"A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees." - Amelia Earhart
Announcements:
Many of you may know we get most of our programming (M, Tu, W, F, Sa) from Pat Sherwood at CF Linchpin. He puts out some resources to pair with his programming that I’ve not shared in the past, but may start doing so from time to time, as I think they’re excellent and may provide some context for folks who are more interested in the “why” of what we do.
First up, this link is Pat’s explanation of “modulating intensity,” or why we may intentionally vary our intensity (or “go harder” on some days than others). Modulating Intensity this week (please know we shift up and add stuff to his programming often, so when he breaks down what he’s doing on what day, that may not correspond to what we’re doing in class. Not the point. Just pay attention to the explanation around his decisions of when to push and when to back off.)
Tuesday is Veterans’ Day. We’ll run a special schedule and do one Community WOD class at 9:30am. This is a special workout we usually do each year on Veterans’ Day called “Chad.” If you need a door code to come in at another time in the day, that’s all good! Just call or text Ben at 828-338-9718.
I watched this the other day and recommend it. Sharing here on Veterans’ Day. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/new-documentary-explores-use-of-psychedelics-to-treat-combat-veterans-with-ptsd

“Rebuild” returns! Beginning today, we’ll shift the programming a bit on Thursdays and Sundays. Years ago, we integrated programming from Marcus Filly, led by Coach Brooke, that we called “Rebuild.” This was strength and conditioning with more emphasis on bodybuilding and tempo/time under tension, allowing athletes to slow down and recover from the demands of CrossFit while also offering an opportunity (if they chose) to load weight and push their cardio during a WOD. For many, you won’t notice a huge difference in what we’re doing, but this will be familiar for some of our veteran athletes (we’ve actually been sneaking this in a bit over the last couple weeks!).
