Learning Outperformance

In my kids’ CF class this weekend I was talking to a Navy guy who’s been involved in the sport for 8 years and recalled the early days of CF. At the time he’d wondered why the Seals, Marines and first responders were so attracted to CrossFit. We had an interesting observation. Many were attracted to this sport not just to get fit, but to train themselves to even higher mental and physical demands than their every day work needed.
When the work then caught up with the pressure and uncertainty of CrossFit, they were be ready. True.
There are certainly days when the easiest item on my schedule is the WOD.
