My First Time . . .

Comment by Richard Martens on January 30, 2009 at 2:54pm -- Russell and I had been doing Crossfit workouts in my garage gym on and off for about a year before CFB opened its doors. I walked into CFB the first day it opened thinking this basic "benchmark workout" would be a breeze, and maybe I'd even do a regular WOD after so I could really get in a good workout for the day.

At 6:36am on April 8, 2009, Carrie said…: O.K. Richard you have returned from your level 1 cert. and you have great pictures. When are you going to blog about it? Tell us what wods they had you do and how you performed? How do you think your CFB experience benefited you during the cert? Also, what are your thoughts on the Gun show?

At 6:20pm on April 2, 2009, Luan said…: im actually going to my second L1 this weekend in Milton, FL. Im going to watch the trainers and soak that in. Try to get a better idea of what theyre looking for. After that, my Barbell cert is in May and then i have L2 in July in Cali.

theres a 70% fail rate for L2. hahahahaha
but either way, i will be out there in Cali for 10 days and will test for L2 and go to the Games while im out there.

i will definitely keep you posted on everything.
I will let you know how L1 goes this weekend also!
