Flashing our Viking Crossfit signs at the Firefighter's 5K race.

The cool thing about Crossfitter's being able to run a 5k is that we don't train for long distance running. We run 400m and occasionally 800m sprints. But running a 5k was not a problem for any of us on Saturday. Because we train everyday for so much more.
In Greg Amundson's word's "In the hopper model of fitness, where an athlete never knows the physical event they will be called upon to perform, the goal of Crossfit is to create a "ready state" where an athlete can perform at 80% in any physical event. "
I believe as Crossfit athletes we prove this every day. Crossfit fitness is truly the best fitness program in the world.
