Trivia Night is Coming: Are you smarter than Rich Froning?
Ok, truth is we have no idea how smart Rich Froning is, but it’s safe to assume than you’re more likely to beat him at trivia than in a workout.
We’ve been talking having a Trivia Night for a while, and what better time than RIGHT after the Open competition ends? You’ll have just been humbled for five weeks during workouts; now it’s time to be humbled when you can’t remember the details of The Treaty of Versailles and you have no idea who won the World Series in 1998.
Thinking Hard
The Date: Saturday, March 29th
Time: Doors Open at 7 pm. Trivia starts at 8:30 pm
Sign-up: Old School sign-up at the gym starting Wednesday, March 19th
Structure: Teams of 3. Choose your teams wisely. More details about the structure of the event and categories coming next week!
Cost: $60 per team of 3. Entry fees will go toward prize money for the winners!
The event will be limited to 25 teams. First come first serve on the sign-up.
As per usual, we’re turning this into a wine and cheese event. We’ll provide plenty of cheese, but this is an Old School CF Van event, so bring your own bottle of wine, or two or three – depending on your drinking habits – for the wine table.
Get your teams together, start studying your geography and history, as well as your CrossFit trivia, and get to know your coaches – there may be a category called “How Well Do You Know Your Coaches?”

Do yourselves a favour and rest up if you were here yesterday. The heavy dead lifting from yesterday either lit up your erector spinae, or for you neglectful ones, your back. Do not substitute something heavy that will load your spine; nor do you want to get wild and explosive with box jumps. Think of some light gymnastic substitute for the deadlifts, maybe even some aerobic work; and instead of jumping, work in some body weight step ups. Regenerate, don’t aggravate.
