Our Plans For The CrossFit Open

John — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 02:08:37 +0000

The opportunity to compete against the best in the business is almost upon us, the CrossFit Open starts February 22nd! We know many of you have been hesitating to sign up for the CrossFit Open because of potential scheduling conflicts. In hopes of making this event more accessible to all of our athletes, we are going to make a big change from last year’s workout plan. During the 5 weeks of the Open, every Friday all regularly scheduled classes will have the opportunity to perform the Open WOD for that week and have it verified. We will also have a second verification session every Saturday after our morning classes.

So it’s time to Get Registered for The Open, Team P3 CrossFit wants and needs you to compete! All skill levels are highly encouraged to participate in the CrossFit Open. It’s time to throw your hat into the ring to see where you stand…

Lorraine and Fran team up and destroy the WOD with a smile. It’s a state of mind, fun is not difficult. Going into a workout do you think it is going to be fun or difficult?

A first for us, this Sunday February 12th we will be open up the gym to do the Hero WOD Small. Marc was a good friend of mine, first meeting during a layover/flight delay on our way to Army basic training. I ask that for all of those that wish to participate in this event to please bring a donation (cash or check) for the Small Steps in Speech foundation. A 501(c)(3) Non-Profit organization established by his fiance Amanda Charney in his honor. We plan to start things off at 12pm and would like to hear from you in the comments if you plan to attend.

Everything is easier with a smile on your face…

The Remodel Continues

Dan A — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 16:00:40 +0000

We are going into phase two of our face lift for the gym. Phase two will include the removal of the trusty old dust collecting bookshelf. During it’s time at P3 ‘Ole Dusty’ has become home to various items left behind. Including but not limited to: several pairs of Olympic Lifting shoes/boots and other assorted foot wear, water bottles, more jackets than we know what to do with, coffee cups, numerous Success Journals, and John’s old baseball gloves just to name a few. ALL of these items MUST BE REMOVED by this Friday or they will be donated/thrown away.

Please help us in this next step to clean up the gym and take your personal things with you! Sammy Da Puppy gets to stay though…

I guess I’m just a little biased of our early morning group, as I continually find myself bragging about them throughout the day. If you don’t recognize this awesome woman in mid flight of a big box jump you’re missing out. Everyday she has a plan to push herself a little bit further than previous. Fran has been a great part of our morning classes for a long time now and is an inspiration to the entire coaching staff with her continued improvement every week.
