Congrats to Ashley!! Former Half-Marathoner, CrossFitting for just one month with minimal running and she PRs her 1 mile time – 8:29.

The 2011 CrossFit Open is here! Check it out at http://games.crossfit.com/

For the next 6 weeks I will be programming the CrossFit Open workout of the week on Friday (provided we have all the necessary equipment). For those that are interested in competing in the official competition please contact me asap so we can work the details. I know many of you are new to CrossFit may not be ready to join the competition, but taking on the CrossFit Open WODs and following along on the games website will be a great introduction to the worldwide CrossFit community. Not only will completing the Open WODs give you an appreciation for the top performers, but doing so should motivate you immensely…..you are following the same fitness methodology as the fittest people on the planet! Admire these freak athletes, but realize that can be YOU!

Hang Power Snatch from CrossFit BOLT on Vimeo.

The only difference in the hang power snatch and the power snatch is the start position. In the power snatch you begin the lift from the ground, not from the hang.
