]]> Comment on Six months of CrossFit by Jameson http://www.zetetical.org/blog/?p=196&cpage=1#comment-5301 Jameson Fri, 08 Jul 2011 06:28:08 +0000 http://www.zetetical.org/blog/?p=196#comment-5301 i know this post is years old, but i really liked it. good for you doing crossfit 6 months! i just started. I found your comments humorous and not without truth on a lot of crossfitters getting all "culty" about it. I like the community, and the community is a great thing for exchanging ideas and encouragement and motivation. on the extreme end i find it highly ironic that, unfortunately, so many crossfitters get all egotistical about it being the greatest thing ever, or Glassman's (crossfit founder) gift to mankind, bestowed upon him by God...i hyperbolize. I find it ironic because over and over again, in many of the articles, and what the main crossfit site says itself, is that its goal is to be all inclusive and open to new ideas. I believe they do this for the most part. But it's still funny to me that people get all "clique-y" about it, but I guess thats human nature. i know this post is years old, but i really liked it. good for you doing crossfit 6 months! i just started.

I read his book, Thunder Below, and was awed by what he did and the way he did it. I wish I could have served with him but I am not sure I would have had the courage and stamina to face and overcome what he and his crew went through. Rest in Peace Gene.

It's fun, not very destructive to your knees, and it's a great core workout. Plenty of really great places in NYC as well, and there's always the boulders at Central Park if you want to enjoy the outdoors (just get a crashpad for that). Try bouldering.

There are a bunch of climbing walls in the city, and an endless series of high-drama real world challenges. No idea how CrossFit would fit in there, of course. Rock climbing?
