Team Im so very proud of the effort that everyone gave this week in the burpee wod.  Some people surprised everyone and some just themselves, but it was awesome.
Classic example, Ken Meharg and Alex Baldwin for contributing to North Teams scores.  Neither of them thought they would be contributing.  They were doing it for fun.  And they both DID help our North team this week.  We would be lower in the standings if they wernt part of our little team.  Thanks Guys!!
We have created a slight uphill battle for ourselves this year :)  By splitting our AWESOME gym into two groups, it will be a bit harder to advance.  But I know with the incredible efforts I saw this week, it is completely doable.  Remember teams, EVERY POINT COUNTS.  Big time.

Cant wait to see whats next!  And REMEMBER!!!!!!ITS FOR FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Box Off

Team,

Wanted to give a special thanks to ALL who came out to the 413 Box Off this weekend.  We had a great turnout and a greater time.  To me and the trainers, the Box Off was everything we wanted it to me.  Super fun with friendly competition with new and old friends alike.

Its the people that make a thing like 540 work and you guys make it work SO WELL!!!!

Super special thanks to the volunteers who helped make the weekend work.  Setting up, and the constant changing of bars and weights for the many different wods.  You really were the unsung heros.  If not for all of your diligence and hard work, Sat's event would never have been possible.  Thanks again for giving up all your weekend time to help us out!

Team we will be posting the scores tomorrow.
