What a great time at the park you guys!! Thanks so much for bringing good vibes, better food, a scale friendly attitude and hustle 🙂 Big thanks to Tom for major help with hauling, setting up, tearing down, hauling and replacing the rig, thanks to the various gents that helped take it down, Patrick (also for utensils!), John, Stephen, Nic, Keith (I’m forgetting someone I think!! Yeeesh), Annie (and her Tom) for tablecloths (class touch) and for getting the sign-up sheets all nice nice, ooh, and for the foil receptacle for the meats, Rahul (and fam) for bringing amazing chicken, Keinan and Chelsea for bringin Blue (my second favorite buddy)! But seriously, thanks for coming you guys, I like doing these events mostly because it feels right, what else you gonna do with all your friends but go do cool shit and eat tasty food afterwards?

CrossFit Games are coming up in end of July/August look forward to the noise that that brings to your social media (ha), but otherwise the only think coming down the pipeline is the 10k Row August 17th.

Post Script: the “hero” workouts as they are named are I think typically created and performed to “venerate the fallen.” Which I’m not opposed to doing, people dying/being killed before their time is a not good thing. I do think that there’s always the other side to any conflict that isn’t represented, that’s also not good. For now we’re going to continue to run workouts like “Jason” as a reminder of the folly of war itself. He was young, deployed, did what the military/government told him to do (not good things) and he himself got killed (not a good thing). It would be a wholly different world if none of these things happened. I’d prefer to focus on that message, rather than Jason (and far too many others like him) being a hero, but that it’s time to move past the imperial avarice and endless greed of nations, ending all wars forever.
