CrossFit Houston hosted the Summer Challenge yesterday. Thanks to the CFH staff, judges and volunteers for putting together a rigorous test and great event. Congratulations to all the athletes that braved the heat and the WOD’s.
Special thanks to CF West Houston athletes Daniel Brewster and Kimberly Varhaug for coming out to support Sandra and I as we competed. I competed in the Men’s Standard division and was sadly substandard yesterday by not completing the first WOD in the time limit. Sandra competed in the women’s modified division completing both WOD’s in under 18 minutes. Great Job Sandra!

The law of individuality tells us we are all the same, but we are all different. We are all made of blood and tissue but how we approach things or respond is individual. Everyone will respond differently based on genetics, stress load, nutrition, and recovery. However, there are some general things that you can focus […]
