This is a video of The CrossFit Invictus Affiliate team in last year’s Games.
That was Coach Sage Burgener (daughter of Coach Mike Burgener). This year, in addition to Sage, watch for our freind Nichole on the CrossFit Invictus Team.
Nichole came in 1st in the CrossFit Total and 3rd overall in the inaugural CrossFit Games back in 2007. Some of you may have met Nichole on one of her visits to our Gym, but many of you might not realize that you are here because of her…
She visited us a couple years ago before we were an affiliate and referred Dana to come in and check us out. Since then, Dana has brought in some of you and people Dana brought in have brought people in, etc…
 So, Thanks Nichole! We’ll be rooting you on from here!
WOD:
4 Rounds for time:
50 Meter Lunge, 45# bar (in back position)
25 Back Squats, 45#
50 Meter Overhead Walk, 45# bar

Nichole is HARDCORE! Intense and inspiring!
I remember when she first found PXT – we were trying to make it work at 24hr. fitness. People stared at us like we were crazy. I think she burst into tears once because she hated it there so badly – I couldn’t believe it was so close, right in downtown LO. I remember Nichole’s enthusiasm in saying this place is the real deal, this is where you want to be going, Cody is cool, layed-back, knows what he is doing and how to coach.
And yes, I keep preaching the Crossfit word, perhaps to the point of annoyance, but hey – I think my most recent victim, the FedEx lady (former body builder) from work might be coming in soon.
But really, Cody and Jen, thank you, thank you, and with much appreciation, thank you for your dedication, drive and passion. Leading us all in the way of Excellence!

Deadlift 3, 3, 3, 3: 416, 433, 453, 473 (PR for reps).
then scaled down version of yesterday’s WoD:
4x:
10 HSPU
15 Pull-ups
20 Knees to bows (can’t do more than one or two toes to bar at a time)
25 KB swings @ 1.5 pood
Time: 18:03!. Terrible! HSPUs and pull-ups were unbroken, but the knee to bows slowed me down considerably, and the swings were suprisingly slow too.

Ben- T2B are hard for you because you have to lift those massive-tree-trunk legs!
Seriously though- Really some great WOD’s lately. CF Games 2011!!!
