Tough Mudder Fail, Local 5K, And The Weekend Schedule

Posted October 11, 2012 by Ryan Savard in Blog

A few of our members went down to Austin for the Tough Mudder event this past weekend. One of the many obstacles they had to overcome was to run through a slew of hanging wires, some live some not. Adam didn’t exactly make it though unscathed. Watch until the end. It is pure gold.

My first job out of college landed me in the great city of Austin. Beautiful city, great people, and some of the best breakfast tacos I’ve ever had in my life (Mi Madres off Manor for life). I worked consistent 60-80 hour weeks and got lazy when it came to working out. Even though I had a free membership to a gym I always found an excuse to either not go or not work out as hard as I could. Fast food became a habit and frequenting happy hours, 6th street, and Rainy were the norm. After a little less than 2 years in our capitol my weight skyrocketed to the heaviest I’ve ever been in my life.

A job transfer brought me to Dallas in April. New city, new job—it was time for change. I had heard about CrossFit before but was initially turned off by the stereotypes. My perception changed after a conversation with a buddy from college. I caved and signed up for Elements on June 4th—the decision to join has changed my life. I’ve lost over 30lbs, gained muscle, and for the first time in my life I have self-control when it comes to what I eat. This hasn’t been just a health kick; this has become a lifestyle change… and I’ve only just begun.
