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…

WOD: Push Press: 5-5-5-5-5 AQAP:400m Squat Clean Medball Throw 40/30400m Sled Drag 95/70400m Run Post results/thoughts to comments Nice work on the push press today everybody. Many of you are doing a great job of correcting your dip and drive, remember to keep that chest up and don’t be afraid to stand a little wider and keep those knees out just like a squat. Wow that was some nice sunshine today, hope you liked the workout, something a little different, but a fun one none the less that should have warmed up the ole posterior chain quite a bit. For those competing in the Open rest up tomorrow, for those not, hope to see you in. Cheers. 7 AM class hucking the balls Phillip digging in and moving the sled Steve making the ball fly Courtney working hard – Jade

We will begin doing more and more strength work with percentages to hopefully steer you guys to some successful lifts and more PRs. Nice job on the met-con, a nice couplet of a relatively heavy and technical movement, paired with the basic of the basic and a very lung driven movement. Some impressive numbers were thrown up and you all did awesome. Keep up the great work. Cheers.
