Performance Challenge Updates. . .

I have received several questions regarding this month's Performance Challenge so I'd like to clarify a few things before the competition begins to heat up...  
The Pre-Test includes a CrossFit Total and timed mile run which has to be completed and verified by a CrossFit trainer this week.  For the rest of the month, participants are required to record all of their workouts as well as any food they consume in a journal.  The journal can be our "wellness" journal that you must request via email, it can also be the back of the Big Mac wrapper you ate for lunch (But I hope it isn't!!)  You can be as specific or as general as you like, as long as you have your meals, snacks, drinks recorded. (There is no specific diet we are looking for, we just want you be more responsible for what you are eating.)   If you want to put ounces, liters, or calories, be my guest!  At the end of the month, May 31st, we will repeat the CF total and timed mile.  The participant with the greatest level of performance improvement will be our winner.  First prize is a 1 month membership at Columbia CrossFit, second prize is a container of Arbonne protein powder, and third prize may be one of my old, stinky, workout shirts... ( it may be worth millions some day!) 
There will be a small reception after the 5pm class on May 31st to congratulate all of our contest finishers and we will also have a "shoe" presentation sponsored by Footprints in Newington, CT.  The presentation will outline several minimalist style shoes that have become popular in the CrossFit community due to their high adaptability for the various workouts presented in CrossFit.  All participants at the talk will be able to purchase shoes that evening and receive a 10% discount as well!  If there is time, we will tally the performance scores and announce the winners at the end of the talk.  In order to win the challenge, you will have to also present a completed journal for the month of May.
I hope that this clarifies any questions regarding the Challenge.  If you have other questions regarding the challenge, you can ask me in class...  Stay Strong....           Stay Fit.....
