On My Signal...Unleash Hell! (part 1)

This video is from the East Coast Crossfit Challenge in Albany. It shows the 1000m row and 6 sumo deadlift high pulls into the 2nd round. Notice I was totally last off the row! LOL, the pace I went was planned, I just didn't realize everyone else, including the females, were going to pace faster then me! It didn't matter though, my plan worked, I placed 2nd in my heat and 8th in the overall hopper completing 4 full rnds. Rounds 2-4 will follow when the vids are edited.

I'd like to thank my brother Nate for filming, my dad and best friend Eric for some of the vocal support, and my sister Maggie for doing the dirty work behind scencs to get it edited quickly! Enjoy...

Jeremy,

You are a great competitor. You and I were in the same heat in the Hopper event last weekend and we ended up finishing 1 and 2.

That hopper workout has been haunting me! I keep telling myself I could have squeezed out a few more reps!

Hope to see you next year in Albany.
