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

"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.

Maybe I missed it:
Was there a play-in game of French vs California wine snobs for a 16 seed?

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

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

CrossFit bleaches your poo.

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.
