i am a 62 year old watchmaker and jeweller who has spent a lifetime working at a bench, i have a wife who puts up with me training every day and who cooks mainly paleo for me (she thinks i am mad) i have four fantastic children, three daughters 19,22,32 and a son 36 y.o, and a newly arrived grand daughter,and my three eldest children all do crossfit, which spurs me on as i still dont believe i am 62, it is only when the bones creak in the morning after a particularly heavy wod the night before that i believe it, my greatest thrill in the gym is when i smoke the 20 -30 year olds in a wod, doesnt happen to often though, for recreation other than crossfit , i collect harley davidsons. last year i sat out the open as a competitor but did the judges course so as to be involved, due to rupturing my back in august 2013.... it has taken me a long time to get back close to where i was , i am still not 100% but getting close, thanks to the great coaches at my box .crossfit to me is my journey ...... not the destination
