3-5, same dates from 8:00 – 9:00 am, is $40. All athletes will receive a water bottle on the first day of camp! Go to www.washougalrivercrossfit.com/summer-camps for updates. To register, click on our schedule, find the camp you’d like to register for, click on the orange tab. The system will walk you through registration. There are limited spots available for each session (20 for 5-14 and 15 for 3-5).
Since the Camas Pool will not be opening this summer, we are unfortunately unable to host the HydroMash for 2018. Our goal is to work over the next year to find a suitable location and host HydroMash in August 2019. We were looking forward to continuing this tradition and hope to begin again with more time to plan and find locations for such a unique event.
In case you haven’t already heard: Shirts (long [men’s and women’s] and short sleeve) and tank tops are in! Check with a coach to get yours! They are so comfortable and only $20 each. You can pay with cash, check, card, or account on file. Look for more WRCF options coming soon!
Our Mother’s Day WOD was SO much fun! We love seeing families staying fit and spending time together. Let’s do it again for Father’s Day! June 16 will be “Bring Your Dad to WOD Day!” Kids, bring your dad! Dad’s, bring your kids! No need to sign up, just show up. However, signing up for a free class on our web site will eliminate the need to sign the waiver at the box and speed things up a bit.
We saw A LOT of familiar faces at the STRIDE on May 19th! Thank you to everyone who ran/walked to support our amazing schools (and to celebrate Leslie turning 40!). There were several PR’s reported!
Michelle M, and Carol L beat their 2017 time by MINUTES! Jeanie M not only beat her time, but ran ANOTHER 5K on Sunday! Nice job, ladies! Keep pushing for PR’s! Better Every Day!
Murph was a beast, as always, but everyone pushed through and got the job done. Several athletes completed it for the first time with a vest this year. Others completed it for the first time EVER! Jim and Amanda shared the work with their kids, who rocked it! Thanks to everyone who brought a friend to join us. Nice job, everyone! Start strategizing for next year; we’ll be here! The potluck afterwards was yummy, as always! Thank you for sharing your food and hanging out with us, everyone. Stay tuned for the next party because we all love to eat!
Summer is quickly approaching (Yay!) and that means our bodies need more hydration! Be sure you are drinking plenty of water and bringing extra water when you work out. The water you drink today, hydrates you tomorrow. Our bodies work much more efficiently when they are hydrated and nourished. We put our muscles and joints through difficult tasks at the box, so treat them well outside the box. Try adding fresh sliced fruit (strawberries, lemon, lime, raspberries, etc) or cucumber to your water to add a bit of flavor without the processed sugar that the flavor packets typically have. Your body will thank you.
