CrossFit 717

John Fox, owner of FoxBuilt, and myself will be custom making and installing Olympic Lifting platforms for the new box.  We could use a hand this Tuesday starting at 8am sharp if anyone has time.  Caution, you may have to read a tape measure.

The number of PR's from the Crossfit Total yesterday is outstanding!

Huge shout out to Laura R.  If you don't know Laura, she has more determination and commitment than any one I have ever met.  She joined the Crossfit classes at the end of March, barely able to stand up out of a full depth squat.  I would have to sneak behind her during WOD's and steal weight, not because she refused to scale the WOD, but because she has an unwavering belief in herself that once she starts something, she will finish it.  We love it.  She embodies what we are all about.

Yesterday, she back squatted 175lbs.  Unbelievable.  WAY TO GO LAURA!!

Now, onto the...

WOD
