Another FCF Baby!

Coach Sarah and Colin finally welcomed their baby into the world on Monday, sharing a birthday with Coach Andrew! From the new mama bear:

Colin and I welcomed our baby girl into the world last night!

Leta (pronounced lee-tah) Dean Bleckner was born at 9:34pm, 6 lbs 10.8oz and 19.25 inches long. She came out with her eyes open and pooping!

Labor was long and the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but pushing was a breeze 😉

Thank you all for your love and support 💕

We wish them much happiness with the growth of the family and hope to see them back in FCF soon!

Rowing CHELSEA

Colin

Today is all about rowing (after some still rings work) and making sure that you can move blazingly fast through the appropriate amount of rounds of CINDY (5 pullups, 10 pushups, 15 squats). Resume rowing as soon as possible. Can you recover on the rower? Can you push the pace and complete more than a 5k?
