Team

Watching the CrossFit Games was pretty much phenomenal.  One of my favorite parts was the final team event.  In a surprising twist the slate was wiped clean for a "winner take all" type of contest.  The winning team was CrossFit New England.

I don't know anyone from this gym, nor have I ever been to Massachusetts.  But I was quite impressed by this group of people.  There were red CFNE shirts everywhere!  Lots of fans had flown out to support the team.  Their cheers (and CF-NE chants) could be heard throughout the stadium.  Not to mention the fact that this video is totally inspiring.


It was obvious that everyone from CFNE was a part of the team.   It didn't matter whether they were in the stands or on the stadium floor doing the wods, they all seemed to have a real unity about them.  While I know that that unity extends beyond the boundaries of separate crossfit gyms, it was incredible to see a team come together like that.  Congrats team CFNE!
