House Cup 16.2 Standings

March 09, 2016/ Jenny Werba

Another fantastic week of CrossFit Open and UB's House Cup is in the books!  Great work to all who participated.

This week we had quite a few scoring snafus, so please be clear on what information you need to be recording as a judge, and ask me if you have any questions regarding scoring including incomplete scores.

Introducing the UB athlete spotlight! This month we would like you to meet Jan Zenkner. 1.How did you get started with Crossfit? I was planning to start at a gym as a new years resolution and then a friend of mine!recommended CrossFit to me. So I booked the next try out session in the nearest Box. I did the workout super scaled and still was sore for days, but somehow I got hooked to it and I booked a membership a few days later. 2.How has Crossfit changed your life? The short answer would be: a lot. Before I started, I had severe headaches almost every other day, I had back pain, was obese (lost ~40 pounds) and getting groceries into my 5th floor apartment left me catching my breath All of those things are gone or got a lot better since I do CrossFit. It is not only that your body gets fitter, the community around it helped me to grow as a person. 3. What's your favorite part about United Barbell? The vibe. That magical mix of overall positive energy, welcoming members, amazing coaches, music and a good workout. 4.What's your favorite WOD? I can't name a single one but I would say something with rowing and deadlifts. 5. Least favorite WOD? Anything with running more than 200m and/or thrusters 6.Favorite workout music: I can workout to almost any music as long as it has enough energy to push me through the workout. And yes, that includes the country music. (But not german country music) 7. Best advice for someone starting off in Crossfit: As someone with no prior history in anything fitness, I can only stress that you should not compare yourself with others in the gym. Just compare yourself to yourself week by week, month by month.Then you are not beating yourself up for not being able to do an RX movement like the rest of the class, but you are baffled how managed to get a way more advanced scale of it in just a few weeks time.
Crowded was an understatement for our old space at 300 Brannan. We packed 20 athletes per class into ~2000 sqft. It forged amazing athletes and great friendships. #bornonbrannan
