One of our owners, Ben O., and long time member, Emily H., completed the Big D Marathon over the weekend. This was Emily’s third marathon and Ben’s first ever. Their goal was to complete it in under 4 hours which they reached and with a stunning time of 3:48 and 3:45, respectively. Their training was a little unconventional as neither logged in many miles each week but substituted some of their shorter weekly runs with WODs. This goes to show how your training in here carries over into sport outside of the box, even long distance running.
That is not the biggest news of the past few days for these two, though. The CrossFit power couple got engaged last night! What a way to cap off a weekend after completing your first marathon together. Now these two will start the marathon of life together pretty soon (excuse the corniness). We wish you guys the best!
