WOD: Jump Rope – Skill Session: 10 minutes “Nate” – 20 minute AMRAP:2 Muscle-ups4 Handstand Push-ups8 Kettlebell Swings 70/53 Post results/thoughts to comments Awesome to see so many folks in today. You guys all did awesome, some of you did your first workouts with muscle-ups, and others got their first workout on with some handstand push-ups. Double-unders look like they are getting better and better for many of you. Keep up the amazing work. Hope to see lots of you tomorrow. Cheers. Jason has been getting stronger and stronger and was hammering out the ring dips Jeff doing a great job of swinging the 70 for the first time – Jade

The CrossFit Games

Just wanted to say congratulations from everyone at the gym to Kelly Steadman who competed at the CrossFit Games this past weekend. While Kelly primarily trains at her house, she has been in a little to train with us and did the Open with us, plus she lives in good old Vermont so it’s awesome to see our little state represented. She wound up 14th place, just missing the final cut to the last workouts. Congratulations Kelly. – Jade

Thanks so much to all of you that came into the gym to help with our renovation. We likely won’t have the finishing touches done until the end of the week, but we’ve got some surprises for everybody to see when they make it in for there next class.
