Stronger people

Community makes it better
Mt. Rainier's Strongest Man and Woman II was a great success. The event raised money and awareness for Fragile X, the most common inherited cause of mental impairment and the most commonly known cause of autism.

The venue was bustling and energetic, the competition strong, and the event well organized. Everyone had a grand time. CrossFit was well represented, the crowd full of folks in t-shirts from a number of of affiliates. You know you are around fellow CrossFit athletes when you hear someone say, "They may be strong, but do you think they could complete all the events back to back, one end to the other, for time?" That would be an interesting twist, now, wouldn't it...

We were proud to part of such a great event, put on by great people, from a great community. Better every year!


Pull Carrie, pull!Pull Heather, pull!
Pull, carry, press

Thanks Eastside! You guys were fantastic competitors and you are great friends. Thanks again for bring such a tremendous group of people!

...that should have said "bringing"

I'll definitely be there next year. Strong work!

Chicks who pull trucks are rad.

There's clearly a ghost in that group picture. If you look closely, you'll note that only two people in the picture are actually able to see the ghost, while everybody else remains blissfully unaware.

If you look even more closely than that, you'll be able to clearly see that the ghost just kicked me in the junk and ran off.

Looks like you all had a lot of fun again this year! Except for Sean, who got kicked, apparently. Great to see that you came out to play, Brock :)
