Crossfit: A new formula for pain and suffering

Maybe this is old hat for folks but I've been following Crossfit for the last couple of months. What is Crossfit you might ask? "CrossFit is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide" (crossfit.com).

So I've been around elite level sports for most of my life and I can honestly say that Crossfit has punished me more than anything I can remember. Today's workout was less than 6 minutes in duration and after I was left a worthless heap on the floor! Literally I couldn't stand up or move... Sound fun?

Its Winter now...

Funny--three days ago I was out riding on dry pavement on the fixie and I was actually too warm! Since then, here in Winthrop we've received about 8 inches of snow and VERY cold temperatures. Today I had my first ski on snow this season. I went up to Sun Mtn. and blasted around on my skate skis for a bit. It was -15F at my house this morning so needless to say, the temp. while skiing was brisk. Sure was nice to have clear skies and sun however.

This Fall has been one of the longest and nicest I can remember--meaning we've been very busy in the shop. One thing that still amazes me about the Methow is the activity level of folks.

Finally--time to re-invent and re-energize the MCS blog...

Phew, the last couple of years have been a blur. I realized that my last post was some time in 2006! My goal for this Winter is to get up to date and give folks a glimpse into Methow Cycle and Sport and the Methow Valley. BTW--you can find the Methow Cycle & Sport website at www.methowcyclesport.com
