CrossFit Lewes

A little Sat vacation visit to CrossFit Lewes. Meredith Simmons seems to be the owner, coach, and sole grown-up that runs the whole show. She is very fit and a good mix of encouraging and a taskmaster. She opened up a few months ago and seems to be in need of members. On this Saturday, there were 2 locals, 3 visitors from Wilmington, DE Crossfit and me.

The space is a smallish, but clean and well organized. You can definately do all the WODs here. A nice spot on Rt 9/404 with good street access and a wide bike line for runs. She has wired speakers around the whole gym, which is a nice touch - not that I dont love the CFOT monster boombox. But she did forget her iPod, so today was tunes by DJ-MarkD. Who doesnt love Linkin Park / Jay-Z mashups?

Interestingly they share the building with the local ambulance EMS dept. I would think these guys would be all over CrossFit, but I see that from the shape of them, they are not.

The WOD and results are below. It was a good one. It had just rained, so it was a little cooler than the regular 90 and 75% humidity. Jeff and Carol from CF Wilmington beat me. Jeff is solid and he says he made it to day 2 in this years Mid Atlantic qual. Carol is a good runner and I could not catch up after the leads she gained on our total 1600 meters.

After the WOD we did a 250m (each) team row challenge with 3 per side and 3 rounds. Talk about a a cool down! Now I am ready to get back to vacation. CF again on Monday.
