Today is officially SnoRidge CrossFit’s 6th birthday! Our baby has grown from just a 3 car garage to a converted office space to two big warehouses over the years. We couldn’t have done it without the support of all of the SRCF coaches, friends and family. Happy birthday to us!

Here is one of the first posts from our garage days on our website where I listed our WOD. After 5 years we are still posting the workout daily.

Happy 100th WOD to both Chris and Mike! So glad you both stuck with this!

A pretty fair interview with the founder of CF aired on 60 Minutes last night. There are also some additional shorter video clips that were edited from the broadcast interview on the link below.

“Sharyn Alfonsi profiles Greg Glassman, a brash, former gymnast who created the CrossFit workout, now the basis for a chain of gyms that has become the largest in history.”

This 2012 CF Games Chipper was one of my favorite events to watch. The race was close until Froning decided to just move ahead and watch everyone on the Jumbotron while doing fat bar thrusters.

Sorry for the late posts and results pics, I’ve been down for the count the past couple days. The past two posts are now updated.

With Regionals upon us, the individual and team events are now released. This year’s programming is well balanced across broad time and modal domains, with a return towards lighter weights and higher intensity for the Hero WOD’s; along with a great twist on one of last year’s best Games workouts (Sprint Clean Ladder) and two of the more interesting Regional workouts (HS walk and Snatch events). Can’t wait to watch the best move through these in some ridiculously fast times.

The first two individual Regional events have been announced and they are both Hero WOD’s! This is a first time for any Games event to have a Hero WOD as far as I can remember.  They have programmed benchmark “Girls” workouts before but not a WOD dedicated to the memory of a Hero who died in the line of duty (I’m not counting “Amanda” even though that one is in memory of a CrossFitter).
