Again, I’m very thankful for the athletes mentioned above, and all of the athletes on our team for that matter, that have contributed to the team in one way or another. I was stoked to see a few more PRs this week, as a result of testing your limits in the Open WOD. All the reasons why I wanted people to get involved are unfolding and it’s a pleasure to witness. i.e., PRs, team work, camaraderie, motivation and getting more fit!

I look forward to this Saturday’s event that CrossFit CrownTown is hosting. When the 12.4 WOD is released, I will be creating a heat list for you to sign up on to designate what time you will be competing. It’s based on equipment needed to complete the WOD, space and the time domain of the WOD. Regardless, you will all have a chance to go. Please let me know, if you are on the team and will not be able to attend this Saturday. – WW
