Pre Qualifier WOD at CrossFit Hoboken
"Many people have been playing with the idea of gatheing up all the local competitors for the Regional Qualifiers and having a prequalifier WOD.  We are proud to announce that Saturday, May 2nd we will be holding such a workout. Actually it will be 2 workouts. The first will be at 9 am and the second at 12 pm. We are not limiting this to only Qualifier contestants. Anyone is welcome to attend.
The Price for Competing will be $20 per person. The same as our standard drop in rate. Hope to have a nice turnout. Sincerely, Craig Parcells.
You my register online in our schedule link."

Job Opportunity at CrossFit Staten Island
"My name is Vincent Amarino and I am a co-owner of the first and only CrossFit on Staten Island (CrossFitstatenisland.com) which I am very proud of. The reason for this email is unfortunate. Do to my career as a Police Officer and family commitments I can no longer grant the time necessary to maintain my end of the business. I operate the evening and my partner Donald operates the mornings. It would be a shame if Staten Islands only CrossFit would be lost.We also demand to keep the authenticity of our CrossFit with certified CrossFit trainers as well. I will be willing to negotiate a deal for my half of the business or accept qualified trainers willing to teach classes in the evening. If anyone can give me any advice on this matter or know of any trainers interested in this beautiful facility, it would be appreciated greatly.

Todays WOD is a modified version of a CF Football WOD.  Athletes may choose to substitute Double Unders, Box Jumps or Lateral Jumps over a barrier for Burpees.  If 225 is too much for you to Deadlift, divide your 1RM by 1.4 to scale.
