12/14/09 – Monday Squats

The CrossFit Hoboken Winter Challenge was this past Saturday.  Craig and Eddie put on a great event with three grueling workouts.  There were about 45 male competitors and 24 female competitors.  Over ten different affiliates were represented.  The two winners were Teresa Escobar of CrossFit Harlem (run by Syncere Martinez) and Tim Burke of Hybrid Athletics in Stamford, Ct (run by Rob Orlando).  Both competitors dominated the events and proved they were the fittest people at this competition.  I was fortunate to walk away with 2nd place overall.  Here is the list of the events.

Event 1 – 7 rounds for time

  • 5 Clean and Jerks (135/73)
  • 7 Burpees

It was a tough day, but a great event.  This is how I felt at the end.

  1. Thanks everyone! I really appreciate the support. I think in the New Year it would be fun to do a Saturday challenge where we do 2 or 3 workouts for CF 908 members. If anyone is up for that let me know, and we’ll put it together. It can be something where you invite friends who want to test their fitness.
