Winter is coming...

181025

The 2018 Winter Circus is upon us. A little over a month to go until the festivities begin. We're going to get things started with a special Thanksgiving workout on November 20, just to give everyone a taste of what's to come.

LTC pulled a fast one with the 2017 Winter Circus that nobody caught on to until XO figured it out. No shenanigans this year. The 2018 Circus is completely fresh. All new WODs, except for the famous (infamous) 12 Days of Christmas workout which will be held Saturday, December 22, securing the Circus.

Industrious CrossFitters will know where to find all the necessary Circus information. It'll be there.

Standby.

OK guys, so we had a collective gasp when a 42,195 meter Marathon row popped up as the workout of the day. Most knew immediately that they would scale this monster down to relatively manageable distances. However, there is always someone who accepts the challenge and with resolution beyond measure gets it done.

John McCrelles is that person.

Starting with the 12:00 crew, he completed the Marathon row just before the 5:00 crew got going. Just under five hours of work. Some would call that insane, some would call it overkill. We call it motivation. We appreciate, and applaud it.

A Marathon row is right up there with any of the other crazy stuff we've done in the past: The Burpee Mile, or the Tire Flip 400, even the infamous BBB. Why do we do these? Because we can. A celebration of ability. Incredible fuel is gained from these fetes of strength and we all benefit from that.

So THANK YOU John. You are a Spartan, and you have motivated the entire gym. The DMBM kinda thing.

Our goal, as a gym, was to accumulate as many meters as possible over the course of the day. I'd say we smashed that goal. The total is impressive. 141,380 meters rowed. That's over 88 miles of love.

Thanks for your outstanding efforts and strong fuel today. That's good stuff.
