The day I hoped would never come!  Andrew's Farewell WOD!



Today we say goodbye to another one of our amazing coaches, Andrew.   Andrew is an amazing, humble, and super funny coach.  He is the coach that will root you on no matter what, and push you to the next level.  Andrew is the coach that screams at you "YOU CAN DO IT!" and the moment you hear it, you KNOW he is right, and you DO IT!  He has something special about him as a coach that inspires people, while still maintaining a funny and laid back style.  Andrew started crossfitting with CFKP WAY back when Coach Charlotte, CFKP's founder, started it here.  He has seen this program change and grow and been pivotal in making it what it is today; a fire-breathing group of people who care for each other and kick some major ass along the way.  Andrew will be moving to HAWAII and I know he will continue to inspire many more people there.  I think that out of anyone, Andrew, we will notice your absence most of all.  We will miss you so much, but I know everyone is very happy that you will finally get to live with your beautiful wife Sam in Hawaii.  In your honor we shall WOD!

Goodbye Maryann!!!!


Today is Maryann's going away WOD.  She is moving to D.C. on Wednesday to start the next stage of her husband's naval career.  Maryann started crossfitting with us almost 2 years ago, and has made some huge gains while working with us.  Maryann is a Do-er - one of those tenacious people who will finish a WOD and finish it well no matter what.  She never makes excuses, and always gives 100%.  I never have to tell her to push harder.  This mother of 3 boys comes to crossfit at 0530 in the morning...talk about dedication and consistency!!  Maryann - we will miss you so much!  The 0530 crew just WILL NEVER be the same without you!!  Good Luck in the States - maintain that consistency and keep kicking BUTT at crossfit!

"Murph"
For time:
1 mile Run
100 Pull-ups
200 Push-ups
300 Squats
1 mile Run
In memory of Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, N.Y., who was killed in Afghanistan June 28th, 2005.
This workout was one of Mike's favorites and he'd named it "Body Armor". It is referred to as "Murph" in honor of the focused warrior and great American who wanted nothing more in life than to serve this great country and the beautiful people who make it what it is.

Partition the pull-ups, push-ups, and squats as needed. Start and finish with a mile run. If you've got a twenty pound vest or body armor, wear it.
