Luke Kayyem to host 9/11 WOD at CrossFit UpCountry Maui! Fri, 9/9
Canadian Oly-lifts! Thurs, 9/8
Good fortune struck us last week when Vincent Paquin, an Olympic weightlifting coach from Montreal, happened upon our box. He hung around again Wednesday, working with a few of us on the clean and jerk, but this time he brought his National Champion girlfriend with him. Emily Quarton was the first alternate for the 2008 Olympic Team. The coaching and demonstration was unbelievable. Having both of them in the box was an honor and a gift. Mahalo!
We also had visitors in the AM class. Welcome Melinda and Jeff from Bellingham, WA. It seems there is a growing connection with the Northwest Washington CrossFit community. Melinda knows our very own Kinsey, and works out at Mt. Baker CrossFit with Skip Baker. Welcome Melinda! (Don’t let the photo fool you…. Jeff just dropped her off and went and had coffee!)
Be on time! More great warm up drills and level testing!

If you are interested in refining your clean & jerk skills, stick around after the 9:00 AM class. Vincent, a coach from Montreal who stumbled upon us by chance, has offered to help us with our clean and jerks from 10:00 to noon. Give a shout if you want in.
