2nd Quarter In Review

It's July, half of 2016 is gone.  We are marching forward attacking our goals, and setting new ones daily.  The 2nd quarter of 2016 was a busy one for the Bomber Crew.  From April through June you blasted through so many WODs, PRs, Burpees, and Events.  We've seen many new faces, and classes filling up.  We've also had to say good bye to so many of our military friends moving away as well.  

Your Bomber Coaches hosted a Nutrition Seminar in April.  Coach Adam and Coach Mona spent the majority of a Saturday explaining the finer points of nutrition.  They dove into the Zone and Paleo diets, explaining how to optimize your nutrition for athletic performance.  Their expertise gave many real life examples of how to make small lifestyle changes to move towards healthier eating, and improving your overall fitness.

 

Soon there after, Coach Dan showcased his law enforcement background holding weekly Self Defense classes.  For an hour each week Dan instructed the Bomber Crew how to defend themselves in many different situations.  He demonstrated various techniques from many different self defense disciplines -- mainly instructing in the principles of Krav Maga.  Dan helped instill confidence in any situation for many members of the Bomber Crew.

 

Then in May we expanded our class schedule, adding 5am and 4:30pm Monday through Friday.  These classes were immediately popular, filling up quickly.  The added classes were a result of bringing on and training new coaches to the Bomber Staff.  Coaches Mona, Megan, Amy, and Justin joined the Team and have been pushing the Crew to reach their goals.

 

Also in May Bombers CrossFit hosted two major events, Team RWB's 21 Guns Salute and the Memorial Day Murph.  Both events had large turnouts and had tremendous support.  The Team RWB 21 Guns Salute is a tribute to veterans held twice a year.  Bombers CrossFit was one of thousands of gyms around the country to host the event honoring those who've served our country.  Then a week later the Bomber Crew celebrated Memorial Day in the only way CrossFitters know how, with the "Murph".  Again the gym was packed and the Bomber Crew had the privilege of honoring those who've paid the ultimate price for our country.

Then as the coolness of Spring faded into the heat of Summer, contest season came into full swing.  The Bomber Crew sent a large contingent up to Columbus to volunteer at the CrossFit Games Central Regional.  We had members judge, work security, set-up equipment, and many go up and watch the action.  One of the highlights leading up to the Central Regional was our very own Erik Grant competing in the Masters Qualifier.  Erik did an outstanding job, showcasing his superior level of fitness finishing 53rd in the world, and just missing the cutoff for the CrossFit Games!  There were many other local competitions the Bomber Crew threw-down in, including The Route 33 BarBelle Throwdown, Self-Starter Invitational, DSC's WOD about a 5K, Guns & Ribbons Throwdown, The Tough Mudder, Project Lift Weightlifting Competition, and the Granite Games Qualifier, just to name a few.

 

Now onto the rest of Summer and into Fall.  The Bomber Crew has much more excitement on the horizon.  There are many contents and events still to come this summer and still many goals to achieve as well as PRs to set.  I'm truly excited to see what the Bomber Crew will accomplish in the months to come.
