Hey everyone,

We are in a situation, where everyone who wants to be vaccinated against Covid, over the age of 16, can be.  As such, we really want to start getting some activities going again.

May 8th, we are going to host a technique symposium.  If there is a movement that you are struggling with, or wish to refine, hang out after the regular class (10am - noon) from noon - 2pm.  We will have as many trainers on hand as possible to work with you all. 

We missed the annual tag team championship FGB in January.  We are going to be bringing it back May 21st.  For those unfamiliar this is a 5 round version of: 

Fight Gone Bad

1 minute max Wall Balls (20/14#)
1 minute max Sumo Deadlift High Pull (75/55#)
1 minute Box Jump (20/18")
1 minute Push Press (75/55#)
1 minute Rowing for calories

If you bring a friend or family member who hasn't been a gym member for the last 6 months, the two of you can split up the workout however you want to.  If you don't bring someone, you do the whole thing by yourself.

Mid to late June we will be bringing back the Friday night BBQ's.

This summer we will be hosting a Saturday Competition.
I would like to call it something COVID related, but all I am coming up with is:

Competition
Overcoming
Viruses &
Infectious 
Disease

I think you all can do better than that.  Let me know your witty ideas.  There will be 3 workouts in 1 day.  We are currently thinking partners scaled for sexual equality, possibly scaling for masters or children as well, but it will depend on the workouts chosen.

I will keep you all posted as dates become relevant.

CrossFit Hero: Laura

Special Agent Laura Schwartzenberger, 43, was killed while executing a search warrant related to a violent crime against children. Schwartzenberger, who joined the FBI in 2005, was fatally shot by a suspected child pornographer on Feb. 2 in Sunrise, Florida.
Throughout her FBI career, Schwartzenberger supported a range of law enforcement activities, such as nabbing bank robbers, but her primary focus for the last seven years was pursuing those who perpetrated crimes against children.
A longtime CrossFit athlete, Schwartzenberger, along with her two sons, was a dedicated member of CrossFit Vice. Affiliate owners Justin and Michelle Brown said Schwartzenberger was the “epitome of what every box wants in an athlete: encouraging, hard working, coachable, and gritty.”
Schwartzenberger regularly attended Vice’s 5 a.m. classes, where she continuously inspired those around her.
“She never complained no matter how difficult the workout,” the Browns wrote in an email. “She simply showed up, got the work done, and lifted the energy of the class with her presence. Her smile could make the 5 a.m. class joyful and her laugh was infectious.”
Schwartzenberger is survived by her husband and two sons. She will be deeply missed by her CrossFit Vice community, her FBI colleagues, and many other friends and family members.

Sgt. Jonathan Stuart “Hollywood” Hollingsworth, 35, of Rotherham, Yorkshire, England, was killed on Nov. 23, 2006, during a mission in Basra, Iraq. At the time of his death, he was serving with the D Squadron, 22nd SAS Regiment, in the British Army. He received the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross and Queen’s Gallantry Medal for his bravery in the line of duty.
Hollingsworth was a fitness enthusiast and loved pushing himself past the “hurt locker,” according to his friends. His favorite activities included running, skydiving and rugby.
He is survived by his wife, Kate; and sons, Jake and Billy.
