Push Jerk

Maria's right arm was so sore, she was stuck in this flexed thumbs up position.  It could have been worse.  Her right arm was so sore after pull ups.  Good thing she stopped doing bicep curls at globo-gyms!

WOD:

Push Jerk 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps

Rest Day

Johannes and Joe had fun with beer and barbells at CrossFit Oakland.  Johannes visits us from Cologne, Germany. 

"It's my very first visit in the United States, and although I just spent a few days with the CrossFit Silicon Valley Team I already feel like a part of it. They welcomed me so warmly and friendly, and the workouts we do just kick ass. My time at CrossFit Silicon Valley will remain as an unforgettable experience. Thanks to Judd, Joe, Matt and the whole team.  Awesome!!!"

CFO Team Three-11:21

CFO Team Two-11:30

CF Silicon Valley Team Two-11:57

CF Silicon Valley Team Three-17:00

Out of the 20+ teams that participated, we fared quite well.  Only 41 Seconds separate us from top rank!  Truly every second counts.  A big thank you to CrossFit Oakland for hosting such a grand sporting event.  We look forward to more "Sport of Fitness" events as the year progresses.  Events like these help bring the best out of each who participates.  The thrill of competition, and the pressure to perform our best builds tremendous mental fortitude. We learn more about ourselves and how to better handle stress. CrossFit Silicon Valley can only get better and better as we grow together and suffer through the WODs together.

We will continue to practice and train hard to raise our game, lessen the chances of injury and to perform our very best not only with CrossFit but with the rigors of life.

Remember, we will host the next NORCAL TEAM COMPETITION on Saturday, March 7 @ 12PM. 

We will announce the team breakdown soon.
