ANNOUNCEMENT! BURPEE CHALLENGE ENDED YESTERDAY!
Yes, that’s right. The one hundred day burpee challenge has been called off at 31 days. That is enough!
Today’s WOD:
5 rounds for time:
5 bleachers
5 hang power cleans
5 push jerks
We will see how it goes. Coach Kaye just learned she is pregnant with twins. As you can imagine she has been feeling very ill in the mornings. So we will attempt to run this WOD business as usual. We’ll have the puke bucket near by and hopefully no one will be fighting over it. Please don’t congratulate Kaye. She isn’t that excited about the “news.”

Allen, Glen, Jeff Martone, Kaye, and Ron at the Kettlebell Certification
As you know, Kaye is attending a Kettlebell Certification in Bellingham today.
Here’s a message and photo Kaye sent during the break: “Jeff Martone lifted this 125 pound woman, Mikaela from Bellingham, in front of my eyes. IT WAS AMAZING. Jeff was fabulous. The certification was fantastic. Can’t wait to share this stuff with everyone! Now heading to Seattle to join the guys from King CrossFit for a WOD.”
