Athlete Profile- RayRay, a former Marine, came to us in early December with a need for CrossFit to get over his plateau. At that point, he had already lost 40 lbs by changing his diet and using a Bowflex and Water-rower erg. He was hesitant at first to try CrossFit but quickly learned the basics and started taking regular classes. Ray doesn't let anything get in the way of a good at home WOD. He consistently CrossFits either at home or on the road and has managed to work around two injuries in the last month. Ray's dedication is unparalleled and we are honored to have him as part of the CrossFit KoP family. He's featured above with his newest at home equipment. (Ray, I bet your wife is happy, no more box jumps on the cedar chest).
Keep up the strong work Ray!

Ray you have a lot of heart and dedication to get WODS done at home. Not to mention your an all around good guy.
I love the Joe Pa quote.
i heart joepa in a big way!
Aw schucks, you folks are too kind. It's kind of hard not to be motivated around you guys and gals.
Scott, thanks for the thought, but I did it my own damn self!!! I used my daughters swing set for a pull up station. There are ladder rungs overhead that allowed me to take a neutral grip like on gymnastics rings, and I could do it!!! It felt so good to do pull ups again!
Time: 23:53 as RX'd
If you thought yesterday's Facebook pic was cool, then check out today's. You should see the divots that I carved out of the ground doing the burpees.
Hopefully, I will see some you at Doreen's fundraiser if I get cleared to go out. Maybe my wife will come, but she works this weekend.
Intense work everyone this morning...GO CATS!!!!
