Welcome to Episode 18 of the Masters in Motion Podcast! This week, we delve into a variety of topics starting with a discussion on CEO Don Faul's recent comments at the North America West Semifinals. We also celebrate the success of the female age group athletes who shone brightly at the West Semifinals.

In the spirit of Memorial Day, we reflect on the significance of the "Murph," a challenging CrossFit WOD done in honor of Lt. Michael Murphy, a Navy SEAL who was killed in Afghanistan.

Our main segment explores the history of Age Groups at the CrossFit Games from 2010 - 2014. We'll go through the first year, the types of events introduced, and how the age groups evolved during these formative years.

Lastly, we address a few of the common criticisms faced by CrossFit, specifically focusing on injury risk. We dive into the nature of CrossFit's high-intensity workouts, discuss how they can potentially lead to injuries, and offer advice on how to safely push your limits.

Whether you're new to CrossFit or a seasoned athlete, join us for this insightful episode that combines current events, a walk through CrossFit history, and critical discussions on the sport's challenges. Don't miss it! #MastersInMotion #CrossFitGames
