John “The Urbanator” Urbanski returns. Just like the Terminator, John comes back after his second collarbone surgery (each of the last two Rugby seasons, he has suffered a broken collarbone). He rehabbed at CFC last summer, and is back to rehab again. 5 rounds of 20 Sandbag box squats to box step ups, 10 GHD sit ups, and 20 double unders. 20:46! He is BACK!

Tanner, despite stifling heat, did the whole thing in a 20# vest (he came in later that night to work on his Oly lifts – he trains like a champion!). Also taking on the WOD was Larry, Sue P, Dave G, Nick, Amy and John F. Great effort — tough WOD on a tough day.

Posted by CrossFit Cheshire on June 22nd, 2010
“Better TV” was here today shooting a story about CrossFit and took footage of the afternoon “Chaos” class. Those who did not chicken out (or were just unaware that today was the day of the filming) were Mike H, Julia N, Frank G and Matt G. Yours truly sputtered and stuttered his way through the interview with Lauren Long, a beauty who trains at CrossFit New London, where a similar interview was done.

Another beautiful Saturday to be outside getting fitter, stronger, and faster! Double Chaos, as we made the 9am class AND the 10am class Chaos. The 9am class had a lot of barbell work in it (Bear complex, Snatch Grip Deadlifts, Push Press), while the 10am class had a mix of resistance bands, body weight exercises, and a run. The first group was Pete (who stayed for the 10am class too!), Cathy, Jen T, Frank, Julia and Joe, and the 10am class was Kate M (trying out the class), Rebecca, Kyle & Jeff, Andrea K, Jen L, Ashley, and Mike.
