June Athlete of the Month: Sharon Squire!

Behind her sweet, petite exterior, our June “Athlete of the Month” is a powerhouse. Sharon Squire, in her two years doing CrossFit with us, has quietly amassed a long list of really impressive accomplishments in the gym: strings of unassisted strict pullups, a 35″ box jump, and an unbelievable 8-minute plank. Can we say Superwoman?! And if that’s not enough, Sharon is a regular speed demon on the trails, with endless long-distance races, including several half-marathons, under her belt and counting. She never ceases to impress us — we are so proud of her!

Definitely the camaraderie. During a workout when I feel my arms burn or that I have no air left in my lungs, someone will call my name, or shout “you’ve got this, ” and it gives me the motivation to up the pace or keep going strong.  

Improved stamina. Before starting CrossFit about two years ago, I started running and I thought completing a 30-minute run without stopping was my limit.  Now I’m running half-marathons!

Improved bar work.  Mastering kipping pull-ups and linking toes-to-bar is my goal.
