17.5 and Intramural Team Updates!

LAST FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS OF THE OPEN!

We can’t believe we’re rounding the corner to the end of the Open! The first four weeks have been nothing short of amazing and we are so excited to see what 17.5 brings.

We have lots of exciting things in the works following the Open, so while we are excited for it to end, we’re thrilled for what’s to come.

INTRAMURAL TEAM WINNERS!

This is getting ridiculous people, but the hands-down 17.4 winners this week are…

“Covies Never Say Die”

Mighty Murphin Power Lifters – 26 pts total

Covies Never Say Die – 56 pts total

Rusty Thrusters – 19 pts total

#RespectYourElders – 30 pts total

Here’s is the breakdown for each category measured:

PARTICIPATION POINTS: 25 TOTAL POSSIBLE POINTS PER TEAM

Mighty Murphin’ Power Lifters: 20 pts

Covies Never Say Die: 20 pts

Rusty Thrusters: 21 pts

#RespectYourElders: 19 pts

5 POINTS BEST TEAM SELFIE: Covies Never Say Die

Two great submissions from “Covies Never Say Die” this week. One, for it’s artistic composition, the other for the ridiculous factor. AND the fact that Angie wore that thing DURING her workout. THAT’S commitment.

5 POINTS BEST THEMED BEVERAGE: # RespectYourElders

Equipped with a variety of jello shots and a full jello fruit mold, the old people got everyone ready for life in the home. JELLO FOR EVERYONE!

5 POINTS BEST THEMED FOOD ITEM: Covies Never Say Die

Yum.

5 POINTS BEST SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE: Covies Never Say Die

This is getting exhausting. BUT, it was nice to see that Chelsea had some help from her teammates. Memes all around for that team!

5 POINTS BEST SPIRIT OF THE OPEN: #Respect Your Elders

Yes, the Open is about working hard, but it’s also about the fun factor. This guy comes in at 5:30am, does the workout, drinks a beer, comes back for Friday night lights and leads an EMOM at midnight. A CAKE EATING EMOM. Yes, every minute on the minute you eat a piece of cake (last week he led us in brownies). Mike’s not even officially registered for the Open but did every WOD and clearly is an MVP of Friday Night Lights. Oh, and he’s old, so #RespectYourElders drafted him.

5 POINTS MOST INSPRING PERFORMANCE BY AN INDIVIDUAL:

Covies Never Say Die

Robyn Z. destroyed this workout! She went scaled on Friday night and was the only person to get through all 55 reps of every movement AND get back to the deadlifts. AMAZING! Then, after talking to her coaches, gave the RX version a try on Sunday and crushed that too! She was one of the few women who made it off the rower to get to the wall for handstand push ups! So inspiring!
