Best tournament experience I’ve had in years. Lots of hard playing, but equal amounts of sportsmanship, mutual respect and gratitude amongst teams and players.
Out of 30+ teams, we came in third yet again 
. But we improved from our last performance. Our points total this time was 88, with 14 Gold, 14 Silver and 18 Bronze. Last time we had 76 points, with 10 Gold, 16 Silver and 14 Bronze. And only THREE team points away from 2nd place! Looks like my hair will stay the same. Next attempt, January 7th!
I think Ethan Cochran said it best, “Anyone who has seen Catherine Thornton Cochran or my post about Crossfit, the pictures that we have posted, or the results that we have gotten and have been been curious about Crossfit and wanted to try it out. Here is a good deal through our gym Capital Mma-Fitness on Groupon. Try out either 5 or 10 classes at a pretty reasonable price.”
Of course, you can easily insert other names of Capital peeps where it says, “Ethan Cochran” and “Catherine Thorton Cochran”, and it would still be true. Also, you could substitute other programs where it says, “CrossFit”.
