Congratulations Foundry athletes on another successful week 3 of the Open. Union Station came alive with cheers, snatch PR’s, and even more amazing team themes!
Something we appreciate very much as coaches is that each week, we get to see each of you push beyond what you thought you were capable of. So many of you achieved your first C2B pullup, hit a new snatch PR or pushed much deeper into the workout than expected while your teammates screamed and cheered you on. It fires us up and we love witnessing that sh*t! So bring your A game to Printers Row tomorrow and let’s rock some HSPU in week 4!!
Week 3 Recap & Standings
Heading into week 3, the standings were very competitive. Team AMrap and Chill, under the leadership of co-captain and notorious BRO SAFARI member Tyler Hohs, came out strong with their “comic book / hero” theme. Meanwhile, teammate Ryan Crabtree went the distance into the 185# snatches. Team CS&FJ took us for a ride on their “safari” theme while co-captain Marisa Bast led all women and tied for 1st overall with 93 reps! Mutha’ Thrusters brought it again with their “cowboys” theme, complete with PJ in a donkey suit drinking cafe Columbiana and Kaitlin M smashing CTB pullups and squat snatches.
But the Open was also awash with controversy. After being assessed a 1pt penalty after #photobombgate, WODing Crashers was out for blood. In addition to their rockin’ superhero theme, fellow crashers were picketing and protesting the ruling.
