Commercial
At CrossFit we have a general disdain for anything that is being promoted or commercialized, but there are a few businesses that have been really good to us (each was generous enough to give us prizes for our Paleo Challenge winners), and I want to give them some props.
Classic Shine - Tech Circle, Natick
This is Warren's car detailing company. A bunch of CFNE-ers have had their cars detailed (including Heather and I) and it's awesome. Like getting a new car. Plus it's right next door to CFNE, what could be better.
Big Papis Grille - Route 9, Natick
This is Pete's Resturaunt in Natick. Big Papi's is the perfect combination of a relaxed family-friendly place with SUPER good food. They have tons of Paleo choices on the menu. We go there just about once a week; sometimes with the kids, sometimes with friends. My personal favorite is the Chop Salad with Grilled Salmon....Delicious.
Caring Touch Message Therapy - Union Street, Natick
This is Katrina's business just outside of Natick Center. Heather and I have both been seeing Katrina for almost a year. I have her work on trouble areas once a week and it has made all the difference. Katrina knows her stuff and will help you recover and perform better.
Many of our top athletes are using Progenex "Recovery" to improve their performance. Others have started the "Grow" and have seen some size gains. You can oder either of these products HERE and automatically get our 10% CFNE Discount.

GAMES UPDATE
Big Bri's Deadlift that put him in second place overall.
Master's Competition
Big Bri is a Beast. He is tied for second place after finishing the Overhead Sqaut/Run wod in second, just seconds behind first, and Pulling a 405 Deadlift!!!! BEAST!
Individual Competition
Heather had a beautiful performance in the first workout which was 9-7-5 reps of Muscle ups and 95# Squat Snatches. She was one of only 12 women to finish the workout and is nicely positioned in 7th overall.
Affiliate Team Competition
Heather here! Team CFNE is ABSOLUTELY crushing it out here!!! It's so exciting to watch this group; their transitions are seamless, they are powerful as all hell, their movement is beautiful, and the way they read each other is like watching a really great relationship unfold. You can't imagine the competition they're up against out here: women that make 105# thrusters look like a walk in the park, guys that butterfly chest to bar pull-ups like they weigh as much as Jonah, teams that have a fierce look in their eyes that will give me a week's worth of nightmares. They take it on with an amazing sort of grace. After the first WOD, they stand in FIRST PLACE...in the WORLD. That's NO joke, guys. I feel like a proud parent, and I had NOTHING to do with this! It's crazy. The support from all of you has been priceless. I'm posting some photos on Facebook and will try to keep posting some on this site, but we're missing you guys back home like crazy. Try to check out the Live feed on the Games site if you get a chance.

Team CFNE:
Mat Frankel, Jenna Gale, Lisa Mikkelsen (aka Lisa-8), Ben Bergeron, Mel Ockerby and Derek Mohamed
Team CFNE earned a spot at the 2010 CrossFit Games by winning the North East Regional Competition. Their performance was nothing short of dominating as they were the only team in the country to win every wod at their Regional. TEAM CFNE's is looking to improve on their performance at last year's Games where they finished 17th.
=====================================================================================================
Masters Competitor: Brian Curley, aka "Big Bri"
The Masters Division is for CrossFitters over the age of 50. Big Bri is currently ranked 3rd in the world, and he has a legit shot at a podium finish in L.A. Big Bri has been training with intensity for over six years (he was Ben's first personal training client, and hasn't missed a training session in all six years).
===================================================================================================
Individual Competitor: Heather Bergeron
Heather is a veteran Games Competitor who finished 17th last year. She earned herself a return to the big show by winning the Northeast Regional. Heather is a regular on the CrossFit HQ staff and has become an Athlete To Watch at this year's games. Anyone that saw Heather compete at the Regionals will tell you about how mentally tough and determined she is. Heather is religious about training and improving her weaknesses and is entering this year's competiton as well rounded as any ot the top competitors in the world.
==================================================================================================
Our Games Athletes hope to represent ALL the awesome athletes at CFNE. We know that we are not competing as a team of six, and two individuals - but representing EVERY member that busts their ass every day at CFNE.
This is OUR opportunity - CFNE as a whole - to compete for the tittle "WORLD'S FITTEST."
Whether you have been with us since our early days at Nobles or just finished Elements last week, you have influenced us and inspired us more than you know. Your energy, passion and commitment will be with us as we compete in L.A.
THANK YOU to the entire CFNE community

Jule has invited all CFNE-ers to watch the Games at his place....
"Hey Everybody,
I want to invite you all to the first annual CrossFit Games Viewing Party at my place in Boston this weekend.
Competition happens from 11am - 10pm EST on Saturday, and 11am - 8pm EST on Sunday, I plan on being home, so come by when you can! Since CF HQ has not announced any WOD times, we can't really organize around when our boys and girls are competing, but here is the schedule for reference.
http://games2010.crossfit.com/info/schedule/
Shoot me a line if you can make it and want to come down, I'll get back with the address. Please email me at jslootbeek@gmail.com or call/text me at 617 901 6958
Dresscode: lulu lemon, sweet zip-up hoodies or t-shirts repping your box, or some fantastic military charity, and innov8 shoes. (strictly enforced 
)
I will get some sort of snacks, but would appreciate it if everybody brought some food - we have a grill, so we can get meat cooking all day long, and will have some beers for those who are paleo-challenged.
Please forward this to everybody I have missed, and feel free to bring non-CFers (ie. significant others, kids, and family members) to get inspired!
-Jule
