The 3rd annual
Crossfit Rochester Games were a blast, as usual. Since the gym is in a new location [from last summer], we were able to have the entire event outside. Luckily, the weather was gorgeous! Next year, we're hoping to have some Rochester-area athletes qualify for the
actual Crossfit Games in California. (The CFR games are usually a fundraiser, but no one from this area qualified for the Games this year.) Another hope that I have for next year is that more women enter the Rx division! With at least as many women as men (at our gym, anyway) there's no reason that there should be four times as many men entered in the Rx class than women. Don't be scurred to step up in divisions, ladies!! It feels good to go heavy, even if you finish farther down the results list!
Ted Gough took some amazing pictures, as usual, and I've shared some below.

| The first workout was an AMRAP of 10 ground-to-overhead with weight increasing each round, 10 chest-to-bar pull-ups, and a trail sprint that took somewhere around 60-90 seconds. Here I am coming off the trail run and heading to the pull-ups |

| Chest-to-bar pull-ups are my favorite! |
