Norcal CrossFit at the Brethren Throwdown!
Today I went down to Brethren CrossFit in Morgan Hill to cheer on our two NorCal CrossFit teams at the Brethren Throwdown! Taz, Pat, Hillary, and Garret were on one team, and Cheryl, Sally, Jaime, and Sal on the other team. Both teams did really, really great and were so inspirational to watch.
The Brethren Throwdown was an Rx-only, four-person team competition. The theme of the competition was: "Workouts that are not STRENGTH related are Weak" and they definitely lived up to it! There were three WODs and top four teams advanced onto WOD 4. The winner of WOD 4 got to take home the grand prize of $1000 cash.
