2013 Regionals Profile: Sean McArdle

Ask the average Crossfitter how long it’s been since their first WOD and you’d be impressed if they said they’ve been doing it for a few years.  Crossfit itself only started in the early 2000s, so it’s scary to contemplate the performance of an athlete who does Crossfit for the better part of a decade.  Enter Sean McArdle.  With over eight years of Crossfit experience as an athlete and coach, Sean has developed into an elite-level athlete, and will represent Crossfit NYC at the 2013 Crossfit Games Northeast Regional competition this weekend in Canton, MA.

In the meantime, we will be accepting members as they arrive for classes, we will not be penalizing non-cancellations, and we’ll be generally doing the best we can under the circumstances.

We appreciate your understanding, and hope that ZP can get their servers back up shortly.
