Math + Camaraderie = Community
Well, it might not be as simple as the title of this post suggests, but our brand of CrossFit math and camaraderie sure goes a long way toward building community.
We snapped this picture a couple of days ago, after some of our athletes finished performing the benchmark workout "Barbara" (5 rounds for time of 20 pull-ups, 30 push-ups, 40 sit-ups, and 50 squats).
This photo really could've been taken on just about any day, since we make extensive use of our white boards. But pay close attention to it. Sure, there's the usual (usual in CrossFit circles, at least) smattering of performance metrics, such as the time it takes to complete a round of the workout. But it's the playful teasing, jostling, and kidding that really stands out. Look at the comments on the right side of the board (particularly in the "Candace Kicks A$$" section of the board).
This is a group of people who know how to work hard and have fun while doing it. And support one another.
And special thanks to Candace for being a good sport and letting us post the remarks that were written alongside her performance metrics. Candace is one of our top performers and a future CrossFit trainer to boot.

I ran into Candace at Gaylord's. She claims no knowledge of "letting" us post this...
