Many of us played sports as kids, or still play organized sports on one level or another. For most of us, though, traditional organized sports are a thing of the past. Sure we enter a few road races now and then, or do the random sprint triathalon, but really we're no longer involved as participants in organized sports. Work, family, kids, or lack of organized adult sports leagues limit our ability to compete like we used to. What CrossFit does, though, is allow us to compete daily in what looks like organized sporting events. Whether we're doing a metcon, weightlifting, or gymnastics workout (or any combination thereof), we're competing with ourselves and our fellow CrossFitters to improve our past performances and reach higher levels of fitness. And we do this in a supportive, motivating, team-like environment that you don't find in other gyms or programs.
