C5 Athlete Testimonial

Below is an e-mail from one of the C5 family.  This athlete is a law enforcement officer and has been kicking a$$ since the day he arrived.  The other law enforcement officers mentioned also train at C5.  Thanks for keeping our streets safe!!!!!

As I sit and reflect about my shift last night, I cannot help but
smile just a bit…

So Einstein was trying to run from justice last night and took a
circuitous route up a hill, over some fences and across the freeway.
After he dodged traffic like he was playing Frogger, he crossed the
path of my patrol car. I ran after him and ordered him to stop. Funny
thing is, he did not seem to be interested in complying at the time.

We ran towards other responding patrol cars that were consuming open
real estate and closing in fast. I physically directed Einstein onto
the ground. I saw 3 other CrossFit Cops spring into the mix. As he
struggled a bit, my brothers in blue and I made short work of getting
him handcuffed.

Einstein was spent and decided there was no time like the present to
vomit for a few minutes. I could tell from his production, Einstein
seemed to have done too much carbo-loading earlier in the evening with
rice, beer and who knows what else.

As I watched the guy flopped in the grass, aggressively exchanging
carbon dioxide for cool sea air and vomiting everything he ate in the
last week, I noticed something peculiar; none of the CrossFitters
seemed to be breathing hard. In fact, if not for the slightly muddied
uniforms and grins, I would not think any of us were just involved in
the foot pursuit and capture of such an inspired individual.

We pointed this out to the genius, but he did not seem to appreciate
the results of CrossFit as much as we did. Perhaps someday he will
drink the Kool-Aid, but for last night, he got a warm bologna sandwich
behind bars

Yeah, I’m coming to CrossFit this week.

See you Monday
