The threat is real and must be addressed. No longer can peripheral support structures risk the possible consequence of association. Overt connection to 324 within the CrossFit community is inherently dangerous. Imperialistic powers could threaten the livelihood of a sound facility. Separation in the name of protection is prudent and necessary.
Moving forward requires never forgetting the past. Exposure, opportunity, and support all tendered from within the walls of a warrior cult. Verbose expression of gratitude stands only to dilute appreciation and credit due. Previous, current, and future success intrinsically extracted from the time spent marking personal improvement on hollow ground.
In this critical hour, that ground has shifted, and change is afoot. Particulars will be noted and questions will be asked. The daily chronicles cataloged on channel 324 are now solely the exploits of two rogue foot soldiers, operating outside the parameters of restrictive guidelines or the requisite silence of affiliation. The philosophy and opinions contained within do not align with popular mechanics or ham radio bandwidth. This is high octane, low emission, carbon clearing, petrol burning, foot up your ass evolution. Consider yourself THREE TWO FOUR-WARNED!
But I had my Ham radio all ready to go
ReplyDeletewhat do you mean it doesn't align...
i can only assume how difficult this decision has been but to call it a necessary evil would be an understatement. i'm surprised it didn't happen sooner. in the interest of both parties there is no question that the right decision has been made. another umbilical cord has been cut and from this act new life is allowed to grow and evolve on its own without fear of unintentional harm falling upon the mother. personally i'm excited to see and hear the words and actions now that the muzzle is off and the leash has been gnawed through. run wild and enjoy the freedom. the opportunity to further define 324 and explore any and all possibilities is yours for the taking. although i'm sure it's bitter sweet i must say congratulations. heading down an unknown path on your own is not an easy task, even with the occasional comfort and camaraderie of a like minded side kick.
ReplyDeleteLife is not about waiting around is it?
ReplyDeleteWow,nice, one of the best read posts so far.
ReplyDeleteI mean no offense to anyone, but i saw this coming. There have been others, like us, who developed a foundation in CF, but tired of the monotony & decided creativity & diversity were the best way to test ourselves both physically & mentally. As a trainer, it's easy for me to program workouts for others,especially clients who aren't as fit. The trouble is...i have to do it so much, I have a hard time coming up with a workout for myself. Therefore, I am grateful for 324. I don't have much to work with, but improvisation gets to be fun too.
ReplyDelete324 is a virtual battleground, set adrift in an overcrowded sea of bloodsucking minutiae. We are impervious to the discouragement of pain, the comfort of support, and the addiction of feeling good. Fear of reprisal is everyone's enemy. It stifles our progress and oppresses the freedom to live by our own standards, reasons, and objectives. The free generation of ideas and the fortitude to test and risk failure is a basic tenet of our constitution. The encouragement to freely express ourselves on the canvas of the cold gym floor is a duty made to pay forward to anyone who has the slightest inclination to come to, let go of the rail, and walk on their own. This isn't facebook and doesn't serve egos as much as it does the lone wolf, the pioneer who goes where he or she pleases and in so doing finds familiarity in uncharted territory. Turn your winks off and your night vision goggles on. There's a war going on and its fought within.
