We are currently 3 days into the 2011 CrossFit Games Open and Mission CrossFit SA is representing!  Our guys and girls are doing great and we’re putting up a solid team score!  Our athletes have performed better and better when they do the workout and I can’t wait to see what our finals numbers are this week and the following 5 weeks! Make sure to congratulate those that are participating!

THE RESULTS ARE IN FOR THE 2011 PALEO CHALLENGE!  I know all of you have been asking what the final numbers are, who won what was the biggest change, well….It took some number crunching, 13 ball point pens and endless hours in front of the TV, but finally we have our winners….And the winners are…

1st Place Female

Amy Hicks (11 points)

2nd Place Female

Annie Clarke (14 Points)

3rd Place Female

Collanne Bramblett-West (17 Points)

1st Place Male

Stephen Takach (10 Points)

2nd Place Male

Chris West (16 Points)

3rd Place Male

Joe Walker (18 Points)

Congratulations to all of you who participated in the Paleo Challenge!  It was a huge success and it was amazing to see the changes that athletes made.  As a gym we had a combined weight loss of….217.2lbs!!! Remember, we had about 60 athletes start the program and we had 32 finish the entire challenge.  So, that means with only 32 athletes who finished, the 217.2lbs is between them.  That’s more than 6lbs per person and about 1lb per week! That is a huge accomplishment as an individual and a gym!  I’m so proud of each and every one of you.  Congratulations to all of you!
