“Regularly learn and play new sports.” Greg Glassman – Founder of CrossFit.
CrossFit is superb at preparing athletes for the unknown and unknowable. It is easy to forget that all of our hard training is meant to allow us to go out and enjoy other activities! Here at CrossFit Deep Ellum, we are looking for a fine bunch of individuals who would like to get outside, maybe get a little dirty, and engage in new sports and activities. This will be the start of an “adventure” team. Ideas include mountain biking, trail running, rock climbing, competitions like Muddy Buddy, 5k’s & marathons. The possibilities are endless. Although this isn’t a competitive team, we could make it as such. This will be fun and interesting, and a way to get to know your fellow gym members better.
With that being said, the first “event” we would love you all to enter is the Katy Trail 5K next Thursday at 6pm. I know it’s short notice, but the coaches that aren’t teaching class that night have signed up and are looking forward to seeing you out there representing our gym. The link can be found HERE.
Look us up
I’m in! Extremely excited about this.
I will be running the 5k and if you are as well, let me know in the comments or shoot me an email at koy@crossfitdeep.com
I’d like to keep track of who is doing the races for a cool t-shirt idea that I have.
I have tons of other ideas for this group and the more people we get involved the better it will be.
Koy- would like to do the 5K but I will have my son with me. Do you think it will be a problem to bring my jogging stroller?
stephanie, there shouldn’t be a problem. they usually have tons of people with strollers, kids or pets.
I should be getting back the day after the 5k unfortunately, but put me down for anything else
anything else?
I’m signed up for the race. If anyone hasn’t done it before it really is a fun time, the picnic afterwards in reverchon park is great. Lots of food samples from all the restaurants around uptown.
I’m exited about finally starting the element class on the 17th !! ….. give me a little time to build myself up so I can keep up with you guys and I definitely would like to join!!!
In for the team, but I think I am out this Thursday unfortunately
I’m in and registered for the 5K as well.
Brian can be the engine and I’ll be the caboose!
Chip that’s you in that picture right? That’s a badass shot, man.
In! but not for Thursday.
thats me.
Pam, don’t worry. I’m signed up as well, so I will definitely be the last one to finish. This will be my first official 5k, so I’m a little nervous. I’ve heard it’s a fun one, though, so hopefully I’ll survive.
been waiting for this as i like doing the races
also, i have a 2 person inflatable kayak, hopefully it is still funcational. i only have one paddle so if we can borrow another paddle we can go kayaking.
Im in. Not sure about the race this week though.
Registered!

And wow.
yeah, was kind of thinking this was along the lines of beer pong before i watched the video . . .
E- made us a forum to discuss the next couple of races. Post which ones you are interested in attending.
I’ve got 9 people who are going so far. You guys interested in a car pool?
I’m good for meeting at the box (or other) and heading that way . . .
i’m in for the group fo sho – but unless they have rowing machines out at the Katy – im out. I am however, stoked to be back at the box. 3 weeks is a long time off.

That race looks sweet, I’m in!
Guys and Gals,
I’m posting this in a couple places. Would you guys be down for the Caveman Crawl on 06/12? I’m going to sign up and want to get as many people from the gym that we can. We will have our new shirts in and we should represent. We can meet at the gym and carpool to save some gas. Hit me up @ koy@crossfitdeep.com
