I am very proud of our CrossFit Virtus Athlete, Hayley Smith, and former CFV strong girl, Greta Savion for competing in the Ragin Games this past Saturday. Greta finished 9th and Hayley finished 10th in their division. It was also great to cheer on a fellow CrossFit athlete, Randi Wimberly from CF 225. This was Randi’s first time competing as an RX athlete. Great job, ladies.

Rest Day – Pay attention to your body. If you are doing 5-6 WODs per week, REST. If not, come to the box and work on some mobility, hit a foam roller and some stretching in order to stay in the game.

Make-up Day – If you are a 3-4 WOD per week CFer, this is a great opportunity to hit a WOD you missed earlier in the week or from a previous post. This is also a great time to gain a leaderboard spot!

Goat Day – What is your weakness? This is your opportunity to hit those weak gymnastic areas (muscle-ups, handstands, pistols) or want to improve on a lifting technique. Again, use these weaknesses and create a short/intense WOD-not time based.
