Ladies and Gents

On Friday, February 3rd we’re going to have a get together at Nag’s Head Pub. It’s a nice, intimate place so we won’t have to shout over the rest of the million people in the bar to have a conversation(or tearing the place apart). The bar is located on First street between Grand and Clinton.

Let’s go hard.

Partying commences at 8:30pm.

“Oh the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we’ve no place to go…
Head over to Crossfit Long Island City for the 2nd annual Frostbite competition!”

We invite Crossfitters of all skill levels and abilities to come to a throw-down in
Long Island City, NY on Saturday, February 11th, 2012. Throughout the course
of the day, competitors will be subjected to a series of challenging events, frigid
temperatures and other unknown weather conditions. The events, while staying
true to the Crossfit methodology, will offer a unique approach to physical activity
and cold weather. It will be a true testament of fitness and mental willpower.
Afterwards, we will defrost at the box during the awards presentation and the after
party.

Please help us make Frostbite 2012 even more successful than the last year’s event!

There will be men and women, Rx & Scaled divisions so please encourage everyone
to sign up! We will have prizes provided by our sponsors for the top three men and
women in both Rx & Scaled divisions.

Thanks for your support, and hope to see you at the Frostbite!

Do you want to improve your 5k, 1 mile, or 400m times? Or your marathon or triathlon? Do you hurt when you run? Do you suffer from shin splints, knee or hip pain? Brian Harkins, owner of NYC Endurance, is here to help.

Improving your running efficiency may be the key to running both faster, and pain free.

This seminar will teach you the fundamentals of good running technique. You will learn how to utilize functional strength training and how to minimize oxidative overload to improve your performances in both short and long distance running.

You will run less than 2.5 total miles during this seminar, but will walk away with the tools to improve your running and optimize your race performance.

During the seminar,we will evaluate your current running technique on:

• Overall Posture
• Head, Eyes & Shoulder Position
• Arm Swing
• Hand Position
• Stride Length
• Stride Frequency
• Gait
• Pronation
• Foot Position
• Foot Angle

And then teach you how to improve it by:

• Discussing proper technique
• Reviewing and executing running drills
• Conducting video analysis
• Discussing how to properly strength using New York City Endurance”

At the end of the seminar you will truly understand how to, “Train Less, Go Faster!!!
The seminar begins at 12 noon and is estimated to go on until 5 or 6pm.

Scores were calculated based on an athlete’s finishing place in each event. (Ie. If you finished first, you would receive 1 point). The points received throughout the day were then totaled. The winners were those with the fewest points throughout the day.
