CrossFit Santa Cruz has no mirrors. Why?

To avoid stating the obvious, and to leave the snide
jokes about tricep extension and curls alone, there are
reasons not to have mirrors. When performing functional
movements at high intensity, an athlete must feel the
proper position. Movements that have high skill and
demand extreme speed can not be learned while
looking in a mirror.

Can you snatch with your eyes closed?

Here is a video of Angel's last workout.

hey guys! wow, i miss santa cruz and everyone SO much. i'm at the library using the internet until we get it hooked up at our apartment so i didn't get to watch the video of my last workout. i'm sure it is full of my freakish faces and tears. i'm both excited and tentative to watch it. bittersweet for sure. there are no words to describe how thankful i am for crossfit and everyone i've met through it. my heart is blessed and full. thank you everyone. well, i need to run some errands and figure out what kind of workout i'm going to do today. maybe i'll do some version of "angel". it sounds wicked hard in the best of ways. again, thank you. until next time...
