Fran. The most famous of CrossFit benchmarks.  We are doing this one in the next two weeks.  Done right it’s fast, it’s gross and the faster you go the worse it gets.
This video below is how it came together. Michelle and I were at this exact speech by Coach Glassman way back in 2011 at CF Bellevue. I remember this day as we got to spend a couple hours with Coach and a bunch of affiliate owners just peppering him with questions, then had a cookout and shared beers as he worked the room thanking everyone for bringing CrossFit to their communities. Back then we were one of the first 1,000 affiliates. Now there are almost 14,000. Many of those affiliates are still around and many more are no longer here; but the growth of CrossFit over those years has been staggering.
