Well folks, AuVest 2009 is over.  I want to thank everyone who did some or all of the workouts for participating.  It's been fun.  I guess there's nothing left to say except...

AuVest WOD 8/5/2009

Alex looking fresh while taking a relaxing break between rounds during "Imminent Death."

ANNOUNCEMENT:  This Saturday (8/8) the WOD will be a 5k run.  I'm posting this now because I want you to have time to find the hottest, steepest, ugliest 5k you can.  Ideally it should be steep enough to induce mild vertigo, and you should have to fight off a minimum of one wild, predatory animal per kilometer.

Pullups

Box Jumps, 24"

Post time to comments.

Rest as needed between rounds.

Divide pounds by time in seconds for each round and post individual rounds and total score to comments.

AuVest WOD 8/3/2009

This has nothing to do with CrossFit, or AuVest.  I posted it because NO ONE IS SENDING ME THEIR AUVEST PICTURES (except TexasPatrick, of course.)  Also because, you know...Chuck Norris.

Rest Day

What are your thoughts on AuVest so far?  For those of you who'd never used the vest before, what's the difference?  For those who have, what's it like having people to compete against, and knowing that for this month you HAVE to do the WODs vested, rather than by your own perverse choice?

Post thoughts to comments.

AuVest WOD 8/2/2009

TexasPatrick's vest looking every bit as harmless as it's not.

Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes:

10 push press, 115#/75#

10 knees-to-elbows

40 double unders

Post number of rounds completed to comments.

AuVest WOD 8/1/2009

Day 1 of AuVest at CrossFit Monterey.

Pictures:  I need them!  Send me pictures of you and/or your vest...pre WOD, mid WOD, post WOD, chillin' on the beach, snuggling on the couch, whatever!  Tsypkin@gmail.com

Pre or Post WOD, your choice:  Practice front and back levers, planches, and muscle-ups.  You don't have to wear the vest for this, but you can if you so desire.  Vested muscle-ups are fun, fun, fun.

Deadlift 3-2-1-1-1 reps

This may be obvious, but no, don't wear the vest for the deadlifts.

Post loads used to comments.

AuVest WOD 7/31/2009

Alex demonstrating what we're all going to look like for the next month.

3 rounds:

400m sprint

Max ring dips

Max pullups

Time only the 400m, but do not take any rest between the run and the ring dips, or the ring dips and the pullups.  Rest as needed between rounds.

Post time for each 400m and numbers for each set of ring dips and each set of pullups to comments.

T-Shirts!

All,

I've just started working with my screenprinter on the design for the AuVest 2009 t-shirts.  They're going to be pretty cool!  The shirts will cost $11 to make, plus $5 for shipping ($10 for you international folks.)  Please send me an e-mail at Tsypkin@gmail.com with the subject line "AuVest T-Shirts" telling me you are interested!  This is an important step, so PLEASE reply quickly!  We're going to make a mockup, which I will post here, so you can decide if you want one before ordering.  However, I need to know how many we're making beforehand.

Thanks!

AuVest is coming!

The time is nearly here!  The first AuVest WOD will actually be on July 31st, so that we can stick to the 3 on/1 off schedule with the main site.  Watch this space for more information in the next few days!
