Good times were had, Barbells for Boobs

The Benchmark BBQ was a good time for everyone!  We had a tremendous turnout for the random WOD, and a good portion of participants hung out after for some food and good times!  The WOD that was chosen the Inaugural Benchmark BBQ was Nancy!  5 rounds for time of 400m run and 15 overhead squats.  Afterwards many people were discussing their dislike of Nancy and overhead squats!  Everyone did a fantastic job, though!  Thanks for making the event a success!  I'm looking forward to the next one for sure!
