It's been an incredible three years watching Crossfit grow throughout the UVA and Charlottesville community. I for one know that it's been a thrill to watch as our ranks have grown, and it's been a fulfilling journey for everyone who's been involved to share, teach, and inspire each other. As was inevitable, a fully-fledged box has finally opened up in Charlottesville, and it's time for Crossfit in Charlottesville to take the next step.
Things will be getting much quieter here. Looking for some workout company/instruction/inspiration? Head over to Crossfit Charlottesville for all your exercise/health/life needs....
In the meanwhile, a few of my fondest moments:

The Boa...an interesting tool for training, but will people come back to it?

Another tool of the trade, retrieved at great effort, but to little use...
One of the earliest group workouts...crowded and
under-equipped, but ingenuity and creativity meant that
all involved were pushed as far as they could go.
An experiment in true randomization - with an unknown workout,
an unknown location, and an unknown time of day, how would one fare?
The result: three hungover individuals at 5am Saturday morning,
lugging a 120lb sack, doing burpees, and answering questions.

A first muscle-up. One among many records set and
broken at our last location, a facility that treated
us better than we could have expected or hoped.
Thank you to everyone who's been there along the way. It's been a privilege to train with each and every one of you.

Bin,
Thanks for the kind words and the send off. You guys have done a GREAT job culturing the CrossFit community in Charlottesville. I hope to see lots of you at the box!

Wow, lots of thoughts/emotions come to mind, but I'll try to keep my final comment brief.
Thanks to Bin, Forney, Ben, Chadron, Armando, Hargis, and all the other UVaXfit regulars. I got in to all of this after you all, and your support, advise, and coaching have made me a better athlete and person.
Another huge shout out and thank you to Bill at Rocky Top Rec. His support of our efforts and his openness to our training at his facility was a true blessing.
Finally, a tip of the hat to Kyle Redinger, Francesco DeParis, and the gang at CrossFit Charlottesville. Their initiative in making a true box a reality is remarkable. It's exciting to be starting this new chapter of functional fitness in Central Va with all of you.
And the final workout post from me... A Fran PR, quite appropriate I think.
