We have seen some interesting things done backwards in the past, 'Backwoods Cindy', 'Narf', and a few other nameless pieces, but we have never done 'Griff' until now. Running backwards elicits several things, among which are stares of disbelief by drivers of and passengers in cars and passer byes...

This was one of the most fun CF sessions I think we've seen, maybe ever. We had some really fast runs, Dan, Joey, John- good job guys. How about those calves? Quads? Anybody feelin' the love? Running backward is definitely interesting. Changes things quite a bit. Pretty cool, actually.
CrossFit is about triumph in the face of adversity, rigid flexibilty and all, but we had traffic for the first time. Everywhere! 14th and 15th Street, and the alley... Of all the times to be out running backward, this really wasn't a good one. Thanks for the recon Beth, great info that kept the red juice where it needs to stay. Also thanks Joey, and Dan for guiding the stragglers in, of which I was one.
This session is named in honor of USAF Travis Griffin, who was killed in Iraq in 2008.
Thanks for another great day at CFSF. Friday is a rest day, not an off day. Hit the bonus. Rest, stretch that tight PC, and be ready for Saturday.

It pays to be a winner.
