For those of you who are game to make the journey up to Albany to see the badassitude of the CrossFit Northeast Regionals, the address is:
Albany Crossfit
444 Sand Creek Road
Albany, NY 12205
A word to the wise – the location is a little weird. If you’ve got a GPS, trust it. Coming from Connecticut, it’ll pop you into what looks like an access road for a shopping mall (because it is an access road for a shopping mall). Don’t fret. Follow it around back; you’ll see a bunch of cars that are rather conspicuously parked away from the main parking area; that’s where you want to be. Follow the hoots and hollers and / or the trail of blood, sweat and tears to observe the awesomeness.
Special shout out and best of luck to our sister-in-law Kim and to Caleb (no relation), both from CrossFit Persevere. We’ll be pulling / coaching / yelling for you turkeys tomorrow. We’ll also be cheering on other assorted friends, including James Hobart, although it’s not like Hobart needs any help – that kid is nuts.
WOD:
Four rounds for time of:
Run 400 meters
