"Shine your shoes, Sir?"

Tomorrow is going to be a blast (just like every other Sunday has been)...actually every day has been amazing around here.  Before you all go scrolling through the WODs and the scores to find your glorious victories I wanted to make a few notes about what's been going on around here to keep you all up to date and informed.  

Today was insane, just like usual and if you look over the scores for some of these WODs (which are completely brutal, and getting harder by the day) you will see some amazing performances spanning the ranks of veteran firebreathers right down to our crew of CFNH Acolytes dedicated to a devout mastery of the 9 fundamentals.

The atmosphere in this little garage mixed up with the personal drive each of the athletes here exudes makes for some serious gains and I couldn't have dreamed the adaptation curve would be so steep when we were just breaking ground. I just wanted to make note of how great it is to be surrounded daily by such a great family of nutcases and sociopaths, I'm looking forward to opening up the Stable tomorrow so all our Dark Horses can congregate for some insane training...we're chomping at the bit to see which PR's and WODs get crushed next.

We have some great news to pass along and I want to congratulate Melissa Byers for getting approved and opening her CrossFit Affiliate up in Tilton NH: CrossFit 603.  She is planning a field trip for her minions to come down sometime soon and visit us for so much metabolic slaughter that the streets of Manchester can expect to be littered with the fallen forms of CrossFitters.  I added the link to CrossFit 603 over to the right, just below the Byers Gets Diesel Link, check it out and throw her some props.  We are indepted to Melissa for all the help she has given us since this vision called CrossFit New Hampshire took shape, and repaying this great community is always something we take pride in doing as often as possible.  Congratulations Melissa, now "Byers can get others diesel".

The scores and WODs below are awesome, and the picture associated  should help tell each tale of strife.  I think it's about time to add a section to our site for us to start stockpiling all the CrossFit NH WODs we spit out for our athletes, the demand for them by email has started to increase exponentially.  I will see if I can't get something up soon so you can all peruse them easily when you need to throw yourself a curve ball or work on some fundamentals.  

Now go celebrate with your eyes and eat up the training results below.

Scores
Mike 15:36*
This score is insane for anyone, and really shows how much improvement Mike has made in his fitness levels over the last month or so.  His potential has barely been realized and he's scoring elite times on WODs, enough said.
