A very close friend of mine is competing in the Virginia/DC/WV CrossFit Games Sectional this weekend. We served together when I was in the Navy and still keep in contact regularly. We’ve been through a lot all over the world.
Skyler Thomas, from coaching staff of Compound CrossFit in Chesapeake, Virginia.
About 8 months ago he finally gave in and said he would test out this “CrossFit” stuff, and made a deal with me he would abandon his traditional weightlifting and and running routine and give CrossFit a try for 30 days. I believe he thought he would do it for the month, and then fall back into what he was doing before. Needless to say about 2 1/2 weeks into it he told me he was an idiot for not starting earlier, and has been hitting it hard ever since.
After Day 1 of his sectional he is sitting at 56th place(out of close to 200 CrossFitter’s), and I’d say that’s pretty amazing for someone who has been doing it for less than a year!
