Before we move on to 2013, let's take a look back at some of my favorite days and moments at Synapse this year. Post your own below, I know I've forgotten a bunch :)
10. Synapse knows how to party. From Grand Opening to Halloween, to any of the competitions where we have 20 spectators drinking mimosas in our tent, y'all know how to not take any of this too seriously. 9. The first muscle ups: Marie, Dan Hayes, Kai, Steve, Vitaliy, Ryan, Jose, Jun, Zander, the list goes on... the reactions were priceless, but more importantly, watching you guys work so hard on them for so long and then achieve them... ah shucks, I'm gonna tear up now. 8. Hearing someone say "I can't believe we got beat by team wearing mullets." 7. Michelle leaning on the wall and a random car at her first competition. CrossFit is really dramatic you know! 6. Bonnie's top finish in the muscle up workout at Games. It was really an honor to be her coach at the event and see her dominate, especially in this workout. I still can't believe how lucky we are to have an individual of Bonnie's caliber training at our gym. 5. The moment we beat Axiom CrossFit in the final workout at the Summer Shakedown, AT Axiom. That room got quiet. And we got 6th place. Exactly where we wanted to be so we didn't have to do the final workout. 3 wods is enough for one day, right? 4. Hearing the crowd chanting "Synapse" at regionals. I didn't even want to be competing at that point. I just wanted to be with the family. Every time we compete it's never about ourselves, it's about the gym, and representing, and the camaraderie. I love how much everyone loves being at Synapse. 3. Snatching 155 at Regionals. There really is no better feeling than PRing at a competition. I will remember this moment forever. At least until this year :) 2. Nick Flacco's entrance into the Halloween party. 1. The last WOD in the old gym, and looking at the empty place for the last time. First, y'all didn't know how much pain Jimmy could put you through with so little equipment. Secondly, that gym holds so many memories for me- good training, bad training, meeting most of yall for the first time...so many relationships, tears, costumes, achievements, defeats, and epic wods were formed in that gym. I am so thankful for all those moments, and all the people that contributed to them. Kinda makes you excited for the year to come, doesn't it? Thank you for making my job not a job and contributing to so many amazing moments in 2012. We love you guys!!! 14 MIN AMRAP 2 Hang Cleans 2 HSPU 2 OH Lunges *Add 2 reps each round

CONGRATULATIONS on snatching 155! I am still working on my goal of 1XBW Snatch (135#). My last best was at a competition and it was my same PR of 125#. Thank you for your inspiration!
