WOD as Rx’d = 15:45.
Not a PR by a long shot. Last June was 15:00. Probably had something to do with the wine I drank last night.
I particularly enjoyed watching Denis dance his little jig this morning, while running backwards
Nice job on the video Pat. If I didn’t already to CrossFit, I’d be hooked after watching that.
Great job on the video Pat! Makes me want to join all over again! Nice!!

Thanks for all the compliments on the video guys! As a 3 year member, I never get tired of your support in and outside the gym. I hope this video will influence at least a few people to walk through our door and see what we’re all about.

Time-> 13:54 I think. I should take better notes.
The first round was pretty easy. I found running backwards was almost easier, and faster than running forward. Last half was killer. Pretty much gassed out.
Apparently I run backwards like a gazelle. Love learning new things.
I said deer!! Let’s not get carried away! Lol great job jack!
Deer, gazelle, same thing. They both have hooves right? Either way I think it was a complement?
Nice work Jack. Now we have to get your better half to post…smiles…
I got her to come with me to the gym. That’s a success story for me. The fact that she likes it is a miracle. Lol
Love the video…. just sent it to friends who are on the fence about joining… this should help!
I really love the rowing shots of Amanda… really nice!

Great job 6:30 peeps!
I thought after the first 800 forward and 200 back I could pace you guys but on the turnaround the legs said “what are you trying to prove here. ” Brain said I’m not sure but I see where your going with this. “
