The #800gChallenge® is a fun and inclusive twist on eating healthy. First, there are NO foods to eliminate. That’s right! All you have to do is eat 800 grams, by weight, of fruits and vegetables each day. Why? It’s a simplified way to get all those servings of fruits and vegetables that are associated with health.

You made it! Congratulations on reaching the end of the #800gChallenge! 🏆 At the very least, hopefully, you are including more nutrient-dense fruits and veggies in your daily diet even if you aren't hitting the 800g mark every day. Lots of diets CAN work; this is simply one way to measure quality in the diet without obsessing about every detail.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. ~ Theodore Roosevelt

BTC WOD 19.2.23
CrossFit Open Workout 19.1
Complete as many rounds as possible in
15 minutes of:
19 wall-ball shots
19-cal. row
Some notes about the Open:
Athletes can perform the Open Workout on Friday or Saturday. If you plan to do the workout Friday it would be great if you could give the coach a heads up. This allows the coach to try and gather additional judges if a large number of people plan to do the workout Friday.
For every week of the Open Friday’s WOD is the Open Workout. This allows members who are not registered for the Open to try the workout. This also gives athletes who want a chance to preform a “walk thru” to test the workout the opportunity to do so.
Saturday is our big competition day for the Open. Please plan to pay it forward and help judge if you feel comfortable doing so. We are looking forward to seeing all the team spirit on Saturdays and watching you all cheer each other on!
This year we are treating our Open like the Games or competition day. And just like the Games you only get one chance at the WOD. There are no, zip, zero, zilch redo’s at all.
The only person who can judge or allow a redo (on Saturday, Monday or any day) is Coach Cliff. No other redo scores will be validated. The redo must be judged by Coach Cliff. To contact Coach Cliff: cliff@bigthompsoncrossfit.com
If Monday is the only day you can perform and be judged for the Open workout (if you were out of town on Friday/Saturday or ill) this must be done at Open Gym. You will need to contact Coach Cliff to arrange time on Monday during Open Gym. To contact Coach Cliff: cliff@bigthompsoncrossfit.com
Good luck!

“Feeling better” (i.e., better recovery) is the second most common responses to the #800gChallenge. This has likely something to do with the anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatories naturally occuring in fruits and veggies. Yet, supplementation doesn’t seem to be as effective.

The Intramural Open teams are filling up! If you want to participate in the BTC Intramural Open you need to do 2 things: 1️⃣ Register for the Open at Games.CrossFit.com
2️⃣ Let Coach Cliff know if you have been recruited to a team. If you haven’t been recruited it’s no big deal, just let Coach Cliff know you have registered and he will place you on a team. Note: Team caps are in place to keep the teams even, so once a team hits 15 people the team will be capped until all teams have 15 people then the cap will be lifted.
Teams lock Thursday, get registered now! 👊
We are excited that you all are jumping on board the Intramural Open this year! Our hope is to remove the anxiety from participating in the Open and create a fun, & festive 5 weeks for you to push your limits and celebrate the CrossFit Games Open! 💪

No single day of the #800gChallenge is that difficult, but the challenge reveals itself in trying to be consistent with the metric across days and weeks. Hitting a high of 1,200g one day just to fall off the next is less ideal than consistency reaching a lower target. In the example shown, the roller coaster graph results in 1,000 fewer grams per week compared to the individual who "just" hits 800g/day. In a month, that is 50+(!) servings of fruits and vegetable missed and the potential effects on health and performance in the long-term become obvious. Even if the 800g target has been too much of a challenge for you, find a target where you can be consistent. It's the final week; let's finish strong!

We are back to a colored-theme. You can get the bonus point for week 4 if you eat at least 50 grams of something purple-colored. This new bonus point starts on Monday and runs through next Sunday. Don’t go by Google, just look at it. If it is purple - it counts! For example, Japanese yams, purple carrots, purple cauliflower, eggplant, black beans, red cabbage, red grapes, blackberries…. Names can be deceiving, just go based on what it looks like. Beets are red and blueberries are blue. Remember, you must hit 800g to be eligible for the bonus point.
