Girls Day this Saturday was a blast! I stayed around and helped out a bit with the workout – a CrossFit Total. Des, Audrey, and Sarah shared their stories with starting CrossFit and especially lifting weights. If someone tells you again that girls will bulk up if they lift weights, they are lying to you. Plain and simple.

Des, Audrey, and Sarah all achieved new PRs in their backsquat! Audrey is a PDX firefighter and her goal has been to backsquat her bodyweight of 175 for a while now. On her last lift on Saturday, she dug deep, got primal with it, and lifted it. Awesome Audrey!

Audrey also shared her CrossFit story and it is part one of our CrossFit stories series. Click on the picture below to hear it.

Nice job Audrey! Fantastic story as well. Let’s get a picture of you up on the website while you’re overhead squatting your deflated raft.

Thanks, ladies, for such a wonderful CrossFit experience at Girls day! Each and every one of you inspired, motivated and rejuvenated me. THANK YOU ps. It’s fun to watch the “tribute” video again, and seeing some familiar faces.
