Second Lt. Emily Jazmin Tatum Perez, 23, was killed Sept. 12, 2006, when her Humvee was struck by an improvised explosive device as she was leading a convoy through Al Kifl, Iraq. She served in the 204th Support Battalion, 2nd Brigade, 4th Infantry Division of the U.S. Army.
Perez graduated from the U.S. Military Academy in 2005. She was an exemplary student and became the highest-ranking African-American female cadet in the history of West Point. An exceptional athlete, Perez was a sprinter on the track team (200 m) and competed in the triple jump. She also excelled at gymnastics and squats. Her favorite movements included sprinting, double-unders, pull-ups, squats and power cleans.
Perez earned numerous awards for her military service, including the Bronze Star, Purple Heart, Army Commendation Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Iraq Campaign Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, Army Service Ribbon, Overseas Service Ribbon, and the Combat Action Badge. She was also posthumously awarded the NCAA Award of Valor in 2008.
Perez was the first female African-American officer in U.S. military history to die in combat and the first female West Point graduate to die in the Iraq War. She is survived by her parents, Daniel and Vicki; brother, Kevyn; and many classmates and friends.

This Week’s WODs

*Cycle T/Week 6 of 12* 

Short Interval (Mon 5:30pm):  “Kiss and Tell”

5 Rounds:

3 Deadlift 225/185

6 Box Jumps 30/24 with step down

12 Jumping Feet Tuck (heels hit your backside) with a 3/4 squat for explosive/ballistic effect

200m MAX EFFORT SPRINT

24 easy recovery air squats

Rest 4:00 between rounds

WOD Notes:    This WOD is meant to be EXPLOSIVE and FAST. It incorporates ballistic and plyometric movements coupled with aggressive sprinting, to recruit fast twitch muscle fibers. Immediately after you’ve completed the 200m sprint, begin the easy recovery squats. Pick a steady, easy recovery pace and use the squats to work out the lactic acid that’s built up in your legs from the ballistics and sprinting. Then, focus on FULL recovery during those 4 minutes of rest, so you can be ready to tackle that next round at 100%!

Methodology:    Speed/Strength Endurance      Total Distance:      1000m        Scoring:     Score each of five rounds separately (for time)

Long Interval (Thurs 5:30pm):   “Inaugural” (WOD Credit:  Elizabeth Koch)

5 x 500m run, 100m walk

Rest 90 seconds

4 x 400m run, 100m walk

Rest 90 seconds

3 x 300m run, 100m walk

WOD Notes:    Perform each interval set with just 100m walk in between reps. Rest 90 seconds between sets. During the 100m walk, focus on bringing your breathing under control, clearing the fatigue from your legs, and being ready to accelerate right into the next interval once you cross the 100m return mark.

WOD Pacing:  Intervals will be paced off your 1-mile PR time. As the volume builds during this workout and the fatigue begins to set in–work to hold your paces.

Methodology:    Aerobic Threshold      Total Distance:      5000m        Scoring:     WOD is for total time

ANNOUNCING…CrossFit Springfield’s CFE Summer Workshop!

Sunday, August 6th 

12pm-4pm

CFS Back Lot

We are SO excited to spend the afternoon with you! Join CFE Coaches Jen C, BRice, and Allison for a super-fun and informative half-day…full of all sorts of drills, science, and training strategy to take your endurance game to the next level! 

Come READY to work out (more than once), and leave here prepared to tackle your next big goal–whether it be HOA, Dogwood Canyon, or that elusive ‘RX’ you’ve been chasing–with a bigger, stronger engine!

Sample Topics

• Running mechanics and efficiency/POSE method/cadence and pacing–check yo’self, ‘fore you wreck yo’self! 
• BRice’s saucy **NEW** Benchmark Endurance WOD–“Tres, Dos, Uno!”
• Aerobic Capacity and determining your Fatigue Factor–why does your engine fail you?
• Test a WOD tailored specifically for your weaknesses–let’s FIX you!
• Baseline training and competitive edge–dialing in for the very best from each athlete!
• Time Trial Testing–you didn’t think we’d let you escape without it, did you???

We’re excited to show you what the Back Lot’s all about (spoiler–it’s not just running)! 😉

This Week’s WODs

*Cycle T/Week 5 of 12* 

Short Interval (Mon 5:30pm):  “Special Sauce”

5 SETS:

300m at FAST pace

100m at easy recovery pace

100m at MAX SPRINT effort pace

100m at easy recovery pace

No rest between reps, 4:00 rest between rounds

WOD Notes:    FAST pace means “very fast” and should be 1-2 sec/100m faster than your 1-mile PR for the 300m distance. The “max sprint” effort should be…you guessed it…at max effort. 🙂

Methodology:     VO2 Max      Total Distance:      3000m        Scoring:     Score each of the 5 MAX EFFORT 100m sprints separately. Use your watches to time your 300m distance (for gaging purposes), then reset them during your first recovery run, so they’re all set to time your sprints!

Long Interval (Thurs 5:30pm):   “Jet Setting”

Part ONE

3 x 1 mile at moderate pace with 1:00 rest between reps

Rest 5:00, then…

Part TWO

5 x 60m sprints w/ 240m slow recovery jog between reps, plus an additional 30 seconds of rest between reps

Workout Details:  For Part ONE, the goal is to run by feel, and only look at your watch after you finish each 1 mile interval. Your finishing times for all three intervals should be within 15 seconds of one another! For Part TWO, sprint 60m out from the start line, then jog the rest of the way (240m) to the end of the parking lot (the old 300m turnaround). Rest there another 30 seconds, then sprint back the other direction for the next rep.

Methodology:     Lactate Threshold      Total Distance:       6300m       Scoring:     Part ONE–score each of your 1 mile intervals separately. Part TWO–don’t score. Just go fast, then go slow, rest 60 seconds, then go again.
