CrossFit Open Update

After three events, the Green Army finds itself in a familiar spot: fighting to qualify for Regionals, where the weights are heavier and the workouts (historically, at least) shorter. In 2012, the team qualified in 29th place out of 30 teams, and exploded upward into 15th by the end of Regional competition. With

one notable team change, we'll be pushing extra hard to qualify in 2013!

Patty Desjardins' Bottom Line
As you're about to read, Patty may have seemed an unlikely candidate for CrossFit at first. She had a preexisting shoulder condition; she was nervous. She'd never belonged to a gym before.
Skip forward a few years, and here's what you get: a short little bombshell with a bottom-line sense of humor. She may, in fact, be the most fit math-head in town (sorry, Armand.) Click to read Patty's story.

Will Kaupp – Where There's A Will….


Two weeks ago, Will sent an email thanking Jarret for encouraging him to do lateral jumps over a bar. He'd had a double-hip replacement, and thought he'd never do lateral jumps again. 
 
He did.
 
He signed up for the Open. Before 13.1, he mentioned to Mel, "I haven't done 95lbs over my head before." Mel told him to try it anyway.
 
He did.
 
 This is Will's story.

Brandon Gaudette: White River Style


Brandon Gaudette is a lanky kid with a huge smile. His big engine outguns his barbell power – the same way that many CrossFit superstars began. Brandon possessess all the attributes of greatness: a wicked sense of humour, humility, and doggedness. 

"I was intrigued because I previously struggled to find a workout that fit me. I tried many different things but I just couldn't stick with it or I got bored. But now I am completely hooked and I can honestly say I'm a CrossFit junky!" – Brandon Gaudette
