The Last Five Weeks – 2013 CrossFit Open
As we said yesterday we could not be more impressed with the turnout, effort and dedication we had this year for the CrossFit Open. Five weeks ago we were nervous about getting 5 people signed up, our team ended up being 25 people strong. Not only did we have people sign up, they showed up to throwdown every Saturday.
From first muscle ups, and chest to bar pull ups to 5 lb PR’s. People broke through barriers physically and mentally week after week. Not only was it impressive to watch it was inspiring to be a part of.
We are athletes as well as coaches and without a community of people who are willing to test their physical limits we could not make any of this possible. We can not thank you enough for all your hard work over the past five weeks.
For those of you who caught the competition bug we have plans to throw a local/in-house competition at CFH, there are also a ton of competitions that happen around the area and we are looking into finding a time for an advanced/competition class! Below are a few photos of the workouts over the past five weeks. Now it is time to train for the 2014 open!
