"Just have fun and don't finish last." Those were wise words once told to me by one of my very first coaches, and I soon found myself to be telling myself the same thing.

Competitions aren't solely about competing against others. It's a test of will, a test of your own personal resolve. A drive to be "better" and the encompassing journey. It's about cheering on others more fit than you - and those less fit to you, because each of our own fitness journey's look a little bit different and that's perfectly ok. Here's my post about competing in CrossFit Reach's #FallFest. Read more here....

Cam's pick for the #WODoftheWEEK....see why he hates overhead squats (it's because he's lanky) and what he does to overcome what he's worst at...sometimes you come across a WOD that kicks your ass - and other times you know it's going to be a grind. This time, it was both. Read more....

So, there I was...on my first day of CrossFit and all I could think about was, 'Aren't there supposed to be more knee high socks and dudes calling each other bro's, slapping asses and shit?'
