Just wanted to say that I had an absolutely awesome time with the rest of the Champlain Valley CrossFit team down at CrossFit Milford this weekend. The whole team did an amazing job, and it was an honor to be able to compete with them. The team did awesome and we ended up finishing 4th out of 45 teams. It was a great learning experience for each and everyone of us, and I’m looking forward to going to the CrossFit Southie Garage Games with all of you that signed up. Cheers. End of the weekend…Pre Trevors tie breaker Fran Off – Jade

Hope you guys can all sit down okay tomorrow. Way to tear those up and hammer those ball slams. I saw quite a few PR’s on the front squat, awesome work on that. Hope to see lots of you tomorrow. Cheers. Abby working through some front squats Bob has been making huge progress, he had to sub a couple movements today and was banging out some pull-ups…great job Bob On-Rampers have just one more class left, they’ve been doing awesome – Jade

WOD: Thruster: 3-3-3, 10-10-10 4 rounds for Max Reps:1 minute Sumo Deadlift High-pull 95/65, 65/451 minute Push Press 95/65, 65/451 minute Rest Perform 2 rounds at the first weight, then strip the bar to the second weight for rounds 3 and 4 Post results/thoughts to comments Great work today everybody. Way to push some heavy weights around on those thrusters. It seems to be happening often these days, “oh that doesn’t look that bad,” followed by shoulders blown up and folks laying on the floor 🙂 Great work on the met-con, never underestimate anything on the board, often the easiest looking stuff is often the hardest. Cheers. Stephanie with a nice high-pull Jo and Nancy bars overhead – Jade

Myself, Dani, Trevor, and Kristi will be heading down to Milford, CT on Friday to compete at the Garage Games Team event. We are super excited to go compete and looking forward to a great time. There are almost 50 teams competing so we are hoping to kick some ass and represent Champlain Valley CrossFit well. Wish us the best of luck and we hope you guys all have an awesome weekend. Cheers. – Jade
