Cynergy Affiliate team announced!
By Keith | April 28, 2010
Congratulations to Cindy Brown, Suzi Llewellyn, Kristen Gaynor, Marc Vigneau, Mike Rooney and Chris Regan for the success they had at the affiliate try outs over the past 2 week ends. They will represent Cynergy May 21-23 in Albany at the Regional Team Challenges.
The tryouts consisted of 6 pass or fail skills challenges: Overhead squats, pull ups, pistols, running, rope climbs and muscle ups, along with 2 WODS which tested both strength and met con. WOD 1 was a 10 minute work out with a 2000 meter row with the remainder of the time sumo dead lift high pulls. For every high pull that you accomplished you were able to take 3 seconds of your time. WOD 2 was a gasser:
50 double unders
40 box jumps
30 wall balls
20 burpees
10 pull ups chest to bar
5 hand stands
10 pull ups chest to bar
20 burpees
30 wall balls

Hats off to everyone that competed their hearts out during the past 2 weeks! Everyone did a fantastic job and really laid it all out there for everyone to see. There were some huge successes and some pretty great surprises too! And that is what it is all about. The excitement is about being the person in the ring!

Congrats to all of you!
I second Keith’s sentiment about the accomplishments that showed up during the try outs. It pushed many of you to levels you had never achieved before and for that you are all winners. NEVER let the thoughts of doubt stop you from trying something you have never done before. Surprise yourself….you are stronger than you think!
I am proud of you for coming and giving it your all!
We have a BAD-ASS Team and I am thrilled to be heading to Albany with all of you!!
Train Hard teammates!

I was fortunate enough to be there for both days of the Team tryouts. Cynergy CrossFit has a TEAM that we should all be proud to have represent us in Albany. All 16 of these amazing athletes demonstrated what we all strive for each and every day at the Box.Jen Tully’s gutsy performance on the OH Squats, Jilly Mac conquering that rope climb, Rooney’s 30 consecutive pullups that looked like he could have banged out 30 more, Holly Cruise and Mark Haskell showing that “never quit” attitude on the handstand pushups on that Horrific looking final WOD, Gaynor “PR”ing her consecutive pullups, and my personal favorite, Lil P..Payton Brown showing us all how its done on that final WOD, she is definitely a Brown! You all showed what you are made of by signing up, showing up and not giving up! Well done to you ALL!
