We are excited to announce that we will be hosting the CrossFit Ventura Affiliate Team Challenge on Saturday, January 16th, from 8am to ??? The camaraderie and athletic accomplishments that we as a CrossFit community experienced during our last affiliate challenge were absolutely phenomenal. We are thrilled at the opportunity to make this event even better!
Affiliate teams will be made up of 4 athletes (2 men and 2 women). The day will include 3 team WODS (TBA the week prior) that will be scaled as needed. Click here for more details and to register your team for the event.
If you would like to compete for a place as one of the top 3 teams, you and your teammates must be able to complete all workouts as prescribed. But whether you are competing for a medal or just planning to come and have some fun working out with your fellow CrossFitters, it's going to be an amazing opportunity to experience the sport of fitness...team style!

Um, I need teammates and the Mitchells from my Elements class denied my only fun, good, worth while idea of forming "Team January 12th Elements '09". Anyone wanna take a silly cross fitter on their team? I won't eat much and I promise to try my best.
1.32.0 (Beat Luke) (I mean, PR), and... who the hell cares! I finally beat Luke at something! Hooray!!!

1:54.8(6), 1:55.4(7). 1:57.6 (5)
I'm glad I was fairly consistent on these, but totally bummed I missed my previous PR by 2 seconds.
I'm looking forward to the challenge in January!
