The strength work yesterday was power clean 3-3-3-1-1-1. We had a camera malfunction, so we don't have any pictures of the white board OR our amazing power cleaning!  BOO! I think the little camera that could has finally bit the dust.

Of all days for the camera to take a dive, it's of course a day when people are swinging kettle bells. There are few things I like to take pictures of more than kettle bell swings. There's something so sweet and poetic about the bell gracefully locking out over head...the lens just eats you guys up! sigh..

Our metcon was Helen.

3 rounds for time of:
400m run
21 kettle bell swings (24/16kg)
12 pull-ups

Is everyone glad to finally have some running weather? Audra told me she can't wait for the snow to come back so that we don't have to run anymore.

We had a bunch of PR's yesterday on this workout, but without the camera we are relying on my AMAZING memory. (eye roll) I know for sure that Stacy, Pete, Tommy Mo, Morgan and Josh T all set new PR's. Hooray for you guys! Sorry if I missed your name. Feel free to scold me in the comments section for being a doofus.

Occasionally I come across articles on the Internet that give me hope that I feel are worth sharing. Check out this article from The Sunday Paper. They couldn't have chosen a more dorky picture....but you get the point.

We are re-vamping the way we handle our referral bonuses. I could give you a big long story explaining all our reasoning behind the change...but it doesn't really matter. For the last 2 years we have offered a 50% credit to our current members if they referred a friend who signed up for a membership. Instead of a discount, we will start awarding quarterly prizes to our members who bring in referrals. For every person you bring in who signs up for membership, you will get one entry into our drawing for a prize. The size and awesomeness of the prize will be determined by how many tickets (referrals) are in the pot. We are thinking things like spa packages, Visa gift cards, etc. Do you have an idea for a referral prize? Post your ideas to comments! This change will be effective immediately. If you currently have a buddy in our ramp-up program fear not; you will be grandfathered into our old referral program.

Reminder: The Fort will be closed this Saturday for the Oly certification.
