As you can see you will start getting names with all of the met-cons from now on. I’m starting by going through a list of Civil War battlefields/towns, so you guys will have some sort of name to place with every workout. Great job on the met-con as well. Hopefully see a bunch of people in tomorrow for the “Hope on the Slope” fundraiser. Workouts will go at 8:00 AM, 8:45 AM, and 9:30 AM. There will be NO 10:30 AM Free Intro workout. If we don’t see you tomorrow have a great weekend and see you Monday for the “Ryan Hawks Memorial Workout.” Cheers. Ryan…

WOD: Deadlift: 5-5-5Strict Press: 5-5-512 minute AMRAP:10 Burpee Pull-ups50 Double-unders Post results/thoughts to comments For those of you who made it into the gym I’m sorry that I missed you. This morning my dear friend, and one of our most positive, happy, and helpful members, Ryan Hawks passed away due to injuries sustained from a skiing accident at the Subaru Free Skiing World Tour in Kirkwood California. Many of you may not know him as he trained with us only through the summer and fall before he went out West for the winter.

If any of you would like to attend his service please let me…

WOD: “Chelsea” – Every-minute-on-the-minute until failure (45 minute/round cap)5 Pull-ups10 Push-ups15 Air Squats Post results/thoughts to comments Great work today everybody, a bit of a repeat from Saturday, but a benchmark that you guys all pushed hard on none the less. Scott and Bryant pushed through all 45 available rounds, with many others close behind. I have a feel there will be some sore legs tomorrow with some of you hitting upwards of 600 air squats or more. Great work guys. See you tomorrow. Cheers. Julia racing the clock A big class at 5:45 PM – Jade
