I found a new Box while in Ottawa. CrossFit O-Town opened about 7 weeks ago. If you get to Ottawa, you gotta check this out. I met the owners, Jay Nera and Willie Albert. These guys are serious lifters, you can check out all the details on their webpage http://www.crossfitotown.com/, but a couple examples of their "raw" lifts; Willie has a 727lb dead, and Jay has a 716lb squat!
We started with Strength, Willie gave me some great instruction on my snatch, bloody shins and all.
Next, we moved on to Fran, I was pretty tired from the jet lag and time change, but it had been a long time since I last did Fran, so I was able to PR by a few seconds. 5:55. Alex, the guy in the black T in the picture below went 2:19! Can't wait to go back!
I started CrossFit in Oroville, CA in 2008. Since then, I have gotten my family and friends started. In January 2014, with some awesome partners, we opened Oroville Crossfit. Crossfit has made such an impact on our lives, it was time to share with our community. My career requires that I travel alot. I try to take advantage of the travel to visit as many CFs as I can. So far I have visited over 70 boxes. I started this blog to share a little about each box I am fortunate enough to visit.
