The word 'Circus' usually brings to mind a travelling troupe of entertainers, that may or may not include animals. A more informal definition of a Circus is a public scene of frenetic and noisily intrusive activity.

The CFSF idea of a Circus is more closely related to fetes of strength and endurance, and to a large degree, a general dismissal of good judgment. These acts cause one to question the motivation required to complete or just continue.

The 'Burpee Mile', the 'Tire Flip 400', and the infamous 'BBB' workouts all embody this definition.

In 2009 we did three 'Hero' workouts in a row and thought we were bad asses. From that humble beginning it has grown to one full month of both 'Girls' and 'Heroes' workouts back to back, now known as The Winter Circus.

The 2018 Winter Circus is almost over. Two 'Hero' workouts and then the grand finale' 12 Days of Christmas workout will close it out, so get your vote in.

Good job toughing it out, and thanks for your energy and enthusiasm. The Winter Circus proves one thing: We can do quite a bit more than we think we can when motivated to do so. What is the motivation? DMBM, and anything worth doing is worth overdoing are a few. Camaraderie is another, and perhaps the biggest motivator. We struggle together. We succeed together. That really is the cool part.
