Event Report – Metro Dash Boston

by CFP coach James “Gym” Needham

Congratulations to everyone that “competed”  in the Metro Dash!

I say “competed” because I feel it was not much of a challenge for the team. The hardest part of the day was probably making the trip, and waiting for the event to start. I think some of the Team even went back to the box and completed the WOD “Filthy Fifty”! Congratulations are in order however, because the 11 that did the race are now members of the CrossFit Providence Race Team and will be receiving their official Race team Red shirt. The following is a breakdown of some of the Metro Dash results:
