This was by far the most competitive and most fun I have ever had in a team comp... we finished 9th Overall. Lee Pappas and crew down at Brethren CrossFit put on a first class event. Highlight of the day was our 5th place finish in WOD 3 where Sarah knocked out a ton of Muscle ups including 3 consecutive reps!!! Way to go Sarah, Amy and Julian. That was a blast!
