Team RWB WODs and Updates: Team RWB members are doing a 6 mile Black Rock Forest run (around a 9:00 min/mile pace) Friday morning.  Meet at the gate on Round Pond Road if you are interested. 

Also, there will be a Triathlon Transition training on Saturday, 13 July, at Shea Stadium.  If you are interested, you need to RSVP as "going" on the Team RWB - West Point Facebook page so they can ensure they have enough bike rack space for everyone.  After discussing the transitions, they will do a mini triathlon that will include: start with a set of pushups to simulate the swim, T1, a 2 mile bike loop (including ODIA hill to work the legs), T2, then a 0.5-1 mile run around Shea.

If you are not familiar with Team RWB, look up the Team RWB - West Point chapter on Facebook.  I will continue to post all of their weekly workouts to our B&G site so you can try to join some other CrossFitters throughout the summer.

ANNOUNCEMENT (dated 8 JUN 13):  As Cadet Summer training continues, B&G programming will temporarily stop until the cadets return for the fall semester.  Due to the various summer detail schedules, we have been unable to run organized classes each day.  Additionally, based on the feedback from last Friday's post, not enough people are following the programming over the summer.  Please stay tuned for announcements and updates on the program as we prepare to welcome the cadets back mid-August!

If you are new to West Point and would like to join B&G or if you are Level 1 certified instructor and would like to help run the B&G program, please email me at blackandgoldcrossfit@gmail.com for more information.
