2020 Winter Circus- Closed Out

Great job guys! You've made it to the end of the 2020 Winter Circus. We kept things under wraps for a while until around the fourth WOD a few folks began to start asking questions, "Is this what I think it is?" I wouldn't answer. After the second week, the jig is up, there's no obscuring the fact that YES, we are in the middle of the Winter Circus. If you follow this blog, and you should, you would have seen the clues posted leading up to the start of the Circus.

While most of you know about the Winter Circus, some do not. Originating in 2008 with three 'Hero' workouts in a row, it has grown to almost a full month of both 'Hero' and 'Girls' WODs back-to-back. The fact that we get through these workouts, finishing out weeks of hard WODs, is proof that we can do a lot more than we think we can, and that most of our limitations can be more mental than physical. This isn't a call for the abandonment of good judgment, not that we haven't thrown good judgment out the door once or twice, it's an examination of what we are capable of.

We still have two workouts to go. Both fun. Really. The Hopper and Interval Generator, where you control your destiny, and the famous 12 Days of Christmas. We'll take 12-24 and 12-25 off. CFSF wishes everyone a very Merry Christmas.

Sometimes a picture can say a thousand words. This is one of those times. Most of you have figured out that we are in the middle of the 2020 Winter Circus. It seemed only fitting that in a totally TARFU year we could have a little fun toward the end. We deserve it. If you follow this blog you've seen the clues that have led up to this point.

This year is a bit different than past Circuses. We have a blended schedule instead of Ladies Week, then Heroes Week. Nice change, and the WODs are getting along just fine. Michael and Angie have hooked up and they're looking for a good name for their son. Angie is pregnant. The offspring will be something else all together. We'll see him, and other WODs like him, in the future.

A few people have asked about the 12 Days of Christmas workout. It is scheduled for 12-23 and will be the last workout until after Christmas.

We have a few tough ones left. But they aren't as tough as we are. Fun will be had. Chin up- push on!

Thanks for your wicked strong efforts. That's good fuel that helps us all.
