If I had to guess, I'd guess that this week is a test to see how sore we can all get. I'm sure all of you are feeling the same all over awesomeness that I'm feeling. Ugh. One of my goals for this year is to get a Masseuse Crossfitter to join our gym. This would, of course, be in the best interest of the masseuse. Imagine how much business we could drive their way, especially after a week like this.

The workout last night was 5 rounds for time of 15 deadlifts, 12 hang power cleans, 9 front squats and 6 push jerks. For those of you who were here for the "get a grip" team Friday event, this workout was an all too familiar horror. Everyone did a great job though. There were 12 people at our 6pm class, so we had to get creative with the equipment sharing, but we made it through! We had a visit from our buddy Pete again, and he amazed us with his strength. He was our only CrossFitter to go through this workout at the prescribed weight of 60kg! Nice work Pete. How's your grip feeling today?

Mariah had me laughing again last night. With 12 people putting forth maximum effort, the Fort got a little warm. Remember how warm it was outside? I'm walking by people lifting, squatting and jerking watching the sweat just pour off them...and Mariah looks over at me very timidly and says, "It's kinda hot in here". It never once dawned on me to open the door. Sorry guys!

I would like to welcome our two new members, Nathan and Megan. They are our third married couple to join together. You guys are too cute! Nathan is Brittany's brother, and so far it looks like he has her same level of determination to do well! Megan is quite possibly one of the sweetest people I have ever met! We are all so glad to have you at CrossFit Fire! WELCOME!
