“Stop the Slop” Challenge last call:

Last chance to make up Jackie and weigh-in is tomorrow! Tell your coach when you come in! We have a few left who need to make up Jackie and weigh-in. Then we can publish the winners and runners-up.

Two of our own competed in two different types of athletic events this weekend and both dominated and placed very well in their respective races. Congrats to Pat and Matt on their hard earned accomplishments! 

Pat took 7th overall out of 44 men in the Elite Division of the CrossFit Bellevue and CrossFit Interbay Throwdown on Saturday. He was 12th, 13th and 5th in each of the three WOD’s. The results for the last WOD and final read funny but scroll down for Pat’s time and overall finish as there was a mixup in locating his final WOD scoresheet that was straightened out today. Read the recap (which mentions Pat’s gray hair and his stellar performance in the last WOD) and see the results from CF Bellevue/CF Interbay Throwdown. The video at the bottom is a photo recap made by CF Bellevue.

Matt went to Nevada to compete in the Bootleg Downhill Mountain Bike Race and took 3rd place and 8th place in two races (Cat 1 Masters and Chainless Open)! To get an idea of how gnarly downhill mountain bike racing is simply go outside to your garage, grab your bike and a helmet. Then find a very steep, rocky and dangerous hill that even Chuck Norris would think twice about riding down. Get on the bike and then ride down as fast as you can while acting like you have control and impersonating a human jackhammer. It will be over in just a few minutes IF you make it to the bottom without dying. Now you know why Matt is a ninja.
