CrossFit Over 40
Allison Belger, who placed 1st in the CrossFit Sweat Shop Masters Event in October 2009, recently wrote an article that was published in the CrossFit Journal. It’s a great article that talks about what CrossFit is like for the 40 and up crowd. It also includes her account of the three events she competed in at the Sweat Shop Masters Event.

It calls upon dormant hormones and startles to awareness the athlete in all of us. With each WOD, we are forced to decide how hard we will push, how fast we will go, how much we will lift, how well we will move. Unlike our contemporaries gliding on the elliptical machines with magazines in hand, we cannot go through the motions of our exercises while thinking about something entirely unrelated.”
