Charlie and I returned from California on Monday evening, awash in the experience of watching 150 male and female competitors gruel it out throught 8 workouts in 2 days.
Thank you to all the folks at Crossfit Legacy, and the other Northeast Ohio affiliates for your donations to make the trip possible for Charlie and I.
Charlie did not disappoint. Check out this picture below. He gave it all he had and this is him sprinting to finish line after the 7k trail run "From HELL!"
Sitting in the Hotel room at the moment. Charlie, Joe, and Chris just finished watching me suffer through 400m run and 50 air squats--4 rounds in 12:50
It is not a good idea to do this after dinner as I cramped in my stomach so bad I could hardly stand up!!
Regardless, it has been an uneventful trip thus far. We are heading out to the Ranch tomorrow at 6am to register and watch the Affiliate Cup competion and scope out the terrain for the trail run...which has been posted HERE!!

We had a great time at the Fundraiser for Charlie Dunifer on Friday night and it was great to see all of the Northeast Ohio and Carolina CF'ers support of Charlie's bid to the Crossfit Games in Aromas Califonia.

You guys and gals should be "looked to" on how to model community, because there is very very few groups that come together on a regular basis like you do!!!

It was a great morning yesterday as the temperature was perfect for a great outdoor workout.
I promised that we would get the tires out this week to our athletes, and I did not disappoint. How often do you get to flip tires, use a sledge hammer and jump up and down in a workout?
It was a great time and folks turned in some great rep counts
The athletes at Crossfit Legacy never cease to amaze me.
They continue to make every morning and afternoon fun.
In the AM and PM Classes, new PR's and Benchmark numbers were set for the Overhead Squat.
You will NOT find this move being performed in a "Globo Gym" or family fitness center.
At Crossfit Legacy, we are not afraid to throw weight around, and to quote Rob Orlando, "It took a long time to get my head around the idea, that you can

As a class, we performed the Crossfit named workout: "Annie" this morning. It is a good benchmark to see how people are improving in midline stability and endurance.
I was pumped when I looked back and saw the number of how everyone is improving in this WOD.
In addition, those that completed the WOD for the first time, went after it hard, and did great!
