Foundry Open Team Week 2 Recap

Foundry Fam,

Congratulations, athletes, and awesome job in week 2!  Once again, the energy and enthusiasm were through the roof—this time at Printers Row and with a workout that required a good amount of space, a lot of heats and a little patience! We saw many of you exceed what you thought you were capable of—and some PRs to go along with the extra effort.  It was an inspiring evening at The Foundry!  Another big thank you to Body Gears Physical Therapy, who provided assessments, treatment, and taping to all our athletes.  Body Gears will be back again for week 3 at Union Station!

Week 2 Recap & Standings

After WODing Crashers dominated the Spirit award in week 1, it was clear that all the teams were determined to bring their A game in week 2.  In fact, all four teams had 16 team members present at FNL!

Team A Couple Snatches and a Few Jerks came out strong in Army fatigues, complete with dog tags, wristbands, and some AK-47 ammo from Coach Adrian.  Team WODing crashers had another strong performance with their Martis Gras theme, and has been a force on social media before the sun rises! Team AMrap and Chill’s colors of the rainbow theme was subtle at first–true to their style–but it all made sense once they assembled for their team photo.  In addition, Team Ar+C scored big with their “chill zone”, complete with beer koozies and hanging out in the NE corner of the gym.  But it was Team Mutha’ Thrusters who captured top spirit points with their “life’s a beach” theme, complete with team members in bikinis and Coach Jeremy doing the workout in sunglasses.

AMrap and Chill and WODing Crashers were tied for second, before it was alleged that they “Crashed” another team’s photo op.  After an official review of the photos in question, the yellow flag was thrown and WC were assessed a 1pt penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct.  There was an unidentified crasher in the photo and in a shocking twist of events, digital enhancement showed Coach Jeff involved in the crashing!!  See the evidence for yourself:

Once again, team Motha’ Thrusters came on strong at the end of the week, getting over 60% of their team together for a team outing at Jimmy Green’s!  They are your leaders after week two with 109pts.  WODing Crashers and AMrap & Chill are neck and neck for second place with 79pts (AMrap) and 78pts (WOD), followed by CS&FJ with 62pts.  To see the complete scoring, check out the live scoring sheet.
