I am not an athlete. I’ve never been a runner or played team sports. There was a time when I was an avid weightlifter and a mixed martial arts student. Due to injuries those days are long behind me. Recently I had been looking for something to challenge me the way fighting did but weightlifting never could. Something that even with my limited level of fitness I could participate in. I had heard several of the guys at work talk about doing Crossfit while in the service. I was intrigued by the idea of functional fitness that equates to real life. While on vacation in Las Vegas I made plans to train at Crossfit Las Vegas. Zach and Joe modified the WOD (workout of the day) for me to accomodate my injuries. Let me start by saying that I have never been so humbled in my life. This is the hardest workout I have ever done. I thought I was going to die, hell I wanted to die but I finished it. There are few things in my life that have made me prouder. Now I want to actually get good at Crossfit and join an affiliate in New York. By this time next year I plan to be kicking ass and taking names.
