CrossFit Upcountry Maui

We are revamping our Turkey Trimming challenge. Starting Tuesday, November 1, the challenge is simply to give up wheat and sugar for 30 days. There is no buy in, nothing to log. Just omit those two devils from your diet and you’re in. There are no cheat days, however. If you are in you are in and have to go the duration which means no pie on Thanksgiving.  Announce to the box if you are in!

Welcome to newcomers Todd (pictured below with Coach Jonathan) and Mark (oops, no photo) who both came to us with CrossFit experience and have jumped right into the game. Todd met pukie during Filthy Fifty and with Coach Jonathan’s encouragement kept on going to finish the WOD. Way to go Todd! Already raising the bar!

Rumor has it someone else met pukie after the WOD. Lisa, feeling the love, during those brutal 50 wall balls.

Jason would have beat his time with heavier weights but Coach Jonathan kept “no repping” him.  Jonathan won’t let the smallest thing slide!

A few of us got to cheer on a couple of our members in separate contests this weekend. Holley skated to a victory in her first roller derby.  The Maui Roller Girls played a team from Coos Bay, Oregon, in Kihei on Saturday afternoon.  Nurse Nova took care of their every need.

Meanwhile, back in Haiku, Andrea and Coach Jonathan were competing in the Strongman Competition at UpCountry Fitness in Haiku

And a huge congrats to our friend Kehau, from CrossFit RFM, one of the strongest gals there who took home second place!
