As if we did not have enought Crossfit for a Saturday, most of us who did “Steve” this morning took a drive up to Valley Crossfit, which is run and hosted today by Michael Latch. 

We had a great introduction to kettlbelsand clubbells. Brent set a couple of PR’s in the KBs and jumped a 42″ plyo box. steve joined in the fun with a 36″ jump. There was a lot of great instruction including a demonstration in some amazing rope jumpng. 

As I have come to expect with Crossfit, we also met some really good people. Make sure you check out the photo album.
