Tiree has been a member for as long as we have been open. Here is a great little read about her passions in life and her favorite thing about CrossFit.
“I Have been doing CrossFit for around 3 years now and started it after quitting competitive cheerleading, which I had been doing for 6 years prior. Joining CrossFit was the best thing I ever did, especially for my perception of body image. After being in aesthetic sports for many years, it was refreshing coming into an environment where more emphasis was placed on what your body could do rather than what it looked like. Over summer I worked with a Black water rafting company and will most likely join back with them this summer. Best job ever! We got to guide hundreds of tourists a day (not all at once) through our precious cave, tell them about the glow worms and formations, then throw them off waterfalls. I’ve been into caving early on thanks to my Dad and his passion for it.
CrossFit has definitely been a struggle recently with my deteriorating asthma and bronchitis, especially when the intensity gets high and I feel as though I’m breathing through a straw! But nevertheless I still love training-maybe minus the running- and try go as much as possible.
Thanks for the awesome encouraging atmosphere team, it really makes all the difference”!
You are always keen to learn, which makes you so easy to coach. It is awesome having you as part of our community and even if your health is not 100% you always turn up and do your best. A lot of people could learn from that. Your point on body image is one of the most important ones and something everybody need to know about and understand.

WOD: 15 min EMOM
Death by DB Thrusters 22.5/15kg

Run 1.6 km for time (4 block laps)
If you miss a rep count within the 15 min, drop 3 reps and stay at that same number for the remainder of the 15 mins
Example: If you miss out on the round of 12 reps, cut your reps to 9 in the remaining 3 mins of the workout.
Challenge yourself on this one do not go too light.
