"Year-End Interval Events"

The only time you can actually sprint in any wod is in the beginning. By setting up intervals, our athletes were able to have 4 different sprint distances and a whole bunch of functional movements.

Overhead squats is a skill. Make sure you possess the necessary skills before loading up a bar. Until you can get in the accurate position, it is strongly recommended that you substitute with a front squat for load and practice the overhead position with pvc pipe or an 18lb bar. This is quite different than trying to get loaded and then do overhead squats=)

Happy Birthday Chris!!


Chris tried to fly under the radar and not let anyone know it was his birthday, but as often the case, someone squealed. Building bonds through a little suffering is the only way CrossFitters like to celebrate birthdays.

One partner goes out on a 300m run while the other works on the reps. Running partner returns and picks up where room partner left off. This goes on for 30 minutes. I know many were hoping that Chris was pushing 20 instead. Happy Birthday Chris!
