Brian Matthews
Not quite a myth but also not, not a living legend. Once this man swam across the Aral Sea... twice.... on one breath. Twice he's summited Mt. Wycheproof so fast he only had to decent the mountain once. His Fran time is so fast you need a sun dial and Diogenes's abacus to time him. He squats more than 1000 red ants can lift, all while reading the New York Times ..... In Sanskrit. You do push ups, he does earth downs with the 1/1,000,000,000 full size scale globe in everyone's favorite science teachers class, Ms. Valarie Frizzle. He's prevented WWIII with out ever having to pause the game nor taking out the trash like mommy asked. He can jump higher than his dreams have plummeted..... year .....after year. He has the ability to turn any normal activity into AMRAP, minus pooping that's for time, ALWAYS. Also..... RX+ is pooing with out touching the toilet just an FYI, let me see you do that Mr. I'm better than everyone else fRaSeR. He records all of his work outs, on everyone else's phones and then tags himself in all of your date night photos with that one person that you cant get enough of, SO DREAMY. But guess what buttercup, that heartthrob still cant redline as fast as the one and only, the man, the myth and urban legend for being the the absolute most average worker outer ever in the history of history and way before CrossFit started playing games with everyone's emotions by forcing us to attempt to solve their ever so clever, but absolutely in now way a hint, Open hints. Give it up.... or down for the high school home schooled Prom King .............. BRIAN "Coach" MATTHEWS !!!!!!!!!!!!
