WNY Hammerhead CrossFit Challenge Series Round 1
This weekend (1/14/2012) CrossFit Rochester hosted the first in three CrossFit challenges in the WNY area (Buffalo and DeWitt are the other two future challenge sites). CrossFit 585 athletes should be proud of their performances this weekend, because we, your trainers, are! You saw the challenge and stepped out of the “safe” team mode and jumped into the individual events and performed like champs. Adam Cristantello, tied for 5th place in the Division 1 bracket and Ariel Kirk came in 4th place in the Division 2 bracket. Great sperformances in Division 1 by Matt Gough, Andrew Trout, Matt Parina, Frankie C, Meg Kelly, and Jess Hayden. Ariel Kirk, Amanda Kessler, and Dan Trout rocked the Division 2 workout!
Now a quick public services announcement to ALL of our athletes: Regardless of how you placed in competition OR how well you completed a work out at the gym, your performances shed some light on what types of goals you may want to set for yourself for the future. We’re going to ask you to really think about why you train. What are your goals? What do you want to achieve with your fitness this year? Try setting some goals and take some risks, there’s bound to be failures and falls along the way, but with those trip ups we usually find success; and isn’t it so SWEET when you actually achieve that first pull up or shaved time? Remember we are always here to help; and LOVE when you challenge yourselves! Set some goals, increase the ante, get in the game! We hope that 2012 sees many shattered goals for 585ers and the feats that were once thought impossible become POSSIBLE!
Congratulations to all of the folks who took the risk and competed…. it can be intimidating and sometimes a little scary, you conquered your fears, now do it again in Buffalo!
