Kermit and Dan Come Back!

Our friendly visitors from Vancouver came back today! Not just any visitors, but what we have here are CrossFit Coaches from CrossFit East Vancouver, and they are also CrossFit Games Athletes!!! What a treat! These guys are super fun to WOD with, and even helped me fine tune my Kipping Muscle Ups! SWEET DEAL! I'm trying to get them to guest coach a class.....YES!

We perfomed "Hidalgo" today, and I think I can pretty much say it kicked everyones booty. It was pretty awesome. Take a look.

Right: Me and Kermit! It's been super fun to have a gal that's got similar body type and perfomance on wods. So grateful!

U.S. Army First Lieutenant Daren M. Hidalgo, 24, of Waukesha, Wisconsin, assigned to 3rd Squadron, 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment, based in Vilseck, Germany, died on February 20, 2011, in Kandahar province, Afghanistan, from wounds suffered when insurgents attacked his unit with an improvised explosive device. Two weeks prior to his death, he was hit by an earlier improvised explosive device. Despite his injuries, he stayed in country and on patrols rather than return home. He is survived by his father Jorge, mother Andrea, brothers Miles and Jared, and sister Carmen.
