In my career (USCG) and especially at the type of unit I am at, Fitness is a pretty important factor to the types of jobs/missions we have to accomplish (wait sitting on a boat for a few hours?....) We are actually held accountable for passing a standard PT test and are required to attend morning PT 5 days a week.
A little while back, I got a buddy of mine to head out to Malibu Creek State Park with me to do some mountain biking! The above photo is Glenn in all his glory after mashing up a pretty sizable hill. It was his first time on a real trail, and I can see he was enthused and would take it serious enough to go again. Which is great, because well I always like people to ride with.
Now Glenn is pretty avid into Crossfit (oh and check here!) And because I dragged him though the trails and hills of Malibu on my singlespeed MTB.. I promised to attend a Crossfit WOT (work out?) session for PT at work.
So, because of having Love of a sport. We were both exposed to a new world of fitness / fun and a little dedication.. oh and pain and sweat
