Dani won not 1, not 2, but 3 of the 4 events, putting her in 1st place overall for the day and putting the ladies of Champlain Valley CrossFit on the top spot in every event.

I’m actually shocked at how many people came in and hammered out a hard workout. I think a lot of you were surprised at how tough the ring rows were. Great job on the clean and jerk, we saw a ton of PR’s. Hope to see some folks for a benchmark tomorrow. Cheers.

Definitely a tricky and tough little movement. It was awesome to see so many people in, we had big classes, and people were really pushing each other. It’s going to be a scorcher tomorrow, drink that aqua. Cheers.
