Dear CrossFit, Three Months In A Box

Dear CrossFit,

Three months ago one of my friends started coming to the box.  This guy was already an athlete who was competing at a high level in his sport.  He got a great deal on a promotion and said “what the heck” and “I will commit to three months.”  Well…. three months are gone by and I got a chance to work out with my friend today in the Shed ‘o Pain.  To quote my nieces, “OMG!”.  This 140 pound athlete got a 325# deadlift today.  This was a BIG PR.  He also got his first two muscle ups today, after doing the CrossFit total.  Then he was able to coach me up a little on toes to bar.  (I still don’t have them, but he was able to explain how he does them.)  During the Open I got to see this friend do his first C&J, and a lot of other firsts, all of which were way out of his comfort zone.  And all this from three months in the box.  If you’re in doubt, talk to your friends who WOD, find a coach you can work with, and commit to three months in a box.  Sure it ain’t cheap, but neither is back-end health care that you need if you pass up this front end exercise.  Commit, then get ready to change.

Dear Friend, please remember to return my Kool-Aid pitcher.

I wonder what tomorrow’s WOD will be.
