Congratulations to all our athletes who have completed 17.4! This WOD required stepping out of your comfort zone for a really big set of heavy deadlifts and our athletes stepped up to the plate! Remember to submit your scores on the Games website by Monday at 7PM!

Check out Heather’s 17.4 photos on our facebook page here.

We’re approaching the final week of the the 2017 CrossFit Open. Every single year has included 95/65# thrusters in the final week. It’s safe to assume we’ll see them again this year. Monday’s WOD is tricky. 7 minutes is relatively short so you can’t pace too much or you’ll run out of time quickly in the longer rounds of 9/12/15 reps. However, thrusters and pullups are a brutal combination and if you go to quickly you’ll feel like you’re dying at 3 minutes. Let’s hit it hard!
