Varied Not Random #183: Hurting, sore all over & angry.
A new person has only been doing CrossFit for 3 weeks. They are hurting & sore all over. They can barely keep up during the workouts. Recently, this new person decided to stop before the entire workout was complete. The other members of the gym tried to motivate him by yelling, “Go! Go! Go!”, but that was the last thing this person wanted to hear & he yelled at them to be quiet. Was the new member out of line? Were the other members right or wrong? Pat & Adrian address these issues.
