Krissi swinging the big 55 lb. Kettlebell on Saturday

"Griff"
Once through for time of:
800m run
400m run backwards
800m run
400m run backwards

We'd like to Congratulate Nikki on finish the on-ramp and do very well on her re-Cherry. Actually "very well" doesn't quite do justice to the improvement she's made.  When she first came to us (only a short time ago) she only completed 1.5 rounds on her first Cherry.  She threw out her cigarettes before she left that first day, and committed herself to change.  Today she completed the full 4 rounds of Cherry in 10:42.  That is an exponential increase in performance and dedication.  Afterwards she was talking about doing a crossfit competition "in the next 12 months", but hopefully we'll get her out there sooner than that. 

Nikki, we're very happy to have you on board and can't wait to see what you'll do in the coming months.
