A couple months ago I saw this video on the CrossFit Journal and found it very inspiring and motivational. It tells the story of Dylan, a CrossFitter at CrossFit Flagstaff and his experience with CrossFitting with cerebral palsy. In case you are needing an extra boost today just think of Dylan.

Thanks for the video on Dylan. Just watched it, the whole version. I’m still “recovering” from it. It is really touching. Thanks Mandy.
3 + 12 @75#, 20″ box
Trying to catch Lilly the whole time. And her mom!
2 + 15 Rx. Slow going, but glad I was able to Rx the pull-ups.
In your honor Sgt Daniel Sakai.
Just noticed, I did Danny back on 1/21/11 – 2 +3 using red & purple bands…
This makes me feel much better about the “slow going”.
WOD: ….
Need to let my shoulder heal, and not re-pull it. Please feel free to smack me if you see me doing any upper body movements for the next two weeks!
I think I benched 45 kilos…and someone just asked me what I bench too. Now I know.
WOD: 2+35 RX with the weight, not the pull ups…used a red and purple band for those. I don’t know which one I loathe more: pull ups or burpies. (Why can’t we ever substitute jumping jacks?…maybe I’ll start a small club ‘The Jumping Jackers’) Great working out with Kipping Kinshaw one last time!
ARB 4-eva.
In all seriousness, in your honor, Sergeant Sakai and fellow officers.
I have not bench pressed in almost 2.5 years…well since I started xfit. Was able to put up BW (100kg) easily which was nice.
Hard to describe how much I did not want to get to the gym today…2+45 Rx weight & box but banded pull ups. Looking forward to much rest this weekend!
bench: 75 kg (80 x 2)
danny: 2 rounds + 73 reps rx
Danny: 2+5 (24″ box, 25kg, and Rx pull-ups)
In your honor, SGT Sakai.
Major kudos to KP on her first official class as COACH KP! Bonus – the “junkyard dogs” in the warm-up = fun!
This was my first WOD with Rx pull-ups (and first WOD with rips – fortunately not too bad – but now I know I REALLY pushed it). I even didn’t count two where my chin didn’t get over the bar! I’m not sure how it happened, but at some point I tripped and fell into badassness (?) Hehe!
Really enjoyed today – nice job 5:30 – y’alls rock!
Duh, you’ve been in the land of badassery for a while, C!
I’m *really* glad I didn’t kick you during junkyard dogs – I was sincerly concerned.
Great job on a great Shirt Free Friday!
Bench: sets of 3 @ 120 KG
Danny: 2 rds + 67 RX
WOD: 2+50 w/ag box, 26kg & green band
I agree with Mike – looking forward to rest and recovery, ready to start again Monday. Great week Fenway!
WOD: 3+27 with 20″ box, 25k, purple band
