As you can guess by my previous post, the workout yesterday was dead-lift 5 x 5. We had a TON of people set PR's yesterday! Brittany proved to us once again that she is some sort of PR setting, Chuck Norris, Ninja type person. Her old PR at the deadlift was 80kg, and she rep'd right through 5 reps at 85kg! LOOK OUT! It's going to be tough to decide who comes with to the CrossFit Games Affiliate Challenge this summer...Brittany is turning herself into a real contendor! I'm going to have to step it up if I want to make the team.
In our ladies class, we were joined by Tony's wife Lani! WELCOME! Lani is among the small percentage of women who have actually lifted weights prior to coming to the Fort. Girl - you did a GREAT job! Please stop by again on a Metcon day so you can see what the OTHER side of CrossFit is like. (evil grin)

I can totally crush 85kg 5X5. Can I make the team? Or can I just come along to say I can beat Brittany any time anywhere.
