Monday Motivation - This Saturday... Minute to Win It!
Congratulations to everyone who completed the last CrossFit Open workout 24.3! After three weeks of workouts, every team led one week of scoring. Team GOLD led the first week with thirteen (13) participants, Team RED led the second week with eighteen (18), and Team BLUE led the third week with eleven (11) participants. Someone with a watchful eye may notice that Team RED won week 2. My email from last incorrectly identified the wrong team as the winner. Team RED won last week.
Monday Motivation - Gratitude and Solutions

We listened to a couple of books. One of the books was "The No Complaining Rule" by Jon Gordon. There are two types of complaints: useless and useful.
