Get Off Our Lawn - CF Masters

A huge part of Crossfit is our community. It was awesome talking to Rebecca who, in the space of a couple of weeks, went from active crossfitter and marathoner, to learning how to walk again. She's strong, she's tough, and she's funny as hell. She also ignored one of the most famous voices in marathon running who told her not to and ran the Boston marathon on less than 8 weeks of training. I guess that means she's a bit obstinate too.

18 months ago Rebecca, now 43 and a member of Crossfit Panther City in Fort Worth, was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumor that required almost immediate surgery. Those of you in the CF Masters group have seen her frequent updates on her diagnosis, her surgery, her setbacks (including 2 concussions) and her progress. She has been an open book, and it was great to hear more about her story and the things she has done in her life.

When Rebecca talks about how support from her local Crossfit and from across the world from the CF Masters group helped her family feel like she was in a good place - try not to feel a tug on your heart. OK, don't try, it's moving as hell.

If anyone is interested you can join Rebecca at the Cowtown Half Marathon on Sunday March 1st, 2020 on her team: Team Lemonade Makers.

In this episode we get to spend some time with Del Lafountain, 62 year old Master Athlete, multiple times Crossfit Games veteran, Champion for the 60+ age group, programmer for the free Masters Wod (on Facebook), and an all-around class act. We talk about his experience, intensity changes as we age, what doesn't change as we age, and his plans going forward. Del is a fixture in our community, and we hope you enjoy the conversation with Del.

And we forgot to say "GET OFF OUR LAWN!"

Welcome to the inaugural episode of Get Off Our Lawn, the CF Masters podcast. In Episode 1, we introduce you to the personalities of the Admin team, who we are, what makes us, well.... us. A quick word of warning, because there a few of us this is a LONG episode! Going forward we won't be publishing 2 hours of talking.

As we move along we'll be talking to people in the CF Masters community, people outside of the community who have something to say about Masters, and, most importantly, the CF Masters members. This is going to be FUN!!!
