Good luck to Jess F, Meghan R and Jenn M on the NYC Marathon today!  These ladies have been training hard for the past few months in preparation for today's 26.2 miles of running.  The marathon is a true test of endurance capacity and mental fortitude, we wish them a great race today.
If you'd like to view today's race, lululemon athletica Brooklyn, The Brooklyn Tri Club and CFSBK will be cheering and spectating on Degraw and 4th from 9:30am-12pm today. 
Athletes attending class today might have to take an alternate route if they can't cross 4th avenue.

30 Snatches for time

The competiton loads for "Isabel" are 135lbs for men and 95lbs for women. Attempt find the most weight you can Snatch for 30 reps in under 6 minutes. The goal is to scale this workout so that you can achieve the metabolic stimulus of a short, intense workout.  Your scale will depend on how much you can lift and how techincallly sound your Snatch is. There is a hard cut off at the 6 minute mark.

Curried Collard Greens
By Christian Fox
 
You’ll need:
 
1 Bunch Collards (or other hearty greens), chopped or medium julienne
1 medium Onion, sliced thin
2 cloves Garlic (or more to taste), finely chopped
1 Tbsp Ginger, minced
1-2 Tbsp good Curry powder or paste (I like one with some HEAT!)
½ can Coconut Milk
½ – 1 cup Chicken Stock (salted water will do as well)
1 Tbsp Coconut Oil
Salt to taste
Juice from ½ Lime
Honey (optional)
Cilantro, chopped
Red Peppers, chopped
 
-        Sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger in oil over medium heat in a medium saucepot till onion is slightly caramelized
-        Add the curry powder and sauté a few seconds before adding the greens (if using paste stir it in 1-2 Tbsp water or stock first so it incorporates better)
-        Add ½ cup stock or water and salt to taste and cook covered till greens are al dente, adding more liquid as needed. You don’t want more than 1-2 Tbsp of liquid left when greens are done
-        Add the coconut milk and simmer uncovered for a few minutes until the greens are cooked through and the whole thing thickens up a bit
-        Remove from heat amd add lime juice and a small amount of honey if using
-        Garnish with cilantro and red pepper
 
The dish packs a healthy dose of good fats from the coconut milk including lauric acid, along with a good dose of calcium from both the greens and the coconut milk. Curry powders contain numerous anti-inflammatory agents as well.  It keeps well so 2x or 3x it for leftovers. Pair it with some roast pork tenderloin (or any piece of meat) to make a meal, and add a starchy veg to make that meal superb post-WOD. To make it more calorically dense use a whole can of coconut milk.
 
Enjoy!

Katie's weighted overhead walk

So ends another strength cycle at CFSBK.  Our movement pool for the last month was comprised of Hang Snatches, Front Squats and Handstand Push-ups.  Did you improve your capacity in these movements?  How many exposures of each exercise did you train?  Where do you see room for the most improvement?
