More snow this morning. Winter is really holding on this year. 18 degrees on my way to Crossfit at 6AM.

Ron K, David, Terry H. (who is leaving for Florida today for 2 weeks), Tomas and Ron D with Brian and Jerry coaching.

I was really glad to see Ron D. show up because today is the start of our 30 day Weight/Body Fat loss challenge and I would have hated to have to go and track him down. More about that latter.

The WOD was really hard for me because of all the squatting with the lifts. That really takes everything out of me. I think I actually got a few done with really good form toward the end of the workout. Brian and Jerry were on everyone for form this morning. These movements are not easy to do 100% correctly every single time. It seemed like everyone was having trouble this morning. Maybe it was because it was a Monday.
