Sorry for the lack of posts - we had 3 teams in the crossfit jigsaw throwdown. Great job to everyone who competed and a huge thanks to Dal & the Crossfit Jigsaw team for putting on a great event.
Overall, pretty good results but lots of areas to work on.
Mulligan - 3rd place, womens. Crushed the cleans/box jump wod
Vanilla Guerilla - 6th place finish - mis-strategized the indoor wod but destroyed the others.
90/10 - 1st place, mens. Snuck in to the finale.

What did we learn?
1. Strength is much more important than metcons
2. Interval training is CRITICAL for partner/team comps
3. Need to do more pain threshold training before the open
