Summer Challenge at CrossFit Houston

Category: WOD'sRob @ 8:30 am

CrossFit Houston hosted the Summer Challenge yesterday. Thanks to the CFH staff, judges and volunteers for putting together a rigorous test and great event. Congratulations to all the athletes that braved the heat and the WOD’s.

Special thanks to CF West Houston athletes Daniel Brewster and Kimberly Varhaug for coming out to support Sandra and I as we competed. I competed in the Men’s Standard division and was sadly substandard yesterday by not completing the first WOD in the time limit.

6 Week Fran Challenge Results

Category: WOD'sRob @ 12:05 pm

Below is a table of the results from the Fran Challenge.  Eleven people participated in both the before and after challenge. A couple of notes regarding a few of the athletes below. Kaci did Fran, the saturday before coming to CrossFit West Houston. It was performed at CrossFit Cen Tex in Belton TX. Kimberly performed a very scaled Fran of 3×10 of 10 DB thrusters and Ring Rows, which happened to be her first CrossFit Workout. For Kimberly, we kept the load the same however used the 21-15-9 rep scheme for the second Fran. She did more work in +3 seconds. Everybody improved their times.

The goal was to keep the conditions the same to see the improvement. Everybody showed awesome improvement! Great job!
