Irene’s Deadlift PR
April 30, 2008 | 1 Comment
Irene broke the 200 pound barrier with her deadlift last week. Nice job, Irene! A number of you spent time learning the split-jerk last week and I captured a good shot of Irene practicing that move too. I guess its Irene day on the blog.
Fran PRs and New Faces
April 24, 2008 | Leave a Comment
In the last 2 days many of our athletes did “Fran” and set new PRs. Jeff set a new gym record with a 4:08 time knocking Ralston from the top spot. I see a nice competition coming once Ralston is healed up from his victory at Battle Quest 8. Russell, pictured below, set a PR of 6:55 destroying his previous best of 10:28 set just two weeks ago. There were a number of other great improvements and I will get the record board updated this weekend.
Also we have a few new faces in classes this past month including Wayne and Shane pictured below.
Grand Opening

The grand opening and open house this past Saturday was a blast! Thanks to everyone who showed up. For those of you that missed it we did a kipping pull-up competition (winner Dennis Marshall with 45), 1k row competition (Mike Estlick at 3:30), a workout, and a BBQ. Door prizes included a month of classes, a private training session, a pair of Elite Rings, and a Enter The Kettlebell DVD.
We will announce more events like this soon. Don’t forget about our upcoming kettlebell seminars in Fort Collins this Saturday and in Denver May 10th.

Back From Level II

I survived and passed my Level II. It sounds like Jeff kept everyone working hard while I was gone. Coronado Island and San Diego are both beautiful even after a full day of reviewing the basic CrossFit moves by doing them each, over and over again. The photo is of the San Diego skyline from the dock down the street from CrossFit Coronado.
Q: What did the wife say to her CrossFitting husband in bed?
A: Oh, I didn’t know we were doing that for time too.
More CF jokes over at CrossFit Watertown.
Grand Opening Saturday the 19th
April 9, 2008 | 4 Comments
I have been slow to update the blog due to some traveling for CrossFit certifications during these first two weeks of being full-time at EmerFit. Things will be regular and improving again next week.
We will have a grand opening from 10:00-1:00 on Saturday the 19th. Door prizes, a workout, feats of strength, food, and more. I hope you can make it.
