December 5, 2006TUESDAY 061205Pass!
A hearty congratulations to Shannon for passing the firefighter Candidate Physical Ability Test (CPAT) on December 1st (after just a couple months of training with CrossFit Eastside). Through a combination of consistent CrossFit classes, more focused CF-style personal training, and independent work (including climbing stairs with a 75-pound weight vest), Shannon set herself up to rock the event.

I LOVE seeing other women getting after it and gettin' some as a result of CrossFit. Nice work, Shannon. CrossFit Flagstaff is doing their best to train both men and women for strength applicable to their job in the fire service. It's great to see the results of other affiliates working with fire fighters across the country! I know Carrie and Michael have given you a great base for the rest of your training.
