Can you feel it? Summer is starting to come to an end. Kids will be back in school soon and we will once again be readjusting to a new schedule. You’ve all heard me say it several times but please make sure to keep prioritizing your health and well-being. As they say, “you cannot pour from an empty cup”. If you need any help with motivation or maybe just a friendly ear to bend, please reach out to a coach. We’re here for you guys.
One other thing I’d like to mention is that the CrossFit Games have come to a close. We have crowned a new fittest man and woman on earth. I hope you were able to tune in for some of the action. If not, it’s worth going back and watching the videos. What these athletes were able to accomplish is truly amazing! So inspiring! Oh! Also, if that gets you craving even more action, then turn over to the Olympics! Some great stories there as well. Get behind these great athletes everyone!
Ok. On that note. Let’s stick to that grind. Here we go!!!
Here’s what’s left of our strength cycle:

Announcements:
Develop Within
That’s right all! Our internal competition is back! This year we will be holding Develop Within on October 2nd. It will be an individual competition with four divisions. Male/Female both Scaled and Rx. Block the date off in your calendars! You won’t want to miss this one!!!
There will be more details to come but for now just set the date aside. We will have a minimum participant requirement for each division in order to make this event happen. We will once again be accepting a cash only entry in order to keep this event as cheap as possible for all of you. No matter what level you are at there will be some way you can participate in this great event. We will be in need of athletes, competitors, and judges. This is a great time to push your limits and understand what you are truly capable of in the comfort of your own gym and with your CFD family.
