We’ve made it into Week 3 of the CrossFit Open at Roots and this week we’re celebrating, DUDES! That’s right, it’s Dude’s Week at the Friday Night Light Series this Friday evening so come by and throwdown on 17.3 and if you’re a dude, possibly win some sweet schwag from our sponsors.  See below for details!
Sponsors and Prizes
This week’s sponsor brings you clothing designed by active men for active men.  Rhone’s premium men’s activewear is sponsoring the night and they’ve brought together some sweet prize packages to be raffled off throughout the evening so make sure you get a raffle ticket at the door!

Warm-up Coach, Week 3 – Ryan Landis

Each week the warm-up area is stocked with a Roots coach who is affectionately called – The Warm-up Coach! As you all know we will be running WODs in heats through the night which means you’ll be responsible for warming yourself up but have no fear, a Warmup Coach will be near!

In addition to the coaches that are present and floating around to help you with the Open, each week there is a designated Warmup Coach (WC) in the warmup area.  The WC will change each week we’ll introduce them here, in the weekly guide. 

The WC is there to answer any questions you have regarding how to warmup (a specific warmup will be written on the whiteboard), discuss movement standards, chat about “to scale or not to scale”, how to approach the workout, give you a pep talk, and all that good stuff.  They will also gather you and the rest of your heat minutes before it is time for your heat.

Step by Step Guide
1. Watch the LIVE Announcement on Thursday night at 6pm to learn the workout. Go here to watch or come by the shop, we’ll have it on!
2. Sign-up on MBO for a heat time for Friday night. Heat times will be posted by 8pm in MBO on Thursday evenings. If you can’t make Friday night, be sure to sign-up for a regular group class.
3. Show up on Friday. We recommend arriving 30 minutes before your heat begins so you have plenty of time to change clothes, check-in with the WC, and get ready.
4. Do the workout!
5. Eat Yellowbelly, BYOB, smile, you did it!
