Mt Sanitas Challenge
Saturday June 20th at 8:00am
Mt Sanitas is a nasty hill in Boulder. It is a 3.2 mile loop with 1300 ft of vertical. People have been running it as a workout for years. It’s not a bad workout but we thought it would be fun to “spice” it up a bit. We are going to add in a few elements to make it a little bit more of a challenge. The challenge will consist of 3 parts: a bike ride, a run, and a CrossFit workout.
Part one:
You leave in pairs by bike from Flatirons CrossFit to Mt Sanitas. We will send a pair of riders every two minutes. The ride to Sanitas is approximately 5 miles.
Part two:
Once at the Mt Sanitas trailhead leave your bike and run the loop. We will have people to watch the bikes and time your run. The loop starts going up the steep side. Complete the loop and return by bike to FCF. The loop is 3.2 miles long with 1300 feet of vertical.
Part three:
Once back at FCF you will complete a workout to stop time. The workout will be unveiled prior to the start.
This race is open to everyone. Just be at Flatirons CrossFit at 8am with a bike and a helmet. (You must have a helmet to participate). Check in is at 8am. We will go over rules, directions to Mt Sanitas, and unveil the workout and allow time to strategize. If you are riding with clip ins we will have your running shoes brought to the start of the run.

INTRO TO OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING CLINIC
Intro to Olympic Weightlifting Clinic.
Olympic weightlifting is the sport of weightlifting. It encompasses two lifts: the snatch and the clean and jerk. The sport is nearly dead in the United States but is very popular in the eastern countries and China. Top level strength and conditioning coaches have discovered its benefits and are increasingly using the Olympic lifts in their training program to increase athletic ability.
Olympic weightlifters have the vertical leap of NBA players the speed of top level sprinters and the flexibility of gymnasts, not to mention they are the strongest people on the planet. The benefits of training these movements are: increased speed and explosive power which is crucial to just about any sport. Olympic weightlifting strengthens joints as they are worked thru a full range of motion during training and lifting. Our joints like full range of motion. Flexibility is increased as lifters move their body into positions to complete the lift. Flexibility and strength work hand in hand to help to prevent injuries.
Everyone can benefit from learning these lifts and this clinic will lay the foundation for correctly performing these movements. If you are an athlete and serious about your sport, Olympic weightlifting will greatly improve your performance. Our coaches have over 20 years of experience and have trained with Olympic athletes and the best coaches in the sport of Olympic weightlifting. Olympic weightlifting is safe and beneficial for people of all ages. At Flatirons CrossFit we train these lifts with people from ages 9 to people in their late fifties.
This clinic will run from 9am to 4pm. We will cover the snatch in the morning, break for lunch and then cover the clean and jerk in the afternoon.

Check in at 9:30
The snatch and the clean and jerk are the backbone of kettlebell training. Holding kettlebells bells in exaggerated positions has its place in kettlebell training but it doesn’t really work well in competition. We will be testing our skill with the kettlebell snatch and clean and jerk. This event is designed and open to kettlebell enthusiasts of all levels. If you can clean, jerk, and snatch a kettlebell then come out and compete. Competition is a great way to take your skill to the next level and really push yourself.

The snatch test will be as many reps in 10 minutes as possible. The bell may be set down at any time and the athlete may switch hands as often as they like. The bell must be swung from between the legs to full lock out overhead for the rep to count. The bell must not be pressed into position. Score is total reps in 10 minutes
The clean and jerk is as many reps as possible in 10 minutes using one bell. It will be performed long cycle. The long cycle clean and jerk is a clean and a jerk for each rep. Rep starts from the hang and is cleaned to the rack with the arm holding the bell tight to the chest. The bell is then jerked overhead. The rep is complete when the bell is fixed overhead arm body and torso are straight. You may switch hands as often as you like and the bell may be set down. Score is total reps in 10 minutes.
Winners will be determined on the combined scores for both tests.
