And we’re off! 🔥 This team showed perseverance as they completed a 🦵 5 RM back squat, followed by a 20-minute Functional Threshold Power (FTP) test on the 🚲 Echo bike. The FTP test includes a 26-minutre pre-fatigue stage, so in total they spent 46 minutes on the Echo bike. The 5 RM back squat was a new addition this time around and has been included to better measure an increase in strength. Think you could do it❓
Thanks to Gloria’s cheering in session 1 and Al’s dance moves in session 2, the teams were able to push through with a few 😃 smiles.
Chris took photos of each person so that I can proudly display their photos on the gym wall along with a goal or two for the program. This will help keep them accountable and feel proud of their accomplishments across the next six weeks. If you see them in the gym, give them an encouraging message or check-in to help keep them going.
Next week – 😈 deadlifts and barbell lunges.
Did you miss out this time around? Don’t worry, I’m looking to do this program again in the spring of 2024.

💪 We competed at an in-house CrossFit competition the day after our the Deerhurst Enduro. We were tired, we were sore, our bodies were not entirely ready, but we did it any way. We were committed and I'm so glad we did it.
There were so many personal bests achieved. Members lifting weight they didn't think they could, people doing bar muscle-ups for the first time. So much love, passion and encouragement across a six hour span.
Chris and I were partners and Immy's partner was a super cool dude, Trevor.
Chris and I missed third place by four pts., which is pretty good considering he had shoulder surgery ten months ago from wear and tear and a biking accident to top it off.
We competed together last year in Battle of the Boxes and then Chris went for shoulder surgery right after.
Here we are, coming around full circle - although Chris is not 100% healed, he is almost there.
It's through events like the bike races and CrossFit competitions that I realize how important community is. It's important to surround yourself with the right people. Like-minded people who understand that in order for us to grow, we need to put ourselves through hard things. Life is not easy - you need to train for it.
If you can get yourself through physically and mentally challenging workouts, you're better preparing yourself for challenging events in your life.
Growth doesn't come from being comfortable. You need to put yourself out there, get out of your comfort zone.
Endure. Learn. Repeat. 💥

The Jenny Shreds race team had a great time at the Deerhurst Enduro today. Thank you for a challenging, but fun and rewarding event.
This race consisted of four timed stages. Every rider completed each stage twice.
You can find the race route on Trailforks:
https://www.trailforks.com/route/deerhurst-enduro-2023/
This was the first race hosted here. The trails were fresh and loamy. A big thank you to our hosts, Huntsville Mountain Bike Association, all volunteers and trail builders. It's easy to see the amount of care, thought, effort and hard work put into the trail design and build.
We're looking forward to participating in a more involved way next year.
