Did you know we have a foreign exchange program at the Fort? It's true, I wouldn't lie. We traded Brittany to CrossFit Sioux Falls, for Garrett! We love traveling CrossFitters, especially ones who wear Vibrams.
The strength work yesterday was press 3-3-3-1-1-1. The bracelet of power was ROCKING at the Fort yesterday. Bethy set a new press PR, and so did Stephanie. Nice job girls!
After the strength work, the WOD was quite simply, row 2,000 meters for time. Bethy decided she wasn't done PR'ing for the day, so she set a new 2K row PR. Upon finishing her PR, Bill snapped the BEST post-rowing-PR picture I have ever seen. THIS picture lets me know Bethy gave it everything she had.
A few of us learned a hard lesson about the rower. Apparently some of our monitors are DEFECTIVE, and stop with only 1 meter left. No matter how hard you pull, it won't let you complete that last 1 meter BOO! Bill claims this is because I didn't finish the very last pull, and "coasted" though the last 8 meters, and the rower did it to punish me and teach me a lesson. I just think our monitors are broken. Psh.

That is one AWESOME picture!
That's the aftermath of a true PR - where any of us look...ummm...DEAD.
Nice work, Beth!
