Break in the Box – Event Details

Next Saturday, January 14, help us break in ICA’s new home with an epic event — 12 hours of benchmark WODs!! We’ll run a WOD an hour starting at 8:00am. Join us for one, two or all twelve workouts! The full event details are below.

Parking

Our primary lot will fill up early. Overflow parking is available along Jefferson Street, in the lot on the opposite side of our building (near Sharp Clinical Services), or at the apartment complex across Bridge St.

Schedule

Doors open at 7:00am and the first WOD kicks off at 8:00am. We will run a WOD at the top of each hour, with the last one starting at 7:00pm. Athletes are responsible for getting themselves warmed up and set up with any necessary equipment before each WOD.

We expect the morning sessions to be packed, and we’ll run several heats. (We may have to share some equipment too.) In addition to food and beverages, please bring your patience 🙂

Registration

ICA members – Please sign up for the 8, 9, and 10 o’clock WODs individually. The remainder of the day is divided into two sessions and you can add your name to the session if you plan to do a workout (or workouts) anytime during that time slot.

Guests/Visitors

CrossFit athletes visiting from other boxes are welcome to join us! Please email Nikki at ironcrossathletics@gmail.com to register.

*** For Athletes New to CrossFit*** Please note this event is best suited for athletes with previous CrossFit experience. If you are a guest with limited or no CrossFit experience,  please attend one of the workouts marked with an asterisk below. These are beginner friendly or can be easily modified for beginners. Your “host” ICA member  should help you warm up, explain the workout, and introduce you to an ICA coach before the workout begins to go over any modifications.

WODs

Before I get to the good stuff (i.e. the WOD list) here is a little disclaimer: This day was not designed for athletes to complete all 12 workouts! We expect that to be extremely rare! Consider teaming up with some friends to share the workload, or pick a handful of your favorite workouts to complete. Some of the benchmark WODs have been modified to fit a shorter time domain and prevent overuse injuries. If you are only completing one workout, and we modified it, feel free to do the original version.

Food/Beverage

We’ll have some food delivered around lunchtime, but we encourage you to bring your own food and beverages as well. This is a great chance to try our new Kettlebell Kitchen service — place an order by Saturday January 7 for your meals to be available at the event (delivery on Thurs January 12).

Adult beverages are allowed, but we encourage athletes to save the drinks for after you are done working out. We care greatly about athlete and community safety and will not let anyone obviously intoxicated work out.

Entertainment/Comfort

There will be lots of down time between WODs, especially in the afternoon. Bring plenty of layers to stay warm, and bring a folding chair! We hope to show some CrossFit related movies such as Stoneland and/or Froning.  Let us know if you have a TV or projector you want to lend to the cause.

Here we go ICA! Let’s #getjackedup for 12 hours of fun and fitness!
