The sky was yellow and the sun was blue

The rain held off and we were able to complete tonight's brutal WOD of Squat Cleans and Running outdoors.  This was one of those WODs that looks hard on paper and lives up to it.  55 Squat Cleans and about 1.5 miles or running is no easy task, but every athlete at Albany CrossFit kicked some butt!

It was great to have Brett "the morning guy" stop by to hit the workout.  Brett absolutely crushed the WOD, clearly whatever is going on at ACF in the early morning hours is working!

Heidi and Heather did a super jump increasing the weight per our request, not before doing their best to get out of it of course.  They both did great hitting the cleans with 10 more pounds then they had originally had on the bar, when will you ladies learn you are so much stronger then you think you are?!

Angie and Kari did phenomenal at 6:30pm really toughing it out with heavy weight.  Angie was one of only 4 women to hit this WOD rx'd along with Katie, Viv, and Stacey.  Even the men had some trouble hitting this as prescribed, but Ted, Tom, Jared, Alan, Brett, and Matt were all able to get it done.

Congratulations to Dona for finishing her Burpee Challenge tonight!  Great job!

Don't forget Matt's new Outlaw Fitness starts this Saturday.
