A Weekend in review

Chest 7

This past weekend CFV held its first ever one day in house competition. We have hosted many other events such as the MadLab tournament and our annual Nutts Cup, but this was the first one day event that we have hosted solely for our members.

The energy was great, the competitors worked hard.

Almost everyone I talked to said they pr’d not only their hang clean, but their clean in general. It was awesome to watch Andy come out of the abyss and show off his skill. I said to him after the competition, “Andy, I think thats the first pull up I’ve see you do”. With a typical Andy response of “Yeah… I have pull ups”.

It was also great to have people approach me who had never competed before and tell me how much they enjoyed the experience of the crowd, the atmosphere and the extra intensity.

Again I want to send out a thank you to everyone who competed and to everyone who came to support their friends and family. I’ve spent a fair amount of hours at CrossFit events and the vibe in the room was as legit as any I have been to.

Expect to see our second in house comp sometime this spring. Likely after Regionals sometime in May. Which will be followed up by Nutts Cup August 16th.

Thanks Tom & Mike! I had a great time and I appreciate the fact that I wasn’t sore after too…my friend was visiting and thought we had an awesome vibe and she had a good time watching the last 2 events.

On another note – I want to see the caption of the photo of Marylyn (Photo of the Day), but when I click on it, it doesn’t seem to open…still working on some bugs on the new website or is it my computer?

The gym had an amazing buzz right from when I walked in at 8:15am – actually took me a little by surprise. The energy held and built right through to the final event. Such a great day! Nothing like a little competition to bring out the best athlete in all of us.
Big high fives to Tom and Mike for donating your time and energy to put this event together and pull it off so well. Can’t wait for the next one!
