Progenex

Just wanted to let you know that Progenex is ordered and on it’s way. It should be here Monday. I only ordered a limited amount because I don’t know what everybody needs. There are 14 bags of Recovery and 8 bags of More Muscle coming. It will be first come, first serve, if you really want to make sure you get some you can pay for it in advance. – Jade

Non Open CompetitorsRowing Intervals:3 x 500m w/3 minutes Rest Post results/thoughts to comments First or second year competing in the Open, beast or casual CrossFitter, I want to congratulate you all for doing such an amazing job and being such amazing people. You should all be proud of yourself for everything you’ve done through the Open, Snatch PR’s, first Chest-to-bars, and so on. For some of you this lit a fire under your ass to train harder and really attack the Open next year. We had 10 people do the Open last year, 30 or so this year, I’d love to see 60 or 70 next year and there is absolutely no reason all of you can’t do…
