WOD: Wendler: Week 10 – Pull AQAP:800m Run30 Clean and Jerks 135/95800m Run Post results/thoughts to comments Wow, great job today everybody. You all pulled some heavy deadlifts, and ran your butts off. Way to really push it on the final 800m, like I explained to everyone before the workout, whenever you do something that ends with a row or run you should be on the floor, you should push yourself to the limit that last minute or so of the workout. Hope lots of you make it into the gym tomorrow. Cheers.

WOD: Muscle-up Practice: 15 minutes “Jack”- 20 minute AMRAP:10 Push Press 115/8310 Kettlebell Swings 53/3510 Box Jumps  24/18 Post results/thoughts to comments So there was at least 1 first muscle-up today, a bunch of you who have gotten a few in the past got them more dialed in, and many of you worked on getting the pull-up and ring dip stronger. Great job on the met-con. I think many looked at it and thought it wouldn’t be too bad, but it was a tough one. You guys all pushed yourselves super hard and got all the reps you could. See you tomorrow. Cheers. Scott putting the bar overhead Jen making the weight look light Jason on his way up to the box – Jade

To Jade and the members of Champlain Valley CrossFit …..as I stepped from the boat adorned with my caveman frock, sweaty smelly  life-jacket, paddle in slightly trembling hands from the all-out exertion, I knew we had come together through our limited experience (first timers), given it our all, and done so in as unified an effort as we could manage. This had been the final of three heats which had commenced early in the morning, and finished with the finals race at 4:30. Having been nipped at the line twice by Confluence CrossFit from Montpelier in earlier heats, and having the 5th fastest time going into the final, none of us had any idea where we stood since all our intent was focused in the boat as we paddled as hard as we could.
