I liked Crossfit, i just could not find a balance between that and ultrarunning, or any running for that fact.

Someone sent me this today, and even though I see a lot of benefit to crossfit, it is pretty funny:

I like what the group I've been meeting with the past 3 months has been doing -- its all outside (save those ice days we had a few weeks ago)  -- the guy who runs it was a triathalete and graduated from the Citadel --and we are typically training at the same time as the newbs /cadets and/or the football team.   We only do weights one day each week and those are dumbells for curls, presses, rows, tricep kick backs etc. --the rest of the week is a combination of push-ups,  pull ups, abs, legs  and running.  Usually 3-5 miles worth after an hour.    He'll use Tabata for workouts as well --and we'll do occasional straight-up track work too --e.g. 12 x 400 and in-between 25 crunches or something  --  Its been working for me and no gym needed (I know the weather here helps)

Apparently, Crossfit doesn't quite understand how these things work

Quote
"The fundamental, ineluctable fact is that a male competitor who has a sex reassignment procedure still has a genetic makeup that confers a physical and physiological advantage over women," according to the letter from CrossFit's lawyer sent in October.

"(Jonsson) doesn't have an advantage over other women. She's been on estrogen for such a long time," [Jonsson's attorney] said about his client.

Hormone replacement therapy for transgender women includes anti-androgen therapy, which nullifies the effects of testosterone to reduce the masculine features of the body. Therapies can also consist of the hormones, estrogen and progesterone to feminize the body.

I don't buy the idea that a few rounds of hormone therapy eliminates everything male about your physiology. It's hardly anti-trans to ask whether that's a gross oversimplification.

As you can see, Crossfitters are only a #6 seed in their region, behind:

1. Pit bull owners

2. Anti-vaccination nuts

3. Cat owners

4. New Jerseyans [they say "-ites" which is WRONG]

5. Cyclists

That is brilliant.

I posit that the average cross fitter ranks higher because they also bleed into the #13 category of Paloe Dieters  :D

Someone couldn't use a little Photoshop so that it doesn't look like she's pooping a Whiffle ball?

One of the local cross fit gyms is doing a free 3x/week class for high schoolers. My daughter started going last week and, though very sore, seems to be enjoying it. :)
